Capacitor recommendation and zr tone block help

[Guitarguy418]

So I am in the process of upgrading my guitar. It's an ibanez s series and is going I have dimarzio evoluktions in the bridge and neck with a Duncan cool rails in the middle position. What capacitors should I use? I have listened and whether you agree or not I like the paper in oil capacitors.

Also I need help finding a tone block for my zr trem does anyone know where I can find a good one? Do edge 3 blocks for zr?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Here is my suggestion and to add to you point..."whether people agree or not" these are the capacitors I swear by:

JENSEN Aluminum Foil PAPER IN OIL Guitar Cap .022 uF Capacitor 400v

I call them the soda cans. They are pretty big (not really the size of a soda can) and my tech busts by b@lls whenver I put them in a tiny @ss Explorer cavity.

I love the Jensen's though. Everything is smooth as an Elven Baby's Bottom once you put them in.


Later,

Is that link for one or two? I need two right for volume and tone, also do you recommend treble bleeds and if you do which one? I've seen conflicting opinions on them.

I really like the .047uf Russian K40Y-9 (400V) cap in my S-540LTD. They are warm, open and full sounding (without being dull). Cheap as well lol. Got them in a lot of my other guitars too..

No idea about the block.

Treble bleed? Use Suhr's circuit. That's by far the best, IMO.

It's for 1 standard but if you type 2 in the quantity box instead of 1 you get 2.
