Hi,

I'm the kind of guy that likes to use silver mica caps for when possible for anything directly tone related. But I was looking at the sunking schematic, and to the best of my knowledge, it seems it would be a waste to use silver mica for C8 and C13....wouldn't it ?

Well, they do shape the high frequency response for those two opamp gain stages as well as providing stability, so I'd say, yes, they are tone related.

Thanks, I didn't know that.

Either mica or film would be just fine there. I can't recall exactly what the stock unit used, but I think it was Mica. In fact, Mica is all I've ever used for those two spots.

Mica it is then !
Thanks guys
