fleabag Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Could a lectronix guru ID this tone cap, pretty please? Basically, its not bleeding enough treble off, and i was thinking of replacing it. Which means, could i have a recommendation of which value cap to use ? The pot is an A500k TY !!

fleabag Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 A little extra reading seems to indicate that 473 just means yer bog standard 0.47uf ? So, i'm guessing, but i may try a 0.83uf or 0.10uf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandad Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) K = 10% tolerance. 473 = 47000pF = 47nF = 0.047uF Try a 0.1uF = 104 Edited February 16, 2020 by grandad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I’m no expert but I’ve just fitted a kiogon loom and I asked John for more bass and less treble and he fitted a, 0.1 uF cap , which sounds great, I still get treble but it’s not as bright, hope this helps FB ☝️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Cheat I'll try CPC Farnell - they have millions of bits of electronics, including a monstrous amount of caps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 I forgot about Rapid, but have now got what i want from CPC. I had to order 5 of the 01.uf caps , because they were only 5p each Strangely, they had no 0.083uf caps, so ordered a 0.068uf, and that on its own was £1.07p ... weird price difference 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
