Here is the layout:

Yeah, perhaps lower values, but others have claimed to use these values with interesting results. Strange.

Okay, one more stupid question:

I added a 9v battery clip. However...the batter is always in use. How do I wire this so it only works when the input jack is in use?

I should add that, in place of the 9v batter clip, I have a DC input instead. NOW, I just added the 9V battery clip. The LED will light up even with no plug in the input AND the pedal does not work with the battery clip installed. :scratch:

My bad, the pedal DOES work with the 9v clip installed, but the battery is being used all the time, even with no plug in the input.

Okay, I officially got everything to work. 9v, cap selector, etc.

For the record 4.7 and 2.2 and even 1 make very little difference, if any at all. Then I tried a .0022uf cap. Awesome. BIG difference. Much less bass with a kind subtle fixed wah effect. I'll try some others later on. This thing is done for now. Thanks for the help!
