Hey guys, I am trying to put together a Weener Wah build and I am uncertain if any of these caps are polarized. I bought them in a local surplus shop and none of them were listed as electrolytic, but I'm not familiar with these and wanted to double check that these will work in my build. Also, are any of these junk? If so let me know so don't use them...
Thanks in advance!

You must have figured it out, but they just look like film caps, so they must not be polarized. The top three are polystyrene caps, and they're usually quite good, their only flaw is that they tend to be big, but it's not a problem here.
Yeah, not polarized, but the ones with the stripe on the end usually denotes the outer foil, which is usually not too important in a pedal.

Cool! I was mostly worried about the ones with the stripe. Thanks guys...
The stripe indicates which leg is connected to the outside foil of the cap.
