TESTED & CERTIFIED
WITHIN ORIGINAL
ASTRON FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS…
In a nutshell,
a capacitor is an electrical/ electronic device that
s
tores energy
(E=mc2) in the electric field between a pair of conductors (called plates). The process of storing energy in the capacitor is known as charging, and involves electric charges of
equal magnitude but opposite polarity
building up on each plate.
Capacitors are often used in electrical and electronic circuits as energy-storage devices. They can also be used to differentiate between high-frequency and low-frequency signals. This
property
makes them
useful
in electronic filters, and that’s exactly what we use them for in our guitars and amps,
to replicate TWEED tone.
Basically, our passive TubeMuseum Certified Astron tone control cap can be used to dampen the high frequencies. When you close the tone pot, it rolls off the treble response, resulting in
a more mellow “women” tone.
Adjusting this control affects the sound
very noticeably,
but it’s still recognizably the same guitar. As a basic rule, you could say the bigger the cap, the darker the tone, the middle 0.0XX. the more “woman tone!  You can either achieve this tone, in a
,000.00+ Fender Tweed Amp
or noticeably to an extent in your Fender Amp Mod or
ASTRON Guitar Mod!
Depending on the cap’s value, or capacitance, the effect can go from slightly warmer (2200–6800pF)
to a “woman tone” (0.01–0.047uF)
up to completely dark (0.1uF and higher). Another thing to remember is that the tone cap is always part of the circuit and
even influences the guitar’s tone
when the tone pot is left fully open—that’s the reason the tone cap is such an important part of the sound.
The so-called
"replicas"
are not the same - they are
“cheap imposters”.
They're just marketing on the
uninformed, inexperienced, GREEN convienience buyer.
None of the replicas have the same
internal construction or dielectrics
as the
original 1950’s-1960’s Astros,
period!

HOLY Fender Amps
of the '50s and '60s have become the
benchmark
not only for modern BOUTIQUE guitar amplifier design, but for
GREAT “TO DIE FOR” TONE
too. These
ASTRON landmark circuit designs are part of a recipe for
terrific woman tone
,
and, as with any good sonic tone recipe, carefully chosen ingredients from the Tube Museum, can turn something already inherently great or with potential into
something
“ASTRON”
truly magical, transcending, and ethereal - otherworldly, or too perfect for this world.
Intentional or not, part of the
subtle tonal magic and nuance of vintage Fender amps and guitars
were the everyday ASTRON capacitors used in them.
Yellow / Mustard
Astron caps were used in mid- to late-'50s Fender Tweed amps
, and in some early-'60s blonde and brown amps,
… INCLUDING (but not limited to) the
1950’s FENDER CHAMP 5F1 TWEED HOLY-GRAIL.
Made from kraft paper, tin foil and resin,
ASTRON ”Yellows"
produce the classic Fender “TO DIE FOR” tweed tone in all its glory - creamy WOMAN smooth highs, rich fat bass and liquid midrange swirl are signature of the ’50s-era Original Fender "Yellow Astron" amplifier / guitar tone capacitors
Original Astron 1950’s -’60’s
Pre-Tested TubeMuseum CERTIFIED TRUE
original caps with zero (0) leakage.
Great for vintage restoration,
modification or new 1950's-60's TWEED amp-builds.
Mix-and-matchable - 2 x .5 in a circuit = .10 equivalent!  You can “gang” them to achieve a different uF!
