What can one do with 1/4W 33k Iskras? Marshall amps needs 1/2w or higher right?

I have hundreds, or even thousands, of .25w CCs. I guess we can build a lot of pedals

Tone stack!

is it safe to use .25w CCs in the tone stack?

An Iskra is carbon film not carbon comp and, yes I believe so.

Are you sure about this? I don't want to buy a couple hundred of these only to find out I can't use them in a Marshall clone. That would piss me off! I could use a few in wahs and FF clones but that is it.

I personally prefer an AB NOS CC there (the 1/2 watt from the store

).

To make sure you need to check the voltage drop across an amp when running and work out the dissipation.
