On the schematic and parts list the last heater supply cap C412 is 1uF 50V.  However in the Clarinet and the Cornet2 it is a 100nF (.1uF) 50V.

I realize its a small bypass cap for the really big electrolytics so it doesn't matter as much, but was it intentionally different for the sound or just an accidental change?


Also the schematic lists C102 as a 100nF 50V, but the part list calls it a 1uF 50V.  Both of the other two powersupplies use the 100nF both places.

I got the boards today and I was really impressed with the layout and spacing.  It certainly isn't a cramped design so I'm hoping it flows pretty easy.

Thanks

You can use 0.1uF for either of these locations.  Value is not critical, only the decoupling function of RF.  I use 1uF merely such that there is not as many line items in the parts list.
