Tone Capacitors
Tone capacitors for guitar — Orange Drop, Mylar film and ceramic — plus a treble-bleed network.
CPTN06 — Orange Drop Tone Capacitors
Orange Drop capacitors — widely accepted as the best caps for guitar tone circuits.
Often offered at rip-off prices elsewhere — we carry four classic values at sensible money.

CPTN03 — Mylar Film Tone Capacitors
Mylar film tone caps — preferred by many over standard ceramic.
Two classic values: .022 µF (humbuckers) or .047 µF (single coils).
£0.75 inc. VAT · Single Mylar tone capacitor
- Type
- Mylar film tone capacitor
- Values
- .022 µF · .047 µF

CPTN01 — Ceramic Tone Capacitors
Standard ceramic tone caps — the budget choice.
