Hi,

Trying to build this without having to pay more shipping costs! I have 2 - 33uf (nf actually) capacitors. The Timmy calls for 39uf (nf). They are positioned as the first cap after the input jack and between the bass trim and bass knob.

Do you think it is acceptable (problemetic) use the 33uf? What difference, if any, do you think it would make?

I've attached the schematic and highlighted the caps in question.

Thank you! Termina PIC.png

You want to use 33nF, not uF, and it doesn't really make a big difference. There might be a slight change in bass response, but nothing that would alter the character of the pedal
 
It will make your bass less bassy when set at the lowest bass setting of the pot. You might even want to try a 47nF cap there to make it sound a bit more midrangey. Differences will be fairly subtle though.
