Im building the sIII boost into my plexi...ive got a couple of different caps i could use, but thought i would ask what others used...

Ive got a 10, 25, and 50uF cap that i could put in... The paperwork provided says that the higher the cap, the dirtier the boost

Im going this route for a little more dirt...but not sure where to draw the line

Im going for classic rock sounds such as ZZ, Lizzy, Joe walsh

Higher the value of the cap the more low end actually.

0.68uF will be like a high/mid boost. While 50uF or higher will be like a fat boost.

I used 22uF

It will give a nice all around boost tone.
