I know this seems ridiculous but I was looking at the parts list and it lists a series of capacitors:
0.0027
0.0033
0.0047

My question is what are these? I mean 2700uF or what? It doesn't really comment but from the looks of other builds these are film or ceramic capacitors but in the 2700uF rating, I am only finding the electrolytic capacitors.

So... a little help, please!

Thanks!

Alright, so they are .0027uF. It didn't say it in the parts list but thanks for your help!

Most BOM (bill of materials) list capacitors in uf, unless otherwise stated.
I hope this helps.

Thanks guys!

Well, I've built the silly thing but now, I'm having what appears to be a common problem with this build. No chorus sound. The rate pot seems to make some audible change to the signal going to amp but too slight to be sure.

I've taken voltages on to chips and compared to other threads, they seem a little high... Some even getting up to about 11v off of a 9v battery.

Regardless, here is a picture of it! https://www.dropbox.com/s/w0z36wz5b9622nz/IMG_20140314_001930.jpg

Actually,
Nevermind! My pedal works just fine. I had a faulty output jack. Once I replaced that, everything works great!

Thanks again for your help!
