So a few weeks ago, I finished a Boteh drive (Paisley Drive by Wampler)...
It turned out sounding incredible... lots of dynamics and attitude... I absolutely love it.
I stumbled across a good deal on a Wampler and decided to pick it up to compare... Mine sounded so much more fat and dynamic than the Wampler version... it was the obvious winner... I did a shootout video and a buddy commissioned me to build him two...
Well, last night I'm populating the boards and realized that I had accidentally picked up a 2.2nf to install into C2 (22nf)... No big deal... I went to grab the right part and realized I had incorrectly restocked my parts bin with the wrong value...
I went and looked at my already-complete Boteh, and yeah... I had installed a 2.2nf instead of the specified 22nf...
This presents me with a question, as I crash into the wall of my inexperience and limited knowledge on circuitry...
Common sense tells me "you like the sound of that component instead of the specified component... you don't like the factory pedal as much as the "incorrect" one...So make it "wrong"... Easy choice to make...
however... as far as the circuit is concerned is there any issue with using this incorrect value, as far as it relates to the rest of the circuit... since I'm making these for a friend who intends to give another to a buddy of his as a gift...
If there are no long-term issues that can arise, I'm going to keep this "flaw" as a happy accident... Thoughts, concerns, etc?
