Brutus	Re: FS: Jensen foil/oil/film caps for tweed deluxe What brand of polystyrene cap did you try Bruce. I tried Polystyrenes by MIT and they were way too weird sounding for guitar. I used them before for hifi amps and they worked well. But in my guitar amp they made the tone sound like I was plugged into a cheap JVC SS stereo system. The highs were simply too detailed to keep your attention off the strange sound. Not smooth at all. So, is there another brand of polystyrene more useful? Brutus

What brand of polystyrene cap did you try Bruce. I tried Polystyrenes by MIT and they were way too weird sounding for guitar. I used them before for hifi amps and they worked well. But in my guitar amp they made the tone sound like I was plugged into a cheap JVC SS stereo system. The highs were simply too detailed to keep your attention off the strange sound.
