I now have a bunch of 0.047uF capacitors so I can build a new loom for my mini p-bass. I went for 400v metallised polyester film. As these are a darker colour than the orange drops I have used in other builds I wonder whether they'll sound any darker?

  ~~400v??? Are you going to be zapping it with lightning bolts?~~ Actually my bad, I only think in pedal measures and 400v would be ridiculous there. I had to read your entry again

  What does "473K" (sic) mean?

  According to the AI thing google answers queries with now: A capacitor labeled "473k" has a value of 0.047 microfarads (µF), which is also equal to 47 nanofarads (nF) or 47,000 picofarads (pF). The "473" part of the code indicates the significant figures (47) and the multiplier (3, meaning 10^3 or 1000), while the "k" denotes a tolerance of ±10%
