  • Recap job on a Traynor YGL-3A (capacitor values)

    I'm replacing all the electrolytic capacitors in a Traynor YGL-3A, but I need some help determining what would be acceptable replacement values.

    I'm having problems finding replacements for these ratings:

    68uF at 63V (the closest I could find to this rating was 50uF at 50V)

    150uF at 16V (closest I could find was 100uF at 100V, 350V, and 450V)

    I know I can use capacitors with a higher voltage rating than the originals, but is it safe to use capacitors with higher/lower capacitance values?
    Delay and wah... that's almost one pedal too many.

    THe 68u is a bias cap....value is not critical. I'd use 100u/100v here. A 47u/100v should be fine too. The 150u is a preamp cathode bypass cap. 100 and 220 are closest std values. You could parallel a 100u and a 47u to get there. Higher voltage is not needed...the cap only sees a couple volts across it. 10,16,25v will all work fine.
