Pythagoras cap sub

[Locrian99]

Hey all just wanted to double check before I place my order. The 15pf in the Pythagoras can I sub a 20 there? Closest thing stompbox parts has and I think the closest I have in hand is 27. Tayda will take a few more days and I haven’t ordered from them since they got rid of the cheap shipping option. It’s my one man protest

Hydra Delay 15pF cap

For the Hydra delay, would it be a problem to swap the 15pF cap to a 10pF or 22pF? Normally I wouldn’t think twice to do so for such a small increment, but I noticed that it runs directly into the crystal oscillator, which I don’t have experience with. I’m not sure if he crystal needs the...

Thanks hadn’t seen that one the one thread I saw mentioned doing series. I guess I can just order from tayda. It’s honestly cheaper even with the more expensive shipping

Hey, I am building a few of these and I notice of all of the smaller ones in the pF range, why is the 15pF the only one with a tiny spot to install? And the 220pF and 470pF go in a larger spot? Are we supposed to use a larger box type/film cap there? .22n and .47n? Makes sense based on the arrangement of pads for the 3 smaller value caps... Thoughts?

I used mlcc for all the pf ranges. And the 1u
