What input caps should I use? (Rangemaster build)

[msb69]

I'm building a Rangemaster clone and want to have a 3-way toggle switch for Treble, Mid, and Full-Range boost.  What three cap values do you suggest?

Probably best to find out through experimenting with your setup. I like to have the *stock* value available (4n7), but you may find that tone is not useful for your purposes. The Geofex article has info about choosing input caps, and is a must read if you plan on building a Rangemaster clone.

I normally use two caps on a switch and I use the stock .005uf and .01uf.  You could add a third to get bassier, in that case I'd experiment with .068uf or .05uf.  I think .1uf is too bassy but I've seen people use it.  I think Keeley's bass cap is .068uf in the Java Boost.
