Cap values for a green ringer

suspiciousminds

I have a couple of capacitors to use in a green ringer clone,
Theyre marked up 47nk100 and 473j100 - am i right in thinking they are both the same value - 47n?
Also a cap marked 104 - is this 100n?

Yep on both counts. :-)

Thanks guys - its a bit of a minefield at times!

Just to bump this thread back from the dead...

I'm thinking of building the Fuzzdog LPB clone, and I know that different cap values affect tone, ie. 100n for LPB, 10n for Treb Boost, 2.2n for screaming bird.

I'd quite like to add in a 2P4T rotary switch to go between different value pairs of caps: 100n for LPB, 10n for Treble and a couple of values in between.

So my question - is there a linear relationship between cap value and the perceived affect of the hi-freq roll off? ie would 55n  SOUND halfway between 100n and 10n? Or would about 40n SOUND more like the halfway mark?
