Members Reaxis Posted August 3, 2006 Members Share Posted August 3, 2006 i want to modify a pedal.. i have the regular film 1uf cap... or a huge metalized 1 uf cap. i think i read keeley uses metalized to prevent noise? i dont know.. does it even matter? thanks!

Members Pilot Posted August 9, 2006 Members Share Posted August 9, 2006 The main difference between the two, apart from price, is the ability to withstand high voltages with fast rise times. The regular film can withstand higher voltages in excess of the working voltage, whereas the metallised film is often self healing in cases of punch through. Other than that there's not much to choose between them. Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
