They'll be MLCC 1uf
Right... why? Coming from HiFi you would never do this.... is it just packaging, cost or ???
A 1uF 50V box film cap will fit in the footprint. WIMA makes one, although its a little pricey. If its in the signal path and a small footprint I use them. Here's the WIMA part number MKS2B041001C00MF00 . I know Mouser carries them, if you use a different large distributor, they should have them also.
The only one that truly "matters" is capacitance. A 1uF capacitor is a 1uF capacitor as far as the circuit is concerned. There are a few reasons to use the different types of caps. The box film have the least electrical noise associated with them, that's why you try to use them in the signal path.
The parts list spec's MLCC because of size, no other reason. If you have a 1uF film that will fit (or can make it fit) feel free.
With that said, a large percentage of the pedals I see these days have ceramic SMD caps all over the signal path. I'm not talking Joyo and Biyang... This is in highly regarded pedals by big name builders.
My thoughts exactlyI was going to say, any negative effects of ceramics (assuming there was a negative impact) would likely be masked by that PT2399 anyway.
This, is in highly regarded pedals by big name builders.

I may get lucky at spotting an assembly issue or bad solder joints, but I have no where near the understanding of how all this stuff works as guys like you and Chuck and many more here, I'm an A/C voltage guy so I can read schematics and DC took some getting used to, but audio paths are still a work in progress for meI joined this forum a while ago but hadn't been active on it
You very quickly suss who's knowledgeable and helpful and you're in amongst it I'm afraid Barry
So yer just gonna have to accept your status, get the t shirt and wear it with pride my man
The guru thug life can sometimes be hard I've heard
