Same great tone as the 715P's, but the 716P's have copper leads. .022 is common value used in Gibson & other Humbucker-equipped guitars and is becoming more commonly used in Fender Strats as well. Review: Awesome Tone! - I have an old Chinese made Ibanez Artcore Semi-Hollow Body I've enjoyed playing for about 15 years now. While the guitar itself is very well made and fun to play, it has always sounded just bit like a tin can - until now. A month ago one of the volume potentiometers broke. I decided to replace all four pots along with the tone capacitors. I can't say enough about the sound quality of this guitar now. I would put it up against any Gibson, Epiphone, or Guild of the same size. These caps (along with the Jim Dunlop pots) have really changed the sound of the guitar. It has a much fatter and smoother sound. I couldn't be happier with this purchase! Review: Used as stereo bypass filters - Used as bypass filters on power supply capacitors in a stereos amplifier. It worked quite well. Cleaned up the high end and slightly into the upper midrange. Made sound stage more detailed and quiet. Thats what I was looking to do. Sounded better after about 75 hours of burn in time. ## Features - Manutactured by Cornell-Dubulie - Commonly used in Gibson and Humbucker equipped guitars - Copper- tinned Leads - Polypropylene Capacitor ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00MS7GAXE | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,018 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #41 in Electric Guitar Electronics | | Brand Name | Orange Drop | | Capacitance | 2.2E-8 Farad | | Capacitance Tolerance | 5% | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,080) | | Included Components | Not Included | | Item Shape | Round | | Item Weight | 0.01 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Cornell-Dubilier | | Material Type | Polyester | | Maximum Voltage | 400 Volts | | Mounting Type | Through-Hole Mount | | Operating Voltage | 400 Volts | | UPC | 683405542957 | | Upper Temperature Rating | 221 Degrees Fahrenheit | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Orange Drop - **Capacitance:** 2.2E-8 Farad - **Material:** Polyester - **Operating Voltage:** 400 Volts - **Shape:** Round ## Images ![Pair (2X) - .022 uf/400 v Orange Drop Capacitors - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/511OtKZ71gL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Who is the manufacturer?** A: CDE = Cornell Dubilier. SBE, a version of Sprague ended production of Orange Drops in late 2011, and the production rights were sold to Cornell Dubilier at that time. **Q: Will this work for 500k pots in my hsh stratocaster?** A: This should work if your using "humbuckers". Normally a strat with single coil pickups use 250k pots. These caps are for your tone, you can find diagrams on the net just about anywhere. Good luck! **Q: Does it matter which way the capacitors are connected (polarity)?** A: No it does not matter with these capacitors **Q: Will these work with a H S S pickups if so how do i wire them** A: They can work with any pickups if .022 is the value you want. I would find an H S S strat diagram on line. That will show you how to properly configure the caps. ## Customer Reviews ### ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ Awesome Tone! *by J***N on May 13, 2019* I have an old Chinese made Ibanez Artcore Semi-Hollow Body I've enjoyed playing for about 15 years now.

Theyā€™re a little big so if you donā€™t have the cavity space you may want to get the 200v as they seem smaller --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - šŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** ā€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - šŸŒ **Shop Globally** ā€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - šŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** ā€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - šŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** ā€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - šŸ”’ **Secure Payments** ā€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ā­ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** ā€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/14878366-pair-2x-022-uf-400-v-orange-drop-capacitors](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/14878366-pair-2x-022-uf-400-v-orange-drop-capacitors) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
