Orange Drop Capacitor by Sprague®

Orange Drop Capacitor Sprague®
Genuine High-Quality Tone Capacitors for Guitar and Bass
These genuine Sprague® Orange Drop capacitors are a trusted choice for guitar and bass tone control upgrades. Whether you're restoring a vintage instrument or modifying your current setup, these capacitors offer reliable performance and excellent tonal response.
A tone capacitor allows you to roll off treble frequencies, gradually warming your tone as you turn the tone knob. The value of the capacitor determines how much treble is removed and how much bass is retained at lower tone settings.
