Bruce	Re: Showman caps If they are flat color brown with yellow lettering, they probably are they ones most guys think they hate, but, mostly because someone told them they are no good. If you replace ALL of them with O'drops, (I would), you probably will hear a slightly different amp but it will sound very very good too. Any modern polypropylene cap will sound good however, so don't get too hung up on O'drops only. The "dreaded" brown ones are more round and slightly shorter then an O'drop by the way. Bruce
