.0012uf 600V / 6PS-D12 Orange Drop - Amp & Guitar Tone Capacitor.

Premium Components - Cornell Dubilier (CDE) Orange Drop® Capacitors

This capacitor value was first used as a "treble bleed" in the 1990s when Australian luthier Chris Kinman began using a 1200pF (.0012uf) capacitor and a 130k ohm resistor in series to enable him to maintain high tones at low volumes on his guitars.

This configuration is considered by many to be the best of the three populaire versions, as it seems to solve the problem of the volume pot tapering and the tight sound. Even Fender uses it now. Their system uses a 1000 pF capacitor and a 130k-ohm resistor, and is nicknamed the Fender Tone Saver.

Treble Bleed values vary depending on the tone you are looking for... So if you are an avid guitarist looking for your sound and tone, here are the different combinations you should try, (from 470 pF to 1500 pF for the capacitor) and (100k-ohm to 330k-ohm for the resistor).

Capacitance: .0012uF
Maximum Voltage: 600V
Tolerance: ±3% to ±10%
Series: PS
Material: Polypropylene Film

Width: 0.63" = 5/8" = 16.00mm
Height: 0.25" = 1/4" = 6.35mm
Depth: 0.25" = 1/4" = 6.35mm
Lead Length: 1.95" = 50mm
Lead Spacing: .50" = 12.70mm

Sprague capacitors have been around for over 50 years and are especially known for their tight tolerances, reliability and excellent tone.

Orange Drop 6PS series polypropylene film capacitors.

These capacitors are very commonly used by technicians who repair vintage amplifiers, such as Fender, Ampeg, Magnatone, Marshall, Valco, Vox, Traynor and many other brands.

They are also commonly used by guitarists looking for a vintage 60's sound on their Fender or Gibson guitar, as well as audiophiles for HI-FI systems, vintage radios, tube amps, etc.

Rated at 600 volts, they are made from polyester film, single section design, non-inductive winding with extended foil.

Features: Long history of proven reliability - Low dissipation factor - Excellent stability, virtually linear temperature coefficient, making them excellent capacitors for upgrades or replacements in guitars, amplifiers or effects pedals.
