CHAPTER TIMES STAMPS BELOW.
Tone Truth is a new series from Lollar Pickups where we dive into murky topics that often confuse, confound, and complicate the facts surrounding guitar electronics. The idea is to strip back the fluff and pomp often associated with getting great tone and offer just the basic information needed to help players make educated decisions when choosing the best components for their individual needs.
In this, our first episode, we'll tackle capacitor value to explain how it relates to tone as well as a basic primer on just what role capacitors play in what you actually hear coming out of your amp.
