Electrolytic caps in tube amps, over a period of time, start to leak, loose their tolerance and go bad. It\u2019s just the nature of Electrolytic caps. Sometimes the leaking is actually visible. But Electrolytic caps can look okay and still be faulty. By replacing Electrolytic caps in older pedals you can actually improve the overall effect of that pedal. Honestly I was skeptical until I received an email from a client that was having issues after he modded his Boss BF-2 with one of my kits.\u00a0\u00a0He said the flange effect was barely noticeable.\u00a0\u00a0A couple of weeks later I received another email from the same client.\u00a0\u00a0The client said he had solved the issue by replacing all the Electrolytic caps in his BF-2.\u00a0\u00a0This peaked my interest so I started experimenting.<\/p>\n
I was astonished how some of my older pedals benefited from the cap upgrade!\u00a0\u00a0Noise seemed to be reduced and clarity and presence of the effect were enhanced.\u00a0\u00a0I am now offering these Cap Upgrade Kits for many of the pedals I offer kits for.\u00a0\u00a0In some cases some of these caps are already upgraded in the kits that I offer.\u00a0\u00a0But I am offering kits that replace all the Electrolytic caps for those that have not purchased my kits.\u00a0\u00a0They will benefit from upgrading the Electrolytic caps that I do not replace in my kits.\u00a0\u00a0You\u2019ll find that some of these same caps are already replaced in the kits I offer.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s a win win all around for those that want the maximum benefit when upgrading their pedals.\u00a0\u00a0But I didn\u2019t stop there, when possible I have upgraded these Electrolytics with Metal Film and Tantalum.\u00a0 Not only do these caps have tighter tolerances but they will also last the life of the pedal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
