Is there any way to know by looking at these grab bag resistors I got from Futurlec if they're metal film or carbon film?
I just installed a couple 1M resistors in a RangeMaster before reading this:
Should I just assume they're carbon film and replace them now - even before I've finished.
That's the way I'm leaning at the moment. (Just fired up the soldering iron.)

I also added 1M resistors to the input and output to prevent popping with my true bypass arrangement. As RG said in his article about the RangeMaster, you REALLY need to use 1% metal-film resistors for this circuit because they are less prone to noise...and this thing will amplify hiss and hum and anything else that happens to find its way in.
