    Low voltage V High voltage tone caps in Les Paul wiring loom.

    sure: Induction is the opposite of capacitance. This has two direct effects: First any (unwanted but still present ) induction in a cap acts like a notch filter ... so while the purpose of the cap is to pass anything above the cutoff lower frequency the unintended inductance starts to limit the...

    do some reading on something called a tank circuit... https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/alternating-current/chpt-6/parallel-tank-circuit-resonance/ when you have a pickup a capacitor and volume and tone pots set up as a circuit they behave like a tank circuit emphasizing certain...

    Low voltage V High voltage tone caps in Les Paul wiring loom.

    read about capacitor construction... engineers have been working for years to try and reduce ESR and self inductance ... by making caps smaller and the materials thinner ... what we want are big ole buick bumpers ... rolled foil caps ... not the compressed little chicklets ... find a real...

    the bigger the cap physically the better the sound... the bumblebee is the best example
