Dual 33uf or Dual 50uf caps?

Post by massimo » Fri Jun 15, 2012 6:00 pm

Hi, I am gathering info on a plexi 1987 50W build.
I was wondering if it's better dual 33uf caps in the middle of the board or a dual 50+50uf cap on chassis? could be the sound have differents shades?
Which could be the best location to hum's reduction?
many thanks
Massimo

I can't really say about noise reduction, but they do sound different. 50 is tighter, 33 is looser feel, and if you can get away with it 16 is even looser.

I like chassis mounted cans a little better for the added space inside.

Hey, i love your avatar. Nice looking dog!

The more distorted and very loud amps like a little more filtering sometimes.. depends on how and what a guy plays. Most of the 80s rock stuff probably had 50s all around, at least the ones i have do. seems so

I like it all. Different moods..
