My current Marshall-flavor high-gain amp has a mix of Mallory 150s and CMC Polyester and it sounds great.Roe wrote:No, it was TAD/Mojo who described these as mustard type caps, something that is not accurate. Moreover, these are not even the right choice for modern, high-gain. At least, several other caps work better for high-gain. Mustards can work for high-gain, if you want a british tone without too much brightness. Both Friedman and Larry use mustard type caps for high-gainFourT6and2 wrote:I think the assumption here is that I want something that sounds exactly like a real Mustard cap? Do I?

Would a vintage Mustard cap be the right choice for a modern, high-gain amp?Roe wrote:the mojo/tad are not at all like a mustard, the sound is very different and much brighter
My current modern, high-gain production amps (KSR) has Mallory 150s, and they sound great.
I have Mallory 150s on hand to use. And I purchased some of those Illinois/CDE Metallized Polypropylene to try. The amp will definitely be a hot-rodded Marshall flavor with Jose Master, three-way clipping switch, and dual gains with bright/gain switches. Something with a Cameron voicing maybe... So, that said, what would you recommend?
I don't really like the Sprague 715/716 caps. Which I guess are actually the same type as the IC/CDE now that I look at them. And I don't like SoZo.
So what would you recommend?
