What caps are these?

Post by Emetal »

Can somebody please tell me what is the value of these Capacitors on the photos?

471 is 470pf, 222 is .0022uf or 2.2nF.

Small valued caps can be tricky to read, they are not labeled consistently. For example sometimes 470 means 47pf and sometimes it means 470pf depending on whether that particular manufacturer was labeling with the exact value or using the coding system. Quite annoying but that's why it's good to double-check these values with a meter.

Looking a little over....

You are trying to do reverse engineering of a Laney VH100R modded by...?

Hahahah Roberto you are clever dude :-) Well it's all done now, reversely engineered 100 % But only for my own education purposes and curiosity :-)

I'm just good in mathematics: 1 + 1 makes often 2.

The 2n2 cap is a xicon used as a depth (as far as I can see), the other one is a 470p ceramic.

So if it's totally retroengineered you can share the schematic without any reference to the modder.
