Which a capacitor do I need ??

[RodrigoCamiruaga]

Hi guys, first time making upgrades to my guitar.

New Pickup configuration:
Bridge: JB Trembucker
Middle: custom stack s6
Neck: JB JR. For strat

Guitar configuration:
s/s/h
5 way switch
1 vol
2 tones
Floyd Rose tremolo

Already went through wire configuration on the web, but ssh is not possible, so the only way possible was considering stratos configuration, with single coil in the three pick ups and repeating the humBucker single coil sized for the bridge. Software delivered a very logical wire connection, but my big doubt is if the cap recommended is right (0.022), considering the pick up configuration, basically because of the JB Trembucker wish usually uses 0,047

Hope someone can give an orientation on that

Thanks

22nf is the best starting point imo. It makes it pretty much as bassy as you'd ever need turned all the way down. From there you could go darker ->47nf or brighter if you want.

Thanks Clint
So basically there is no danger of damage between the different caps.?

This is the wire diagram recommended, with the 22nf

No, a cap won't hurt anything.

Agree. .022uf for buckers, especially the single size. I seriously doubt if you'll want to go with a higher value, such as a .047uf.

(Just so you don't get confused..."22nf" (nano farad) is the same value as ".022uf" (micro farad). On the cap it should say "223".

You realize you have an HHH configuration, not an HSS, right?

Thanks guitar doc, yes I know the equivalence between nano and micro fardas

Didn’t know the stack plus was a humBucker like too as the JB Jr.
