Guitar Tone Capacitors, part 2: How Tone Works, Selecting a Value

www.planetz.com . In part two of this video on tone capacitors, I present a tutorial on how to read cap values, an explanation of how the capacitance and resistance work together as an RC filter in the tone circuit, and some audio examples to help in selecting a useful cap value for a tone circuit. The caps I play through here are all Orange Drop polypropylene caps with values .047uF, .022uF, .01uF, 6800pF, 4700pF, 3300pF and 1000pF. Everything is played on my Epiphone Riviera P93 with Vintage Vibe Guitars P-90 pickups, through my Vox VT30 on the Boutique Clean model, mic'd with a Rode NT1 large diaphragm microphone.
