Product Description

Fender amps of the ’50s and ’60s have become the benchmark not only for modern guitar amplifier design, but for great tone too. These landmark circuit designs are part of a recipe for terrific tone, and, as with any good recipe, carefully chosen ingredients can turn something already inherently great into something truly magical. Intentional or not, part of the subtle tonal magic and nuance of vintage Fender amps were the everyday capacitors used in them. Yellow Astron caps were used in mid- to late-’50s Fender Tweed amps, and in some early-’60s blonde and brown amps. Made from Kraft paper, tin foil and resin, “Yellows” produce the classic Fender tweed tone in all its glory-smooth highs, fat bass and rich midrange swirl.
