I just got quite a lot of them. 1/8 watt small sized metal-film 1% resistors. Originally I ordred 1/4 watt ones, but by mistake they got me a box with a few thousand 1/8 watt resistors of nearly all values. They are sized as a typical 1n4148 diod, too small. So I have to know if I can use them too, or I should send them back and replace a some else type. My favorite area is boosters, overdrives, distortions, and fuzzes.
Thanks .
1/8 watt metal-film resistors. Are they good?

I think for most pedal applications 1/8W resistors are just fine. just my opinion, though.

The max current for a 1K resistor is about 10mA. I'm afraid if that could be too little.
