Al Heeley Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) You will be fine - theres lots of different constructions and sizes from ceramic thru mylar and poly film, different sizes but do the same job (but not on total power rating - since this is passive and the pups punch out a tiny current its not a concern). If you browse on the Guitar Nutz forum where the electronics gurus hang out you can spend a year discussing the merits of differnt cap construction on the tonal qualities imparted. these tiny ceramics tend to be cheap and less accurate in value, maybe +/- 10% of stated value rather than the bigger mylar or orange drops (spragues) which I think are more like +/- 5%. Stick em all on your tone pot and turn the knob - it goes bassier. Hurrah! Edited January 14, 2009 by Al Heeley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
