My BYOC tremolo calls for 2x .47 electrolytic caps.

Smallbear did not have any, so i ordered film caps. Can I use these? Any change in sound?

Thanks!

You can always use film caps for electros, as long as the uF is the same and the WV (working voltage) is the same or higher.
There's no difference in tone.  Film has a much longer life.
