Yup, that's it. Just a brand name.
Supposedly it's their "higher quality" pick. I believe it's actually "JB Capacitor".
Can't say I know much about em.

That makes sense.
So, yeah, JFB stands for "Just Fuckin' Basic" capacitors

Check the data sheets/specs but I think those are both pretty big for PCB builds, unless you have space for mojo.
Edit: just looked at the screen shot again 10mm lead spacing, so assume big caps

Yup, good point there.
5mm lead spacing is pretty typical for most of the film and ceramic caps in pedal builds.
Electrolytics tend to be around 2.5, 5mm if you have a particularly large capacitance value or voltage rating.
That's just rule of thumb though. Calipers help.

You probably want either this:

which is thick, so you need to make sure the pcb's spacing will accomodate it, or spend a little more on a skinny WIMA cap:

Is WIMA just a brand name thing or do they sound better & last longer?You probably want either this:
