Almost sounds like a gated fuzz but only in high frequency and at any gain level. The drive gates out but clean signal on top sustains. Any ideas if a component could be bad?

Answers all your questions. For this build in particular I would use Polyester Mylar or Box caps for the 47n, 100n, and 220n. Ceramic for the 100p. And electrolytic for the 1u and 100u. Usually electrolytic caps should be rated for atleast double the supply voltage. So anything 18V and up will do<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09688219072066191096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-13080902901893433632018-01-01T17:46:18.305+00:002018-01-01T17:46:18.305+00:00Hi guys, I am a beginner just starting out to get ...Hi guys, I am a beginner just starting out to get into this wonderful world of building effects ;)<br /><br />General question: What caps do I use? There is so many out there...do you guys have a couple of rules of thumb for me which ones would be fitting? Also: What are the correct voltages for the caps...I see they reach from very low up to very high (yes, I unintentionally ordered a bunch of caps for high voltage technology and was wondering, how to fit them on the board :P) <br /><br />Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot! :)<br />Florian Plonskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036063395114631115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-57144444203678304102017-06-19T23:46:15.958+01:002017-06-19T23:46:15.958+01:00Built this pedal. the 47ohm resistor inline with t...Built this pedal. the 47ohm resistor inline with the power diode heated and smoked out after 15 mins of playing.
