Title: Cap question?
Post by: jason h on March 29, 2004, 07:53:42 PM
I'm building an EA trem, and I  wanted to know if I can use Tantalum's for the three 1mF caps?

Thanks
jason h :)

I think these are supposed to be non-polar caps. Panasonic ECQ-V are probably the best, they're really small. You can get them from Digi-key or Mouser. Small Bear has CDE and BC stacked film caps too. They're a little bigger but the GGG PCB is probably layed out for these in fact.
