Paper in Oil Capacitor 0.01uF

Give your guitar a tone upgrade - replace those crappy ceramic capacitors with NOS paper in oil capacitors for a smoother, warmer tone.

Premium quality audio capacitor for use in a variety of high end applications - great for hifi and guitar amps. Considered by many to be the capacitor of choice in guitar tone circuits.

 

Specs:

  • New old stock K40Y-9
  • 0.01uF
  • 200v
  • 6mm x 18mm

As a rule of thumb, the higher the cap value, the darker the tone - this low value can be used to brighten your tone. 0.01uF is the stock value found on Fender Jaguars. Also works well with P90s or to brighten up the tone of a neck position humbucker.

The K40Y-9 are high quality paper in oil capacitors. The conductor is made of aluminum foil and the dielectric is oil saturated paper, glass sealed in a metal body. These capacitors provide excellent sonic characteristics, high tolerance is kept within a wide temperature range.


A word of warning: there is a lot of misinformation on the internet about paper in oil capacitors - some people seem to think that just because it is paper in oil it is therefore a great audio capacitor - this is not true!

K40Y-9 are the ones to go for in your guitar. Other types such as the KY42 series (these are the green ones) will not make your guitar sound better.
