Title: EA Tremelo Capacitors

Hey,
I've been having trouble finding some of the ceramic caps for the EA Tremelo from GGG.

I can't get ceramic caps for values over 0.1uF so I need to substitute something else for them. I just bought two 0.47uF and three 1uF monolithic caps, so, before I put them in, I thought I should ask whether they'd work or not...These were a last resort as the Greencaps were rated at 250V so they were huge...the only other choice I have is 'Polyester MKT Style Capacitors'

There's three 1uf's in the LFO.
You can use type there...for a slower speed range use 2.2uf [I did] even bigger would probly work but would not go fast.
If you use electrolytic polarized caps be sure to check out the Runoff's perf showing the orientation of the - on each of these caps.

Smaller cap = faster oscillator speed.
Larger cap = slower oscillator speed. ;)
