Blackburn any chance you have the Rubycon V1, V2, cathode bypass caps? I believe the 22uf 25 volt are the same for Liverpool and Express.

Eh, I have a few I pulled from an 80's keyboard, but I wouldn't trust them as far as I can throw them. I'd offer them up but they're in Austin and I'm not.

A lot of people have been down this road only to find that such parts really don't make a difference, like at all. They aren't in the signal path directly and only have an influence on the overall response of the stage, they are not passing signal per se. Even if the caps DID sound better somehow at that time, they're well past their shelf-life now and won't be performing to the same standard regardless! Have fun in your quest for tone but be aware that you are using "expired" parts based on older technology.. The e-caps nowadays work fine and if you can hear a difference, then you truly have a set of golden ears :).

The only Rubys I have are 220uf 63v that are good for the LP/Rocket. If you need those, I have a bunch.
