Guvernator Distortion

[K Pedals]

this was one of the first pedal I ever built so it was cool to come back to it all these years later...

Super tidy build! I love the 0 ohm resistors you've used for the 3PDT board, very classy.

a fine effort.

Sorry to revive an old thread but curious what value you used for C1? Build doc says 9N6 which is not a value I've been able to track down. I'm thinking 10N should be fine?

Thanks!

10nF will be fine.

10nF will be fine.

Cool. Thank you!

Might be worth getting a cheap capacitance meter. once you've accumulated enough spare parts, you'll find quite a few are a bit out of spec. i bet you could find a cap labeled 10nf thats actually more like 9.6

That’s still in spec for a 10nf cap with +\- 5-10% tolerance!

I thought about that but I'm worried it will bring my OCD to a new level!

Yeah I wonder how much of a difference it makes and how something like 9.6 would even make it on to a schematic. It's not a value on the Tonepad trace I did almost 15 years ago. I wish I still had my original to compare!

The factory probably ran out of 10N caps and that was the closest thing they had.
