I think you’re right about that Tesla but it brings up a somewhat interesting point for me.

Since we’re talking about a fuzz or distortion pedal here, how much does it matter and is it really preferable to use hifi parts in an extremely lofi application? If you’re cloning a vintage Big Muff for example, those tended to use the cheapest parts they could get at the time and we tend to believe that many vintage Big Muffs sounded incredibly good.

From my experience I tend to like cheap ceramic capacitors in a Big Muff build
