Re: good caps for guitar?
the first one you see more often.
to be honest its worth the extra dollar or so to at least upgrade to orange drop caps. if not spend a little more for a good pio cap.

Re: good caps for guitar?
The monolithic one. Those little multilayer ceramics are great for pedals because you can get large capacitance value in a miniature package. They sound fine.
