Got fish caps?


What are tropical fish caps ?
They are called "tropical fish" because of the colored stripes that look a bit like a tropical fish. The "tropical fish" are often mixed up with the "bumblebee" caps, but this is simply wrong. You can find the tropical fish caps mostly inside old vintage stompboxes, wah pedals and amps, but they can also be found inside some guitars. I really like these as tone caps because they offer a very fat tone, without turning the tone into mud. These caps are no longer in production. These caps were made by Mullard / Phillips and are film caps. Check my Ebay store for .056 or .01 fish caps:  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380348860223&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT
