This video is exactly the kind of thing I love about your channel. You're empowering people to find their own tone by experimenting for themselves, instead of just giving your opinion on what is better than what. It inspires me to play around with things instead of just spending money on new guitars whenever I feel dissatisfied with my sound.
Dont say empowering.. that sounds like pc soyboy nonsense..He is teaching you. You are learning.

Maybe you should just rewrite my whole comment so as to not offend your ideology. I'm sure you know what I'm trying to say better than I do.
Damn straight! 👍
I'd bet $10 both of you bitches have beards and can't change a tire.

How did I get into this masculinity contest? I was just trying to be nice to Dylan and say thankyou.
You have demystified the capacitor quandary for many people. I've got an electronics engineering background and you show people the truth and a method for finding what value best suits their personal needs. God bless you brother.
We like your nerdery. It's among the best informed guitar nerdery out there.
Good stuff Dylan! I've learned a ton from watching your channel the past year or so. Thanks for all the work you put in!
I just found this channel and it has immediately become one of my favorite youtube channels. Thanks so much for helping empower people to know what the hell we're doing in a logical and thoughtful way Dylan.
thanks so much man!, Thanks for supporting us at Dylantalkstone.com too!!
This is one of the most useful videos on guitar that I've ever seen on youtube! Thanks Dylan, just what I needed.
I am so happy i found your channel. Its one thing read the information on google , but youve cleared up so many things for me and my friend. Ty
Thank you so much for doing this video! I’ve been having muddy tone on a strat for the longest time and didn’t know what to do to make it sound clearer! Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this vid! I have started making my own amp and was wondering how the different values change the sounds. Most sites and forums try to describe it. That wasnt helping me. Then i found your vid and I GET IT NOW! Thank you! You are awesome!
I do dig the experiments ... science & engineering is up my alley - thanks for the guitar tone tips! Inductive & capacitance reactance is what we hear - many value combinations could be right. I agree it's in the ears not necessarily depending on hard values
In just a few videos you have opened my eyes and answered so many questions I've had since I opened up my very first electric guitar back in 7th grade in 1980. Thank yoiu for making it easy to learn and understand
Hi Dylan, another great video. I am currently rebuilding my first butchered strat back to its original specs and about to solder the electronics.... so this is very helpful for me. I absolutely adore your lightening up some of the myths but they will overlast us all.
Holy cow! I would go so far as to say capacitors alter the tone more than anything else I've heard. The shootouts between woods, frets, necks, body chambers, strings, nuts seldom make such stark changes compared to what I just heard. Amazing stuff.
As a general rule, 20% of a system causes 80% of the output for any machine.
Just as you said, the electronics causes 80% of the sound you hear with an electric guitar. As for the other 20%, the human ear cannot make any distinctions.
First day on your channel, I love it. Thanks. Seriously.
So glad I found your channel. Awesome content. Super informative!
Hi Dylan. this demo is just perfect, straight to the point, simple to follow and makes understanding caps super simple. Thank you for this video and thank you for all the work on your channel dude :-)
Love the video! I really noticed a difference between the 33 and the 47 at zero. Keep it up!
Great video! Answered all of my questions quickly and with audio examples. Long time viewer, new subscriber. :)
Hey Dylan, this video was great!!! It is so liberating to be able to try things out and not have to follow a strict set of rules that other people think are right... Your videos have helped me so much... You definitely have one of the top 10 guitar channels on RUclips... Thanks again for your great content! I'm back again and again for more of this stuff and I've learned so much from you! Stay blessed!
My very first preference on caps is to use audio potentiometers for tone, with linear I feel I have much less control over the turning of the knob. After that in my strats I like .047. Cheers!
I'd love to see you do a guitar build, and explain the "why" of everything you do. What do you check before beginning? Why did you recommend these pickups to the customer? What do less expensive or lower quality builders or factories overlook or skip to build faster/cheaper?
Thanks for your help you always give us great tips! Thank you for taking the time.
Definitely some great information, I will definitely be giving this a try . Thanks man
Thanks! Very helpful in understanding how the caps address overall tone and also how effects the response when you turn it down. About to start my first tel build and plan on using a push pull pot to give me 2 options. probably start with a .015 and a .033. I'll be using a SD Hot Stack in the neck and SD Little 59 HB in the bridge.
