How about the J113 in substitution?

noob question regarding film caps. How are you deciding to use them and where? Does it matter if I got all film? Also, I mistakenly got a polarized electrolytic for that one large film 1u. guess that won't work. Still getting confused on parts orders.
your clip sounds great

Tonally it won’t make a difference, I usually use ceramic caps for Pf values as the lead spacing on the board is usually smaller but film will be fine, looks like normal 5mm spacing all across this board.
RE: polarized cap...it can be done but I’d need to see the schematics to know the polarity. You can also connect 2 2.2uf caps up to be functionally bipolar. Solder the 2 positive legs together and the 2 negative leads are now your cap legs. Connecting them in this way will give you about 1/4 of the combined capacitance so close enough to 1uf while you wait for the proper cap to arrive

So, I'm curious...what would it cost me to get one of you cats who are actually good at soldering to make me one of these? I break out in hives even looking at that many tiny pieces and I'm just sure I would fuck it ALLLLLLLLLLLL up.

Can you post a pic of your Monson? They make REALLY neat guitars.

Sure! This is the picture from his website...doesn’t look that pristine anymore but I’ve had it for 7-8 years.

there's one up on Reverb

That's a VERY cool guitar. In additional to looking wicked, I can see several features I've built into some of my own guitars: smooth transitions, smallish size and generally very playable. Like a guitar that's just great to hold. How do you like it?

Gah, and it's their Lycantrope model...

Oh man it’s unbeatable for the heavy stuff I like to play. I was worried the pickups might be too hot (BKP Warpigs) for fuzz pedals and such but everything shines through it. Got a 5 way switch with coil splitting and my favourite neck ever (modeled after my old Gibson explorer but 25.5 scale)

And aside from a reflow of solder to the input jack I haven’t had to fix a damn thing on it haha

I'm currently playing a LTD Viper 201 Baritone most of the time. I've been thinking about putting Warpigs in it. Would you recommend them for drop A tuning?
(I've also been thinking about dropping Swamp Thangs into my 2x12. I might be going too far into the "BASS! BASSSS!! BASSSSSS!!!" direction.) ;-P

Not sure I follow the question, the 4.7 and 2.2 are electrolytic and other than that I’ve used film and ceramic 100pf and 30pf ceramic caps (the little yellow ones)
