SOLVED Powder Blue 120uF - 16v cap safe?

[pcb rookie]

I'm building the Powder Blue next and while picking the components, I noticed that the 120uF caps I have in stock are rated 16 volt. My basic circuit knowledge/understanding is that in this case it should be safe but I want to make certain that i'm reading this correctly...

There is no voltage charge pump in the circuit and the two 47k res (R101-R102) act as voltage divider so there should be no more than 4.5v on C102?
C100 would also be safe with 16v?

They'll be fine.

100uF is perfectly acceptable as well.

I use 16V caps in a lot of pedals, mostly because I bought a bunch of them a long time ago and still have lots.

Just don't try to run the pedal on 18V, or use them any pedal that has a built-in voltage doubler.

Nowadays I usually buy 35V when I shop, so they can be safe for any pedal, regardless of the voltage (with some headroom to spare).

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll move forward with the 16v I have on hands!

That was quick....you didn't give me a chance to post my strikethrough-redaction-solution.

It’s never too late if you feel inspired to jump in!

Changing those cap values will cause a disruption in the space-time continuum.

Oops, no they should be fine.



(thanks...I feel much better now)
