b. Film Capacitors: There are 3 film capacitors in the Quaverato. The two green film caps are
22nF (.022uF) in value and labeled “2A 223 J” (30). The red cap is 100nF (.1uF) in value
and labeled “104J” (31). These caps are not polarized; the leads can go into either hole.

i. Place the green 22nF caps (C2, C3) in their locations (32) and bend out the leads.
ii. Place the red 100nF cap (C1) in its place (33) and bend out its leads.

c. Electrolytic Capacitors: There is one 1uF cap (C4), one 10uF cap (C15), and one
220uF cap (C14). You can read their values on their casings. Electrolytic capacitors ARE
POLARIZED: there is a right way and a wrong way to install them. If you get it wrong, your
pedal will not work and the capacitor might burst. The white stripe on the case indicates the
side of the cap with the shorter, negative lead (27). The longer lead is positive. The longer,
positive lead goes into the hole with square pad; the shorter, negative, white-stripe lead goes
into the hole with the round pad.
