Multilayers are GREAT! Get an assortment pack of axial ones as well as the redials. That way you can cover the short span and the multi-row span locations.

Use them anywhere a polarity is not specified.

HOWEVER, you can use the larger values in place of the polarised electrolytic ones too. I'm sure I read that the use of polarised Caps is rarely essential in a 9V pedal circuit.

I get all my polarised electro caps from Dr. Tweek (I usually use the Tangerines), as he stocks the tiny sized ones, which makes life a whole lot easier!
