Topic: Guitar Capacitors

To make guitar tone better we use capacitors. There are many guitar capacitors available in the market but I found RS gitarworks capacitor are best one for guitars. This capacitors are specially designed for the electric guitar. They are 100% transparent to let every bit of your guitar's natural tone shine through. The main benefit of this caps is that it is very small and are of 100 volt.

Re: Guitar Capacitors

The capacitors in your link are black. Are these the ones you are talking about, and do you post to Australia.

Re: Guitar Capacitors

capacitors are used to modify the sound ..not to make it better
in a passive circuit the capacitor [i%

for some reason my post has screwed up???????????
salient points:
a working voltage of 100v ( or any excessive wv ) is irrelevant in guitar electrics
tolerance is of no consequence ( most 10% capacitors are within 5% in any case )+ the value is subjective
your best natural tone is not to interfere with the p/u o/p in the first place ..ie scrap the tone circuits
but if altering your gits  tone is what you like to do
read this... but... dont be tempted to spend £10 on a filtering capacitor

if you want a really flexible tone control use a 12 way rotary sw and wire 12 caps of different
values( at each pole )...giving a different tonal sounds at each position of the switch

i did this 25 years ago ....my git playing didn't get any better  ( or my sound )
but ...when it came to soldering ...bring it on

Re: Guitar Capacitors

I took Trev Wilkinson's advice and removed mine from my Ruby and you get a much brighter sound. It sort of sounds compressed,

Yet in Annie i have 2, 0.15 Russian paper and oil and they work well.

Imagine if the words of Imagine ever came true.....
