Well took the CS-3 under soldersucker today, and changed all the poly caps, some of the metalfilm ones, and changed the C5 to 680pF, plus the C1 to 33nF.
A few resistors also got changed, will change the rest later when I have the ones I miss.
But it has already made the pedal a great deal more nice, less noise and a rounder more pleasent sound, plus you can now turn the sustain up more without getting that popping it used to have at higher settings.

A bit overkill to use HV capacitors rated at 400V.

I normally use for pedal mods Panasonic metal films rated at 50V or 63V.

Does not matter the slightest as long as it does not go beyond 400:)
It is still just a normal polycap, nothing fancy on the inside, like those real highvoltage things have
Sorry still do not have any clean clips done yet!
