Filter cap cover & board construction
Posted: Sun 01/12/20 6:11 pm
Two questions; Is it necessary to use a filter cap cover or dog house as some call it? I imagine its use is to shield from EFI, right? I also remember opening up a Fender filter cap cover and finding material glued to the inside, like rubber or board material. Am I remembering that right?
Secondly, I know Marshall's commonly use the epoxy board w/turrets and Fenders commonly use paper board with eyelets. I think the epoxy board style is superior. Is it ok to build a Fender clone using a epoxy board rather then paper w/eyelets? I know I can do anything I want but just wondering if their are beliefs that the board relates to the tone?
Thanks Sean
