I'm building the Parentheses Fuzz, and have a question about the capacitors. I can tell which are electrolytics from the board (+,-), but I'm not sure about the rest. Are they ceramic, film, tantalum? I'm also building the Skeptical Buffer, and that parts list is specific about capacitor types. Thanks!!!

General rule of thumb is ceramic below 1nf, film above 1nf until and including 1µf, but there's no need to be super anal about adherence in dirt circuits. Rob (Mr. PedalPCB) will usually specify tantalum if it's required, which is somewhat few and far between. Out of the couple hundred PPCB projects I've built I think only 3-4 called for tantalum caps. If I can't figure something like this out by the way, I'll lookup a build report on the forum to see what someone else did so I can at least blame it on them.
