I'm a little unsure what this cap is doing in a wah circuit,and the different values that were used over the years.So,I have a '68 Crybaby Made in Italy,That has a 4uf Cap.I also have a '74 Thomas Organ Co. Crybaby that has a 3.9uf Orange Tantalum Cap,and a newer Dunlop Crybaby that has the most common Electrolytic 4.7uf Cap.I'm just clueless to what exactly that cap is doing in the circuit?!I'm going for a "Vintage" Wah Tone with my Dunlop.(Because I'm too scared to bring the old ones out to gigs.)  I'm just wondering if I swap in a 4uf Cap(which i have) If that's going to do anything audibly?
