AC30 Caps
« on: February 21, 2011, 06:28:15 am »
Hi

does anyone know of good replacements for the big, and now unavailable WIMA 0.15uF/630V PI anode coupling caps?

I'm thinking of tonally similar types for them and the other smaller Hunts 500pF anode couplers.

Thanks
Cheers
everything will be ok
in the end.
if it's not ok,
it's not the end.

SoZos Vintage are OK, & will do a good job.

I have stopped being surprised at the guitar player who spends $3,000 on the latest boutique amplifier, and plugs in his Mexican Stratocaster strung with light gauge strings through a Big Muff Pi fuzz pedal.

Thanks Tiny Daddy, but no they are deffo not the same unfortunately. The ones I have in mind are tubular and gold in colour.

Archaos, I'll have a look at the Sozos though. I tried the Orange drops but they may be a bit on the bright side - need to do an A/B test with the original Wimas to be sure.
An More Light to you too!  :smiley:
