Building a WOolly Mammoth Clone... Need help!

[Jc575]

I am in the process of building a woolly mammoth clone. I have built a couple of simple builds in the past. I recognize all of the components on this circuitboard except the yellow capacitors. On the parts list, they are labeled as 220n, and 10n capacitors. I am trying to order my parts from Smallbear electronics and there seems to be a ton of capacitors listed. I was hoping that one of you DIY experts can guide me to select the correct capacitor that I need to complete this project.

Thanks in advance!

Dude, you should totally write ZVex.

Which layout are you using? Vero? PCB?

Vero

Here's the vero layout...

So 220n would equal .22uf, and 10n would equal .01uf

[jwr]

I believe that's correct

[KCLRbass]

Here's what I generally use

220nF
10nF

Either that or the green polyester ones.

Great!

One more question:

Are uf and mf the same? I see mf listed on the Smallbear site, but no uf?

Perfect! Exactly what I needed to know! I think I have all I need now. Hopefully, it will fire up on the first try!

Thanks to all!

Just finished doing the same thing.

Sounds great!

Even better when you realise you saved $360

So I have read that you can add a relax/push pot so you can adjust a clone WM for a active bass. I have attached a pic of the ZVEX Mastotron as an example. Any idea where this relax/push pot would go?

For future reference, check this out.

it's an awesome capacitor page.

It would go between the 1/4" input jack and the input point on the vero board at one of the 220n caps.

This is an excellent addition to any Fuzz Face or Tone Bender type fuzz. Useful to get a "cleaned-up sound" out of an active bass. Turning down the volume on a passive bass puts some more resistance into the output of the bass. An active bass always has essentially zero resistance in series with its output.

There's a conversion between nano farad and micro farad. It's not apples and oranges, it's large apple, small apple.
