SLO100 Capacitor Question

CraigD	SLO100 Capacitor Question Hello all, I am preparing to build a SLO clone and would like to know the actuil type of Mallory caps used in a real SLO100. THIS NEXT QUESTION IS NOT INTENDED TO START A FLAME WAR...but probably will... I know the small value caps are ceramic. Are ceramics essential for the correct sound or can I use mica or polystyrene in place of these? Does the type make much difference? They are not used in too many places throughout the circuit. Thanks everyone CraigD

SLO100 Capacitor Question

Hello all,

I am preparing to build a SLO clone and would like to know the actuil type of Mallory caps used in a real SLO100.

THIS NEXT QUESTION IS NOT INTENDED TO START A FLAME WAR...but probably will...

I know the small value caps are ceramic. Are ceramics essential for the correct sound or can I use mica or polystyrene in place of these? Does the type make much difference? They are not used in too many places throughout the circuit.

Thanks everyone
