Ive got an old foxx fuzz / wah all i need is the correct UF and voltage FOR THE ONLY 2 FILM CAPS I HAVE ON IT( SEE PICS) IVE GOT THE ELECTROLITIC CAPS COVERED ALL I NEED IS THE film CAPS. please help PS TRYED TO DOWNLOAD PIC IT SAID 2 MB TOO MUCH WHATEVER !!! SOMEBODY TELL ME ALL THE FILM CAP VALUES ON A 71 OR 72 FOX FUZZ /WAH IF YOU CAN THXS

I did a Google search for "foxx fuzz wah" and a schematic with component values is the second image found. That might be what you need

Looking at the schematic, there are only a few non polarized caps .. but there are definitely two 100n that are specified "film" there

Not seeing any pics.

I think the fuzz portion is the Tone Machine...



And the wah portion is....

NSFW: show

Can't guarantee those are 100% accurate schematics but should give you the cap values you need.

thankyou so much im a novice and i put in some 1 uf caps but i just got the pedal to give volume when i hooked it up i have all the electrolitic caps on me to replace BUT do i need a higher voltage 1 uf film cap to make it work? im sorry but i dont know the voltage of the 1 uf greenies i put in but it did make a differance ( ie volume on pedal when engaged ) any ideas

That's the schematic I was looking at and you can see the top portion is the fuzz part.. there's a couple of 100n labeled as film.

1uf is big for a greeny, I don't think Ive ever seen one - are you sure you've got the right value?
Just to be clear, the voltage marked on a cap is a guide for its maximum voltage handling (that's probably a crude definition, I'm no expert). It's unlikely your caps will be rated for a voltage lower than what you've got in that circuit.
To help us help you, can you try to ask a more focussed question and write a little more clearly?

I agree. It's probably 0.1uf or 100nf. The schematic I posted a link to shows 2x100nf films. You can get those in a green film package easily, though I find in a fuzz circuit monolithic or ceramic are just fine imo. If you're going for period correct then use a green 104 and you're done
