I just swapped the greenies for a set of .022 Mustard Capacitors, man what a diff. I found that after installing them into my Burny equipped PAF'S, they were crisper than the paper in oil caps which I have also tried. There was a noticeable difference running through a tube preamp with distortion as well as clean. I highly recommend you give it a go.

I'm taking those greenies out as soon as I can, to be replaced with PIO caps similar to the luxe bumblebees found in '50s Les Pauls. Hopefully it will open up the tone and make my VH-4s sound a bit "less ****" 
:wink: Don't ya mean Sprague Bumblebees on 50's LP's. I always change the caps in all mine except, the early ones like my Flg-90,Rlg-90 and SG75-AY, they all come with oil capacitors. Oil capacitors, should open up the tone quite a bit.Mono said:I'm taking those greenies out as soon as I can, to be replaced with PIO caps similar to the luxe bumblebees found in '50s Les Pauls.

Hmm... not sure what I mean I guess. I've got a pair coming in from Jonesy on the other forum... NOS stuff, with the same capacitance as the 'bees used in 50's LPs. I have never only upgraded caps before, so this is make or break for whether they make a difference or not. It was $17 shipped for the pair, so no real harm done either way
Yeah, If it's those Russian K40Y caps, there pretty similar to bumblebees. I'll also add, there the same caps used to make those Luxe Bumblebee clones, only they don't cost 48.00us a pair. I have some in a OBG. Sound good to me.
