    Capacitors Values, an insight for numpties like me.

    As I had no real idea about what the caps in the tone circit realy did, I found this pretty usefull.

    Yep, all the capacitor is doing in a guitar is acting as what's called a Low-Pass filter, the value of the cap in conjunction with the tone control setting, will determine when the tone control circuit will start affecting the signal coming from the guitar's pickups, so, if you make the capacitor bigger in value it will start affecting the signal sooner and vice versa.
