How to let your ears find the best tone cap for your guitar

Yeah...I got that same email from them.

It's cool...if you need to demo lots and lots of caps, especially for customers...but I've gotten the same effect with a couple of wired alligator clips. No "knob" to turn, but it takes 2 secs to switch caps. :D

I recently did some cap comparisons, as I added small toggle tone cap switches to a few of my guitars. They are separate form the caps that are tied to the tone knobs. It lets me shave some highs with a flip of the switch. They are much smaller caps - picofards - I use a 320 pF and a 560 pF.
One is dialed in for the neck PU and the other for the bridge. They are tied directly to the signal, not the tone knobs.
I still have the tone knobs with their caps, but I rarely use them. The toggle is quicker and it's just the right amount.
