I don’t have any 120pf caps on hand, but I have plenty of 100pf and 200pf. Looking at the FuzzDog schematic of the same circuit, it looks like the 120pf cap forms a LPF with a 1k resistor, which if my admittedly rusty math is correct, would put the cutoff at around 1MHz, which seems awfully high. Even a 200pf cap would be around 700kHz which is many many octaves above the threshold of human hearing. Should be able to swap it out with absolutely no impact on tone right— it’s just filtering potential rf noise, right? In that case better to sub for a significantly larger value instead of a slightly smaller value (100pf would cut off at 1.5MHz), right? Just want to make sure I’m not missing something obvious that would put the impact into the audio range.
On another note, would this circuit be a good candidate for subbing the j201 for a J113? I have an absolute ton of J113s and with the scarcity of J201s, it seems I’d be better off saving my 201s for circuits that need it if this one can do without.
