First post, go gentle on me...

Having some trouble finding 25V caps in sweden. At least for smaller values. Started working on assembling parts but can only find 50V 10uF caps. What difference will it make? Fells silly getting stuck when I only need like 10 parts for doing the Coloursound oneknob Fuzz...

Thanks!

the voltage is a 'maximum' rating so you can use a higher voltage cap since it wont exceed the 'maximum'.
you wouldn't use a 3V cap (do they exist?) in a pedal that may have 9V cos that would exceed the max, but can go larger :D