Thank you so much for this demonstration, You "Rock" !
You sir are a man ahead of our times and you are breath of fresh air keep up the great work!
Great stuff, love your vids.
Good information goes a long long way. Thanks so much for sharing.
Another great vid! Thx. My Tele is wired with a push/pull 500K tone with .015 & .033. My 335 & 175 have push/pull with .022 & .047. Great tonal variations and allows me to dial it in, with various amps.
New(ish) subscriber and really loving your videos and your no BS approach to guitar tone. Last night I did a bit of experimenting and rewiring of my "fishocaster", partly based on stuff I've learned from you. I measured and changed my master tone pot, switched out the capacitor, and removed the treble bleed. I much prefer the way it sounds now.
Also, really digging the colour and pick guard of that tele. Cheers. 👍 🤘
Thanks for all the great videos and knowledge
Love the way the .015 sounds on that guitar!
Very clear the comparison... thanks for the great job
i was talking with a small business that makes pre wired pot setups for strats and humbuckers... he said they used to go back and forth with customers about capacitors and types. they decided to use .022 for everyone and it seems everyone is happy. i find this interesting because i can hear a definite difference in different cap values.
Thanks for explaining how to experiment, I need to get a kit.
Finally! Someone finally did a valid test with capacitors. Thanks for this video! Great job!
Thank you for making this, Dylan! I just ordered a kit to replace the pots, switch, & jack and it was hard to make a decision on what I wanted. I went for .047 and if I don't like how it sounds, I'll switch it out and see what I like better. 2 legs makes it simple. Even at 10, it had less highs/more low end. Maybe if you had 500k pots on single coils, the .047 might be OK. YMMV
Edit: those were 500k pots? If that settles it lol. Putting the 047 in with my single coils and 500k pots I ordered. I've got some 2 wire humbuckers but I'm not sure I can use them like that.
what a cool way to listen and experiment!
Thanks for sharing your precious tone knowledge Dylan! We tone addicts salute you sir! 🤘💀🎸
Another great video, Dylan.
I’m glad you’re putting up these videos they are really good you also had some pick ups did you send your friend McKnight I’m gonna look into they
really cool experiment! I was struggling with this capacitor sh. with my les paul korea with SeymDuncans Hot road. I tried diff pots and 2 capacitors. I will do this experiment for sure! great insight! thanks!
Great video! On the comment about tone wood....thank you! I believe the tone you get is more dependent on how well the instrument is put together along with good hardware and electronic. A few years ago I played with a friend I have known for thirty years. When I first met him he was playing an SG copy. It sounded soo good. When we last played he still had that same guitar. By then it had become a true relic with real road worn areas. Did I mention this guitar still sounded great. When I looked at some of the areas where the paint was gone I was amazed to see a plywood body. So does the wood in the body make a difference? I would still say yes, but not as much as some would believe. Too many variables such as neck material, strings and how about this. Maybe it’s the driver and not the car. I beat you hand a hello kitty guitar to EVH and you would be amazed.
Very helpful... left me back at conventional choices (.047 for singles) but now I'm confident it's the right choice. I might drop down one notch and test just for kicks, but it looks like the way to go.
Great test! Thanks a lot! Awesome work! It confirms happilly my decision on my first Tele kit-build as a newbie to put 0.15 caps (240-ish pots) with the Fender noiseless N3, and not the generic 0.47 tonekiller!! Thats the tone and pot-action I like!! Yiiipiiayyooo! Keep rolling, Dylan. Request: a vid about difference and pros/cons refering adio vs. linear pots (edit: you did allready, thanks... )
You are doing the Lort's work, Dylan. Thank ya!
What a great video! Thanks!
Thanks for this video. I just placed an order with you for my 94/95 Fender Foto Flame Tele which will be getting SD Vintage Tele pickups, 500K pots and .33 cap. Can't wait to improve the sound! Also a small donation for your videos.
