Conqueror Fuzz, inductor question

[Matopotato]

13g with all legs still on
The 470uF is some serious cap. They even put like ads in the minuses...
Will 470uF/16V be too sensitive? I see no charge pump...

Yes that’s the one I got I bent the leg 4 Times to make it parallel to the pcb so it would fit in a 125b enclosure. I can provide a gut shot if you Want ?

So 470uF/16V would cope in the circuit, @fig ?
You'll never hear me decline a gutshot in this forum @forumimagedemarque

Yeah, should be fine. In fact, unless there is a specific purpose involved, you can use a 100uF EC filter, instead of a 470uF.

Here's a shot of the inside

I had a smaller sized cap marked 16V, but in the end thought it is kind of fun to have an almost grotesquely oversized cap in there so I kept it. I think with the other components it could even run on 18V, but need to verify first, and perhaps there is little point of running a Fuzz on 18V...
At first it sounded like another Fuzz, but this one has loads of variation to the voicing. It is really cool and surprised me.



I think I will let it be "The White Pedal" in some sort of homage to The Beatles. (As if they'd need it)



Only slightly annoying thing is that the knobs were a bit shallow, so I should have used some distancing on the pots so they don't stick up so much. Might fix that later on. Or not.

It was a nice build and a very nice sounding final pedal
