Very sweet Pete. That's a heck of a trio though. I heard bass, drums, piano, and guitar. Over dubs? Nit picker Dan Nope, Been blessed to find an older cat who does the bass and piano live on the Triton, he says he learned how to do it playing acid jazz on the B3. I learn from him every time we play...

I had a chance over the weekend to properly record my 5E5A since the "re-cap", in a live trio. This is the amp from the Jupiter Tone caps videos. I'm playing a Les Paul Standard straight in, running a THD Hotplate. Everything I need is at the volume and tone switches of the guitar. Reverb was added ...

I had SBE 715P OD's in there before the Jupiters

I've digested all the placement issue comments the last couple of days, and in the interest of being fair I've decided to redo the "after" part of the first vid. The new vid is also much shorter. Now both takes are from the same camera position , amp settings, signal chain, cables etc. I'll admit th...

Are these capacitors designed by/for specialtyguitars and are there any other dealers? Out of curiosity, has anybody tried the yellow metallized polyester caps by bennic? It's my understanding that Paul developed these caps with Jupiter. You could ask him for yourself :wink: According to Paul: "the...

As you're not having any problems with the 6L6's I have to ask ,are you using pin 1 as a tie to pin 5 for your grid resistors ala Fender? here's a quote from John Templeton on JJ KT-66's The large flat base is just like a 6550 including the metal base ring that is internally connected to pin one. Th...

I am not doubting the value of a cap change but in the Strat clip I think you would notice a bigger change in tone just from the different placement of the amp, i.e. the floor as opposed to camera level. Plus it appears that the second clip (strat w/Jupitor caps) has more volume. Was the amp set ex...

So it was you that did the video huh?
Nice chops!
He's been trying to sell me on those caps and I tried one in one of my strats.
So you used them in the amp for the coupling caps?

Yes I replaced the coupling caps with the Jupiters.

After gigging for two years with my 5E5A build, it wasn't warming up as time went on, like I thought it should have. The highs seamed grainy to me and I wasn't getting the bass response I'd expected from the 15" Alnico Weber speaker. I heard that Jupiter tone caps were designed from reverse engineer...
