Awesome Tone!
I have an old Chinese made Ibanez Artcore Semi-Hollow Body I've enjoyed playing for about 15 years now. While the guitar itself is very well made and fun to play, it has always sounded just bit like a tin can - until now. A month ago one of the volume potentiometers broke. I decided to replace all four pots along with the tone capacitors. I can't say enough about the sound quality of this guitar now. I would put it up against any Gibson, Epiphone, or Guild of the same size. These caps (along with the Jim Dunlop pots) have really changed the sound of the guitar. It has a much fatter and smoother sound. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!

Used as stereo bypass filters
Used as bypass filters on power supply capacitors in a stereos amplifier. It worked quite well. Cleaned up the high end and slightly into the upper midrange. Made sound stage more detailed and quiet. Thats what I was looking to do. Sounded better after about 75 hours of burn in time.

Well made Orange Drops
Installed in my 2008 Les Paul Standard, they work exactly as they should. They’re a little big so if you don’t have the cavity space you may want to get the 200v as they seem smaller

Sound great! Best caps for humbuckers.
Replaced the .047 200v caps, which seemed to dark ( even with pots on full), with these. Brought back the perfect amount on sparkle. Highly recommended. 👍

Good stuff
Good stuff, never really understood why capacitors, specifically orange sprague caps were so much more costly than other brands or unnamed ones. They're good quality, but paying that much for 2 is kind of strange. Could get a pack for less, but these are the orange sprague caps, they're good at what they do, sometimes overkill for things I want to do. Just know if you're installing these in a guitar, make sure you have enough space, because these are pretty huge, they're about as wide as a CTS pot. Cheapest ones I could find on the market too, so win win I guess.

LOS TONOS EN MI GUITARRA SE SIENTEN Y CONTROLA MEJOR
Bien, quiero antes de comentar para los que lean esto que fué lo que hice. Tengo una guitarra Schecter Signature Pete Dean de la primera serie,la guitarra me atrajó desde que la ví y la adquirí. en general es comoda y me gustó mucho desde el principio, sin embargo después de trajinar con ella un tiempo empecé a sentir sus defectos, primero ruidosa a morir, es decir tenía que tener el volumen de los potenciometros de la guitarra al máxmo para que no sintiera el ruido deseperante como de interferencia, si lo bajaba o trataba de tenerlos en algo menos del máximo era desesperante, la parte del tono tampoco me convencía, a vaces me era mejor para apreciar el control de tono, tenerla configurada con las pastillas ó micrófonos sencillos, pese a que sus microfonos son Hambucker de Duncan Desing (Si, no son Seymour Duncan). Ok, lo cierto es qué dicidí realizarle una mejora significativa a mi guitarra, adquirí Potencimetros CTS Push Pull 500 K (Para el control de Tono y Pastillas), potenciometros Seymour Duncan (Volumen), condensadores Orange Drop 022uf/400v (Para el control de tono) y cinta de cobre. El resultado, mi guitarra es otra, mejoró un 100 por cierto (ó más) y menciono también esto con respecto a la Guitarra, venía con componentes que deja mucho que desear (Señores de Schecter Guitar). Apantalle mi guitarra, ruido fuera, cambié los contrles de tono y sea en pocición full o sencilla, los micrófonos pese a ser Duncan Desing dan de qué hablar en el buen sentido, y el control de volumen con lo Seymour Duncan, como mantequilla.

A Big change in sound & looks
These are brand new, The price is right and shipping time is superb. I installed these in my Les Paul style guitar. They are 3 times the size of the little green stock capacitors that were attached to my tones potentiometers. Installation was very easy, the legs which I had to cut, are long enough to reach top of pot ground, down to one side connector. I did not connect to the middle pot connector. I followed the format of the stock capacitors. I have seen in some forums where commentators are saying there is no difference with "Caps" connected. Well I disagree with this argument because my amp settings never changed and after installing nut, pickups, Caps, bridge and new strings, the sound from the amplifier is much clearer and adjustments are noticeable, unlike with the little green stock caps. I am pleased that I bought these, and is very satisfied.

Drop it likes it hot
These orange drops are the best! Just as easy to install as any other capacitor. Soldering required. These really help balance out your sound and eliminate unnecessary noise. Excellent fit for almost any Bass.
