Capacitor Value Guide

Each value below represents a different tonal shaping application. The higher the capacitance, the more treble is rolled off:

• 0.001μF (102): Common Treble Bleed capacitor

• 0.01μF (103): Brightest tone, minimal roll-off

• 0.022μF (223): Typical for humbuckers, classic tone cap

• 0.033μF (333): Experimental or in-between mod option

• 0.047μF (473): Commonly used in single-coil setups

• 0.1μF (104): Darker tone with heavier roll-off; often used in Greasebucket-style mods

Perfect For

• Tone control upgrades

• Treble bleed circuits

• Precision tone shaping

• Vintage guitar restorations

• Custom electronics builds

Notes

• Capacitor dimensions may vary slightly based on value

• Soldering required for installation

• Use with tone pots or volume treble-bleed circuits
