Substituing 1/8 watt resistors for 1/4 watt

So I'm a n00b and accidentally spec'd lower-wattage resistors for my Captain Crunch build because I'd done another one with 1/8 watt and assumed it'd be the same... I clearly missed the notation in the build docs. Should I re-order the correct resistors from Tayda or can I just use the 1/8 watt resistors instead of waiting two weeks for the replacements? I have a rudimentary knowledge of circuit theory but I'm not too familiar with AC behavior or how you calculate voltage in circuits with op-amps, etc.

Thanks for any insight you all can provide. Two steps forward, one step back...
 
Just use the 1/8w, there’s no issue there.

I figured as much but wanted to be sure. Thanks so much!

**EDIT: I put the pedal together right after Nostradoomus's reply and it worked perfectly. Pending a few replacement parts that I misordered (power jack and LED) in the mail my Crunch Captain will be buttoned up by Tuesday. Thanks again!
