So today I decided to order some new caps for my red Fuzz Face pedal from Evatco, one leg of the original 10nF output cap literally fell off it as I was doing some troubleshooting of the pedal to figure out why it sounded real blatty when first switched-on, after a while the sound would gradually become more like what it was supposed to sound like, I thought that maybe one of the solder joints might be dry and need re-doing, so I went through all of the solder joints and re-worked them, when I got to the solder joints for the 10nF output cap, I used some solder wick to remove the old solder so I could put new solder on, and as I was in the process of removing the 10nF cap one of the solder legs literally fell off, I didn't have any spare 10nF caps so I used a 47nF/630V greencap as a temporary replacement to get the pedal going again, that got rid of the initial blatty-ness.
I ordered the following caps from Evatco:
X1 .01uF/630V Metalized RT.
X1 2.2uF/100V Electrolytic RT.
X1 20uF/50V Electrolytic RT.
I went with express postage so the new caps should arrive by maybe next week at the latest.
If you look at the close-up pic of the circuit board in my previous post, the output cap is the one closest to the two mounting screws for the circuit board.
