I just picked up a Traynor YGL-3 Guitar Mate and I want to give it a cap job. It has 2 Mallory FP style 40/40 450V caps. I can find any direct replacements. There's some twist lock style 40/20/20 500V at Antique Electronics. My first question would be, would it be OK to use those, taking each of the 20uf sections and running them in parallel to get my 40uf needed? Second, at $30 each, that makes my cap job cost $60 in parts alone. What about using some of those JJ LDR style caps? I don't see a 40/40 but there is a 50/50. Is that too much of a difference to be a good idea?