I'm new to your videos and I love your no BS style and common sense approach. This video was helpful as I was wondering if I could have done better with another capacity in my tele than the .33 I just installed. Of all the caps you tested here I liked the .33 best and I love the way my guitar sounds now. I have 250k pots, a hot rail bridge pu and stock neck and the tone is great
Really usefull information! Nice!
This absolutely debunks a continuing internet argument that it doesn’t make a difference in tone which cap you use if the tone knob is on 10. This clearly showed a difference. You really have some awesome vids. Subscribed!!!!!!!
Mygabrielle74
Nope. I can`t hear any differences.
excellent vid! useful empirical goodness. liked & subbed.
awesome video bro! I am glad I found this channel :-)
"It is your guitar!" well said!
Such a cool test
Very good video. This is actual science! Excellent. Thank you very much.
Really great video about this. Wow, the 0.047 cap muffles so much of the brightness out of the tone, especially at 5, 3 and 0 on tone knob. I'm curious what the differences are when playing with some crunch and solos. I have found that the tone of chords can be quite different than that of individual notes during solos, and there are big differences in tone between near the 3rd fret and up around 12-15th frets (which I think is where some guitars come alive). I'm always on the lookout for the "perfect" solo tone.
really helpful thanks.
Yet another great video Dylan, thanks! I'm only just discovering all of these - so late to the party... :)
This was fantastic!
New fav channel. Thanks
Beautiful sound.
love the sound when you place the 33uf cap.very rich sound!!
This is the best demo about capacitors!
It would be interesting to do a demo on 250k, 500k, and 1 Meg pots to a telecaster.
This video made me think about the grease bucket tone configuration. I like what a 0.047 does in the first half of rotation but for next half i started to like what a 0.022 does. I could join 2 caps so to start with .047 and end with a ".022".
I would like to know what a musician should know about connecting his (amps, fx pedals) on a PA for let’s say his/hers first gig. Are there any factors to be considered in terms of safety What are the most common problems that hi/she might face that hi/she need to know how to solve or at least know what is causing them What is the sound enginiar expects of them to know when they do a sound check etc... :-) Forgive me if you have already made a video about this , I really enjoy your videos so far, I find them highly educational, thanks for sharing , keep up the good work!!
Thank you thank you thank you for this demo.
Interesting. Thanks!
Okay Dylan, so you blasted your way into my attention span, talking about not having to follow the "norm" when it comes to using particular pot sizes for this/that/the other. You really started me thinking. You've made me aware the choice on pots and caps completely revolves around my taste. I'm just looking for a starting point. I really dig the '70's - '80's Country sound. Particularly, Waylon Jennings type music. If you could give me a starting point, I could expand from that. Any idea what those guys ran in their Strats and Teles?
Cool video, just stumbled across your channel. I was actually hoping you would’ve included the paper in oil caps too like an Emerson bumblebee and a few of those though.
I like playing with the tone controls since I saw an old interview of Eric Clapton in the 60’s talking about woman tone and I’d been looking for that tone for ages, but I was one of those leave the tone on 10 player🤦♂️ so I gave it a go setting tone on zero or 1 on the neck pickup into a driven amp.
As for tone pots I like to use a logarithmic taper pot because It makes it easier to find and dial in the available tones for me and it’s a cheap hack because they’re the same price as audio taper pots.
Great video , thank you
This is brilliant stuff! I love the way you explain this. So, I’m thinking... in a strat: Neck & middle pick-up single coil, with 250k linnear pot with .220(J or better) cap. Bridge single pick-up 250k linnear pot with .470(J or better) cap. I think that eould really give a lot of tone options.
Very informative short vids.
Please, do 1) lower capacitors like 0.0022-0.01uF 2) 250-1meg Pots on same capacitor, especially all the way down, where in makes bump on cutoff frequency.
Pickup makers don't want us to know what happens when you try tone caps below 10 nF.
Very helpful. Thanks
Thanks Jason
Good stuff 👍 Need to checkout your web shop I just picked up a 66 SG Jr project and need 2 pots and a cap for it They will be controlling a late 50s early 60s dog ear P90 I ordered a Faber wrap around bridge for it as well So that's all I need is control stuff Thanks man you're doing great for the guitar community 👍 Keep it up
Great channel mate you make sense. What setup would you recommend for a creamy neck pickup sound?
this channel rocks, ty
Great video, thanks for sharing :)
Another great DTT vid! But- does it matter which type of cap is used? I have removed the tone pots on a few guitars, and EQ my tone with the amp; but a volume control is a must. Thanks for sharing!
