Paper in Oil Capacitor 0.033uF

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
  • 0.033uF
  • 200v
  • 21mm x 8mm

Can be used with either humbucker or single coil equipped guitars.

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.


Listing is for 1 capacitor

See my other listings for other values.

I also sell the following values:

0.01uF   used in Fender Jaguars for example

0.015uF   for that 'woman' tone

0.022uF   400v version - much smaller (8mm x 21mm) than the 1000v version - best choice where you have limited space in your control cavity

0.022uF   1000v version - same great tone for less money than the 400v but bigger physical size (10mm x 36mm)

0.047uF   typical single coil value

0.068uF   typically used with single coils

0.1uF   the value found in vintage strats, also a favourite with players like Danny Gatton for wah type tone sweeps
