I just put Vitamin Q .022 and Goodall .047 caps in my strat. They replaced Jensen PIO caps of the same values. Vitamin Q/Goodall sound tighter. I'll keep them in there for a while, but I'm not sure which one I like better on this strat.

I have a treble booster which I modified. I put .01uf Mullard output cap and switchable .01 and .0068uf input caps. It sounded so good that I bought another one. I got the 2nd one yesterday. I put Vitamin Q caps (same values) this time, and it sounds tighter than the Mullard caps. Mullards sound more airly. It could be the difference in the germaniums, too. They're both NK275, but each germanium sounds different.

I may try bublebees in the treble booster, and see how they sound. I have a feeling mixing Mullard and VitaminQ will sound good in the treble booster.
