Title: Merman 22µF caps
Post by: pierre67 on July 07, 2018, 09:10:01 PM
I forgot to include some 22µF low ESR in my last order from Mouser...Can I use regular low profile 22µF instead ?

The low ESR are preferred but regular 22uF will work fine. The Merman is the only klone type build I've used low ESR caps in.

The Merman certainly seems to have had a lot of thought and testing put into the specific cap values used.  I'm building it now and trying to stay within the design parameters, but I did sub regular 22 uf caps on the board instead of using the low ESR caps.

thanks for the answers ! ...but I just put another order so I will wait for those low ESR caps (I'm planning to do some more VFE projects anyway).
Thanks again !!!
