I've been consistently using the Orange Drop capacitor in many of my guitars for a simple reason- it works well. This here, is a Panasonic capacitor, known to the soldering dweebs as the 'Gum Drop'. Whatever it's called, I'm looking forward to drop one into one of my guitars soon. Hopefully before the Lunar New Year creeps in.

Any idea which shop will be carrying it in sg?
no idea if it's available here at all... certainly not at guitars stores :-/
There aint much electrical difference between a 22uf cap from panasonic sanya orange or whatever boutique caps out there. Same goes for any other caps for that matter. Tolerance and voltage rating may be critical, but for such a low passive electrical circuit in a guitar, it is close to negligible. What you are hearing are the placebo effects from the snake oil machine.
Default caps in my guitars are mostly ceramic & that's not what I wanna hear coming through the amp hence my poly preference. Going with whatever's available as opposed to dissecting micro differences between brand names.
