Expensive for a cab but good quality
TERD 23.09.2022
Why spend this much money on a tone cap? After all, any signal that passes through the cap is going straight to ground and will never affect your TONE.

The answer if of course TOLERANCE. And that's the ONLY reason. With cheaper caps the tolerance can loose enough that you won't know what you're actually getting. In some cases a ".022" cap may actually have higher value than a ".047". With these Orange Drops you will at least know what you're installing in your guitar. Apart from that they're no better than any other caps. You can of course find cheaper caps with tight tolerances but if you only need ONE it's hardly worth the hassle of sourcing caps from elsewhere. Drop one of these into the shopping cart and you're good.

Great replacement and/or upgrade

I've feel in love with these, bigger than most of the factory ones, but not has big as a full 600v one, meaning you can still have the looks, and most importantly, the tone, without having to struggle to fit them in smaller electronics cavities.

Yes!

Since over 20 years I am using those capacitors. There are probably better ones, but those are multiple times more expensive. Also, I, personally, cannot hear difference in sound. But many years of playing and recording could damage my hearing :-)

No, seriously. Those are probably THE best capacitors for guitars. Perfect balance of price and quality.

I like Oranges...
Small Shed Luthier 17.01.2022
If you have those capacitors made in Asia in your guitar, this is deffinetly a must have.
It's not that the others are necessarily bad ( sometimes you get an "interesting" tone that you can use ), but these are really good and you will notice it in your tone and in the useability of your tone pots.
Good for replacement and I deffinetly use them on scratch builds.
