Title: capacitor types for a Pastyface/TB Mk III build
Post by: MarkL on January 13, 2019, 04:06:31 AM
I'm preparing to build up this project, and have a bunch of different caps on hand: those brownish-orangish Panasonic types, some 50V dipped ceramic types, and of course a bunch of greenies.  I'd appreciate any thoughts on what each of these types might do for this circuit, or which types to avoid (and, if possible, why). 

I've used greenies in Fuzz Faces and TB Mk II's and they sound good; and I've used dipped ceramics in Rams Head Muff builds and they also sound good.  But I've only ever seen the "higher" quality Panasonic types in the MK III builds...so I just want to make sure I don't make a mistake if the latter is the preferred type to use...

I'd say use the ones that fit best on the PCB.
As long as the values are the same, the sound difference will be small and there's no way to determine which one you like best until you A/B all the choices.
I bought a bunch of panasonics and use them in everything with good results.
