Expensive for a cab but good quality
Why spend this much money on a tone cap? After all, any signal that passes through the cap is going straight to ground and will never affect your TONE.
The answer if of course TOLERANCE. And that's the ONLY reason. With cheaper caps the tolerance can loose enough that you won't know what you're actually getting. In some cases a ".022" cap may actually have higher value than a ".047". With these Orange Drops you will at least know what you're installing in your guitar. Apart from that they're no better than any other caps. You can of course find cheaper caps with tight tolerances but if you only need ONE it's hardly worth the hassle of sourcing caps from elsewhere. Drop one of these into the shopping cart and you're good.

Great replacement and/or upgrade
I've feel in love with these, bigger than most of the factory ones, but not has big as a full 600v one, meaning you can still have the looks, and most importantly, the tone, without having to struggle to fit them in smaller electronics cavities.

Yes!
Since over 20 years I am using those capacitors. There are probably better ones, but those are multiple times more expensive. Also, I, personally, cannot hear difference in sound. But many years of playing and recording could damage my hearing :-)
No, seriously. Those are probably THE best capacitors for guitars. Perfect balance of price and quality.

I like Oranges...
If you have those capacitors made in Asia in your guitar, this is deffinetly a must have.
It's not that the others are necessarily bad ( sometimes you get an "interesting" tone that you can use ), but these are really good and you will notice it in your tone and in the useability of your tone pots.
Good for replacement and I deffinetly use them on scratch builds.

It's a high quality part but be aware that it's quite large. Just worth considering if your guitar a shallow-routed cavity.

Very good
I put this cap on my Harley Benton CST - 24. It makes a big difference on the sound. the Neck pu gets more highs now.

Yes you need it
Of course I don't notice the difference but it's there. :)
The guitar sounded great anyway.
This affects just the reaction of the guitar tone knob. I use it on a CTS no-load tone pot on an Explorer type guitar (2 vol 1 tone). The tone pot is usable in all positions. The sound is pleasent and usable throughout the range.
