Description
Tone caps don’t get much attention until you actually swap one, and then suddenly your tone knob feels like a different instrument. This Emerson Custom .047uf 300v Paper In Oil capacitor is built with premium materials specifically to go toe-to-toe with the vintage Sprague Vitamin Q caps that collectors chase down and pay a premium for.
Dropped into your tone circuit, a paper-in-oil cap like this tends to roll off highs more musically than a standard ceramic or film cap, giving you a smoother, less harsh sweep as you dial back the tone control. It’s a favorite among players chasing vintage-correct wiring harnesses or anyone rebuilding a control cavity who wants the details to match the tone.
- Capacitance: .047uf
- Voltage rating: 300v
- Paper in oil construction
- Red/Creme graphics housing
- Comparable to vintage Sprague Vitamin Q capacitors
A small part, sure, but tone caps are exactly the kind of budget-friendly upgrade that punches way above its price. Grab an extra for your parts bin — it’s the kind of thing you’ll want on hand next time you’re elbow-deep in a control cavity.
