The DiMarzio EP1047 .047 Microfarad Capacitor is a simple but important component for shaping the response of your guitar's tone control circuit. Commonly used in passive electric guitar wiring, this capacitor helps create a smooth and musical treble roll-off when adjusting the tone knob.
Whether you're upgrading an older instrument, replacing a worn component, or building a custom wiring harness, the EP1047 offers dependable performance and classic tonal behavior trusted by guitar players and technicians alike.
A .047 microfarad capacitor is a popular choice for many single-coil and vintage-style guitar circuits. As the tone control is rolled back, it allows more high frequencies to be filtered out, producing warmer sounds for rhythm playing, blues leads, jazz tones, and vintage-inspired textures.
Many players appreciate the smooth transition from bright, articulate sounds to warmer, rounded tones without sacrificing overall musicality.
The tone capacitor plays a significant role in how your guitar responds when using the tone control. A .047 microfarad value offers a deeper treble reduction than lower-value capacitors, making it a favorite for players seeking warmer rhythm sounds and broader tonal flexibility.
