Paper-in-Oil (PIO) capacitors deliver warm, vintage-era tones, ideal for humbucker-equipped guitars. Popularised in the 1950s, they were used in iconic models like Gibsons with Black Beauty and Bumblebee caps. Made with paper and oil sealed in thermoplastic, PIO caps provide smooth treble roll-off and enhanced warmth.

The .047µF value is perfect for humbuckers, balancing lows and taming highs for a full, rich tone. Ideal for vintage restorations or retro-inspired builds, PIO capacitors offer tonal depth and character for players seeking classic sound.

Capacitor

I replaced a 0.02 cap in my pbass. The 0.047 had lead to a stronger top end roll off allowing me to have a good, heavy thud and everything in between. It also sounds sweet.

Great vintage tone

I wanted to try a different cap from the orange drop which is my go to cap. I was surprised when I could hear a tone difference with my fender custom shop Texas specials. To my ears it sounds warmer with a very noticeable tone change. Will definitely be getting another one or experiment with another type.
