Skinny 1uf Capacitors

[BuddytheReow]

I'm currently working on a dark rift delay and the circuit calls for a few 1uf caps. All I've got are the big bulky box film ones and they won't fit against all the other components. Where can I find the skinny ones some of you guys have? I have some tantalum but I don't have the best of luck with their polarity. Thanks!

You can get mlcc in 1uf.

Awesome, thanks! These arent polarized, right?

They are not.

If those are input or output caps you may not want to use MLCCs. 1u are likely X7s which aren't the best for audio. This is one instance where I'm a believer in parts sounding different. I've been using the Kemet or EPCOS 63V 1us, they are small compared to others. I'm not sure if the 50V are even smaller, but maybe.

I used those in my Dark Rift. They're 3.5mm wide though, so not quite as thin as more common film box caps.

My Dark Rift - see the pics for usage, also pic 1 for a creative approach to using a fat box cap where it ain't supposed to go.
