Title: 4uf capacitor for weener wah2?
Post by: snz728 on November 02, 2013, 08:51:13 PM
Hi,
Could I solders a 3.3uf cap in parallel with a box film cap 680N to get 4uf? 

or do like Brian suggests in docs to get 4.3uf?  Does 4.7uf, 4.3uf, 4uf really make a difference in wah sound?
Thanks for the help.  Just trying to see if I can achieve this from tayda parts.

It will make a difference but it's subtle. The best bet would be to socket the cap and try a few different combinations before you commit. Putting those two in parallel would be fine as well to get close to 4uF.

I've tried it with both 4uf and 4u3 and couldn't tell the difference.
