Audio Capacitors do have polarity!!! (IMO)

 Do audio capacitors have polarity???  I guess so!!!

 

Experiment all kind of caps and test the polarity when you mod a guitar (tone control) or a pedal, this worth a value so much. The sound changes, depending on the capacitor type and the polarity you use. In the mods is important to try out any capacitor, with the value desired, that you own, even if it is the same type. It is cheap, so buy a lot of then. Building tube amps, I prefer the orange drop and the PIO capacitors.

* I have used a strat with a 500k volume pot at the tests, to listen the highs easiest.

** I have used some tests described in internet too, as the noise test connecting the capacitor in the input of a simple guitar amp (with a help of a power AC cord near of the capacitor to generate noise).
