gergtreble Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) Hi. Im putting the finishing touches to my 2 Humbucker partscaster. I have a question about the capacitor though. Should I use a 0.022uF cap or a 0.047uF cap? With the guitar having humbuckers as opposed to single coils should I be thinking of going with the 47? Or would the 22 do the job? However I AM modding the HB's to be able to be split. So im worrying that the 47 might be too much. Should I stick with the 22? Electronics is not my strongest suit. So any help with this would be apreciated. Thanks in advance. Greg Edited February 7, 2006 by gergtreble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fookgub Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Those are way too big. You must mean 22nF and 47nF. Choose the cap that best suits your needs. The 47nF will sound darker than the 22nF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gergtreble Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) Yes I DO mean nF! See told you I was crap at electronics..... I dont really want it to sound dark. So I guess its the 22? which would be 0.022uF? Edited February 7, 2006 by gergtreble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fookgub Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 The 22nF (yes, that's .022uF) is probably a good bet. You could also buy a few .01uF caps, and just parallel them until you find a value you like. 2 in parallel would be 20nF (.02uF), 3 would be 30nF, and so on...

gergtreble Posted February 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Good idea. Ill throw the .022 in and if that doesnt do the job ill sort out another cap. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
