Hi !!!
Im about to build Tonepad's GT-2 ...i have difficulties finding the 560 pf cap, can i replace it with a 470pf ?
Thanks !!!

Probably would work.  I'd just use two 270's (parallel).

It's probably either a treble bleed cap across a resistor [inwhich case you'll get a slight less bit of treble through the cap in the signal path
 Or it's a HF shunt cap to ground in which case you'll get less treble shunted to ground at that point.
 Not that big of a difference...probably noticable but not so much since I'd guess there's a tone control...IWC I might would just socket that one...just in case I wantedto change the value of it.
 or...not as likely it's wired some other way.
