Members 88mm Posted December 13, 2005 Members Share Posted December 13, 2005 Messing around with my wah (again) I have change the sweep cap a million times. .01 is too bright but .015 is too dark. I have been trying to find something like a .013 or .012 Can I get this value by combining 2 caps? Help me out guys. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shepherdspy Posted December 13, 2005 Members Share Posted December 13, 2005 what is this math class? if my math is correct a .03 cap and a .02 in series will equal .012 of course my math probably isn't correct good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members andreas Posted December 13, 2005 Members Share Posted December 13, 2005 You can also combine two caps in parallel - simply add the values together to get the total. For example, the stock 0.01uF with a 0.0022uF in parallel would get you a 0.012uF (0.0122uF to be exact). /Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members andreas Posted December 14, 2005 Members Share Posted December 14, 2005 Absolutely - capacitance and resistance add up in opposite ways. I have the formulas for calculating parallel resistance and series capacitance, but can never seem to get my head properly around it... So if I can, I prefer to put caps in parallel to create odd values - it's far easier on the brain. Brent - thanks for that link! That's a great tool to have handy./Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
