Paragon Electrolytic Capacitor Voltage

I just got my parts from tayda today for my build but I mistakenly bought a 10volt 100uF cap for c11. Would it be okay to use? I know the pedal has an 18volt charge pump so Im not sure if the capacitor will be powerful enough.

You want at least double your intended voltage. So if that 10v is in the 18v line it will have a short life.

Yep thats what I was thinking. Thanks for the quick response!

C11 is the Vref filter cap so the most it should see is around 9VDC, but that's still pushing it for a 10V cap.

Okay awesome! I had found a 25volt 100uF cap but I didnt think that'd be enough if it was in the 18volt line. Guess I dont need to overnight a 50volt now lol
