First build attempt

Yep, as Andy said, the caps act as filters. The larger the capacitor value the lower its cut-off frequency. Everything below the cut-off frequency is blocked, everything above it can pass through. Roughly speaking, an 0.022uF cap has its cut-off in the high range whereas an 0.047uF's cut-off is a slightly lower at the top of the mid range. The tone pot controls how much of freq's above the cut-off are allowed to pass to ground.


The simplest solution is to get one of each cap, start with the .022 then go to the .047 if you want a darker tone.

Thanks, I'm not much when it comes to electronics so this is going to be a learning experience for me.
