hi! what happens if those caps are changed to bigger values (f.e. 1mf)? more bass frequencies or nothing?

NOthing good. Imagine the circuit going into slow motion. Bass response stays pretty much the same, but all the oscillation and noise artifacts are way harder to get. We used to have a bunch of bigger caps in there. Also at least 20% of shivas failed all together with those bigger caps.

So, Aen, should I buy all the dwarfcraft DIY kits and make one big fuckin' pedal, or just ask you to do it for me, and give you everything you could ever want and so much more?

Thanks, Aen! I'll stay with original design.
