The first Panasonic Gum Drop capacitor I bought (initially mentioned here: CLICK) went into my Ibanez RG331M. As seen above, the installation was expertly handled by Master Beez, who had it on board, together with a new push-pull coil split switch, in no later than 6min.
I also gave my RG331M a fresh set of Dean Markley HELIX .009s & it felt great, as usual.
When it comes to objective comparisons between brand names, performance is marginal when the products in question are manifesting identical ingredients. Such is the case of Panasonic's capacitor featured here compared to its Sprague's Orange Drop counterpart. There would be more audible differences if this comparison was about switching from a PIO or ceramic capacitor to a poly unit. No love lost, though, the Gum Drop is an impressive performer, on par with what the Orange Drop has to offer.