I'm going to rig a .1 and a .022 up to a toggle switch next to my gilmour switch after hearing this. Seems like it'll be a fun little addition to the guitar.
Thanks so much this made me realize Ii want to go brighter with my PIO cap for tele .022 not .033
Love it! I've found that above .022mfd, too much of the usable tone is cut off. I use 0.022s in my strat and 0.015s in my epi les paul.
Love the tele.
Great video 👍🏻
thank you..... great video!
Hi. Would it be difficult to fit a switching dial to allow you to select between all these different capacitors? Certainly wouldn't cost a lot. What type of dial would I buy? Thanks
I use 500 k audio on all my guitars brings single coils to life in my humble opinion. Thanks for the video Dylan good stuff.I judge for myself.
Would be nice to look at the wiring diagram with only one single coil pickup.
if you re making an Esquire, you can do sort of the same thing for the forward position (fixed rolloff). you can change the value and change how the pickup sounds when the pickup selector switch is all the way forward. I did this and was able to make all three positions usable to me because the rolloff was more subtle then if I used the value Fender historically did. the standard value was too muddy a tone to be usable in what I play. I noticed that most of the time I see an Esquire being played they only use 2 of the three positions and maybe that is why.
Well done Dylan!! I'm about to put P90s in a hollowbody that have Humbuckers now, and I think I'll keep the capacitors even if 0,47 is recommended with P90s. I don't want a muddy bass and in your test the tone was useful even with tone control at 0 with the 0.22 but not with the 0,47. Of cause it save me a little soldering if I don't need to replace all electronics in a hollowbody.
Great review 🎶🎸👍
Sup dylan, love your channel. Was trying to see how much your selling the cap testing kit.but it seems there might be something wrong with the link sight..I'm currently looking at all your videos having to do with replacing guitar pots rewiring the circuitry, and I guess Capacitors? Lol thank you for your help.
Wow! Very cool... To me the pots continued to sound progressively warmer/darker... I don't remember what I have in mine. Time to check! Thanks!
Hi Dylan. Love your videos. You've been a great teacher. Straight up and brief. On what I would like to see... how about you wreck some shit. Yeah. Totally trash some gear to test the tolerance. Beat the hell out of some things and tell us what still works. Thanks man! Best wishes, Tony
Great videos informative and positive as well as humerous. Always lighthearted even about nasty comments. Question: tone knob busted, opened it up the pickup wire came off, the pot wasn’t glued on anymore and spun around. The capacitor is soldered to the left side lug not the middle, that’s where the pickup is connected . (Looking at it from the top with the lugs pointing up). Does this matter? It seemed to work okay...Will i blow up the neighbourhood if i solder the pickup to the middle lug? Everything else is same as I’ve seen on vids like yours, just the cap and pickup to tone are soldered reverse. What must i do?
Thanks for the video! Surprise to hear that 500k pot with .015uf cap sounds good on neck pick-up.
Thankyou for doing this....
Nice vid. Wish I saw before redoing my electronics but feel my tone is where I wanted it. I wnet against the "popular" opinion and put 500k vol and tone pots with .33 tone cap. 2 Seymour duncan ssl2's and a 59/hybrid custom humbucker. The range is perfect. It's nice to have a little more treble if I roll it to 10. Usually tone is at 7. The humbucker is definitely hotter than the singles but it works great to crank the guitar volume and switch to the HB for leads to drive the tubes. Little volume rolloff and back to the single coils and nice sweet clean tones ensue.Definitely DON'T use what others say. Experiment and do what sounds right to you!
I believe in the science and theory behind wood tone. In practice, I can't tell a difference and don't care. I like what you say about different pieces of the same type of wood being different. I think it's fun to get exotic sounding wood, that's why my bass is an Ibanez sound gear. It's fun to say it's made from Bubinga.
