Glass Capacitors?

[SturatMcC]

Hey folks! Does anyone here have any experience using glass capacitors in pedals? I’ve got a bunch but am concerned about issues with microphonic overtones the way ceramic caps can develop them!

Are they the Owens Corning micas?
I've been collecting them slowly.
If anything, they're overkill for pedals.

Random web hit of the cgw ones

They're basically -ish an early version of silver micas. Except glass encased. They went to the moon and on exploding projectiles

There are other glass caps, carbon based I think.
