You have demystified the capacitor quandary for many people. I've got an electronics engineering background and you show people the truth and a method for finding what value best suits their personal needs. God bless you brother.

@notanotherguitarchannel 4 года назад

This video is exactly the kind of thing I love about your channel. You're empowering people to find their own tone by experimenting for themselves, instead of just giving your opinion on what is better than what. It inspires me to play around with things instead of just spending money on new guitars whenever I feel dissatisfied with my sound.

@laguanhayes214 4 года назад

Holy cow! I would go so far as to say capacitors alter the tone more than anything else I've heard. The shootouts between woods, frets, necks, body chambers, strings, nuts seldom make such stark changes compared to what I just heard. Amazing stuff.

@billcaruso7050 Год назад

As a general rule, 20% of a system causes 80% of the output for any machine. Just as you said, the electronics causes 80% of the sound you hear with an electric guitar. As for the other 20%, the human ear cannot make any distinctions.

Thanks! Very helpful in understanding how the caps address overall tone and also how effects the response when you turn it down. About to start my first tel build and plan on using a push pull pot to give me 2 options. probably start with a .015 and a .033. I'll be using a SD Hot Stack in the neck and SD Little 59 HB in the bridge.

New(ish) subscriber and really loving your videos and your no BS approach to guitar tone. Last night I did a bit of experimenting and rewiring of my "fishocaster", partly based on stuff I've learned from you. I measured and changed my master tone pot, switched out the capacitor, and removed the treble bleed. I much prefer the way it sounds now. Also, really digging the colour and pick guard of that tele. Cheers. 👍 🤘

My very first preference on caps is to use audio potentiometers for tone, with linear I feel I have much less control over the turning of the knob. After that in my strats I like .047. Cheers!

Thats the tone and pot-action I like!! Yiiipiiayyooo! Keep rolling, Dylan. Request: a vid about difference and pros/cons refering adio vs. linear pots (edit: you did allready, thanks... )

This is the best demo about capacitors! It would be interesting to do a demo on 250k, 500k, and 1 Meg pots to a telecaster.

@blazer6248 4 года назад

Thank you for making this, Dylan! I just ordered a kit to replace the pots, switch, & jack and it was hard to make a decision on what I wanted. I went for .047 and if I don't like how it sounds, I'll switch it out and see what I like better. 2 legs makes it simple. Even at 10, it had less highs/more low end. Maybe if you had 500k pots on single coils, the .047 might be OK. YMMV Edit: those were 500k pots? If that settles it lol. Putting the 047 in with my single coils and 500k pots I ordered. I've got some 2 wire humbuckers but I'm not sure I can use them like that.

@johnmagee8195 Год назад

Really great video about this. Wow, the 0.047 cap muffles so much of the brightness out of the tone, especially at 5, 3 and 0 on tone knob. I'm curious what the differences are when playing with some crunch and solos. I have found that the tone of chords can be quite different than that of individual notes during solos, and there are big differences in tone between near the 3rd fret and up around 12-15th frets (which I think is where some guitars come alive). I'm always on the lookout for the "perfect" solo tone.

@barecoil 5 лет назад

This video made me think about the grease bucket tone configuration. I like what a 0.047 does in the first half of rotation but for next half i started to like what a 0.022 does. I could join 2 caps so to start with .047 and end with a ".022".

@lvanteale4679 Год назад

@davidjenkins899 4 года назад

Great video! On the comment about tone wood....thank you! I believe the tone you get is more dependent on how well the instrument is put together along with good hardware and electronic. A few years ago I played with a friend I have known for thirty years. When I first met him he was playing an SG copy. It sounded soo good. When we last played he still had that same guitar. By then it had become a true relic with real road worn areas. Did I mention this guitar still sounded great. When I looked at some of the areas where the paint was gone I was amazed to see a plywood body. So does the wood in the body make a difference? I would still say yes, but not as much as some would believe. Too many variables such as neck material, strings and how about this. Maybe it’s the driver and not the car. I beat you hand a hello kitty guitar to EVH and you would be amazed.

Hi Dylan. This was a fascinating presentation talking tone about capacitors. Just FYI the link to the capacitor testing kit is dead at the mo.

@SlavaGen 5 лет назад

Very informative short vids. Please, do 1) lower capacitors like 0.0022-0.01uF 2) 250-1meg Pots on same capacitor, especially all the way down, where in makes bump on cutoff frequency.

@kmcel190 3 года назад

@MaartenAnna 3 года назад

This is brilliant stuff! I love the way you explain this. So, I’m thinking... in a strat: Neck & middle pick-up single coil, with 250k linnear pot with .220(J or better) cap. Bridge single pick-up 250k linnear pot with .470(J or better) cap. I think that eould really give a lot of tone options.

@michaelwallace1189 2 года назад

Hi Dylan. I have been building my firs guitar and I'm getting close to wiring. I bought a humbucker sized p90 and an overwound PAF and I want to experiment with caps. This video is great. I thought the .015 sounded better than any of the others. Everything else seemed to lose volume and the chime of the highs. I'll definitely be trying this. Is the other end of your gator harness just two clips as well? What's it look like inside the guitar?

@sid35gb 4 года назад

I like playing with the tone controls since I saw an old interview of Eric Clapton in the 60’s talking about woman tone and I’d been looking for that tone for ages, but I was one of those leave the tone on 10 player🤦‍♂️ so I gave it a go setting tone on zero or 1 on the neck pickup into a driven amp. As for tone pots I like to use a logarithmic taper pot because It makes it easier to find and dial in the available tones for me and it’s a cheap hack because they’re the same price as audio taper pots.
