What kind of sound? For an aggressive sound, I wouldn't go with Sozos. They're warm, smooth, good for that Free Paul Kossoff tone, but if you're going for the VH sound, they are not defined, kind of muddy, inarticulate.

I'm usually oriented for '70 rock / hard rock sound ...SteadyEddie wrote:What kind of sound? For an aggressive sound, I wouldn't go with Sozos. They're warm, smooth, good for that Free Paul Kossoff tone, but if you're going for the VH sound, they are not defined, kind of muddy, inarticulate.

I always use mustards myself - but that was not the question.........stef wrote:nos mustards then sozo
As for the suggestion that mustard type caps are no good for EVH style, what was in Eddie's amp?

Besides which, Mallories are a whole lot smoother (and frankly have less good stuff going on) than Sozo's in Marshall builds. By a LONG margin.
Mallories are very nice for hi-fi components though, I have found.
