Probably the most important consideration for me for coupling caps when I built a guitar amp, after capacitance, voltage and dielectric, was the lead length and thickness.
oh yeah that's all covered its all gonna fit, main powers are actually a bit taller but I got plenty of room, made sure on proper/correct lead spacing, I got it down pat man lol
Come on man give me some credit here rippin guitar skillz give you awesome abilities to do things with your hands right? as well as fingers obviously haha
Dear jrguitarguy.
Clearly you are having a lively dialog with your invisible friend, problem is that we see what you write but not what he answers.
Will you please quote him in your answers?
Otherwise it looks like you are talking alone, and we miss half the fun.
Thanks. 😉

Just logged back after a few days in to take a look at the progress of the thread and that is a lot of posts...
Anyway, if you want to not really mess up your 20 year old PCB with soldering AND if you want to check out different caps, then solder in a pair of single "green screw terminal posts" (Mouser and Digikey has them as does some Radio Shack). You can connect your capacitor leads into the terminals and roll at will with others and a screw drive and solder only once.
Bob looks like a cool guy, please convince him to become a DIY Forum member so he can post his own answers.
Being able to hear both sides of a discussion is better than trying to guess one side, by listening to the other side only 😛

I could use a few maybe in early stages but later on in the chain voltages are bit high, those are not rated very high either...
40watt iron and took piece Iron I had and grinded the **** out of it to pin point diameter damn near maybe bit smaller xD, and with thin gauge solder, yeah it gets hot as **** and melts real quick but I like that, just gotta be careful xD
I have 25w and 30w but takes too long to heat up and they don't stay hot enough to me and if you use a thicker gauge solder they don't like them at all, 40watt will just burn anything and heats up quick as **** xD
careful where you lay it though lol like me you get drunk and knock it over not realizing it and you turn around on the bench damn rags and whole damn bench be on fire lol
