mb3k is correct!!! When doing my research, I read about these orange caps, how some like, so dislike for various reasons. I put my order in, per Tangents tutorial... and low and behold, what arrives... big, huge orange caps. I figured, ok, whatever. Problem came when placing them on the board. They are so HUGE and bulky. When I ordered, I had no idea on these things being a total newbie...
What caps can be used in place of these orange ones?
Joshatdot, yeah, I was following your threads. I was worried I would have major problems. At the 2nd test phase (Tangent's), I was getting sound, but was very scratchy. I cleaned up the flux, cleaned some near bridging and then found I hadn't soldered a resistor. Bingo, it worked! Proceeded to cross my fingers and added the pot and jacks. Had some problems with bridging on the pot and fixed that. I don't know if you can see in the pictures, but I used type of rubber foam (tool drawer liners) that I stuffed into areas where I thought bridging might occur later. After that, I crammed into the tin and it worked! The next one I will tighten up the wiring now that I know how it fits.
