Stew-Mac Wiring Kit Capacitors


I'm putting together a custom JEM with Breed HB's and the ISCV2 Single Coil. I ordered the wiring kit listed in the GC Custom JEM parts list from Stew Mac and noted that it comes with 0.020 uf and a 0.050 uf capacitors. Is there any reason I should NOT use those capacitors on the tone and volume controls and buy 0.022 and 0.047?

Also, if there is a noticeable sound difference between these capacitors, ...can I just buy the 0.022 and 0.047 capacitors from Radio Shack? I would certainly think they would have them, but maybe not.

There shouldn't be that much of a tone difference..... but if you want matching replacements look at this thread too.

Re: Stew-Mac Wiring Kit Capacitors


I dont know the wiring kit... usually volume pot is 250k and tone is 500k one is log the other one linear. the usual value are .022uf and .047uf. the idea is: the higher the value of your capacitor the more treble you cut.
not sure you'll hear a massive difference in between 0.022 and 0.020 though...
