Rob W.	Re: Thanks Rob... Hackster: To figure out SERIES capacitance with 2 capicitors, use the following formula: (C1 x C2)/(C1 + C2) = CTotal So a 40湩 and an 80湩 would make the total 26.7湩. That level would still be too low. As far as the ratings that Fender used for filtering, they usually chose the smallest possible value that they could get away with. So tweaking the filtering up a LITTLE more really is only helping your situation. IMHO Have Fun! Rob W.
