What’s the Deal with Pedalpcb Film Cap Sizing?

[Caldo71]

Upside down installed is the 10n cap.

Okay, Yoda.

That's asymmetrical zener diode clipping, the stages clip at different (and higher than normal) thresholds.

Feedback loop clipping, mind you!

Feedback loop clipping, mind you!

It is indeed.

I find the absurdly specific component values in the kliché builds to be amusing.

I don't have a blank one handy, but 422k and 392k resistors come to mind.

Still looking for those 37 1/3 nf tantalums to come from china.

Like this one, 44 Gallon Drums might Fit!!!

With all that acerage of PCB how's a guy gonna find a way to light his marbles???

I have some comically large .100 uF film caps that I’m planning to use as a dedication to him.

I ordered a bunch of 100V by mistake and I'll throw them in a build every once in a while...lol

I take it you haven't come across one of these tricksters yet?

There's also the 90k9 in the Van Pelt Drive

poor guy hasn't shown back up to see us poking at him..lol Probably building like 50 more clean dang pedals

The only kind of asymmetry allowed on PedalPCB!
