I really REALLY wanted to compare paper-in-oil "vintage" capacitors with modern ones. I swapped enough of them over the last years but I never invested the time for a proper shootout. Now is the time, let's do some myth-busting. Enjoy Guitar Tweakz!

Here are the two capacitors from the video (Thomann affiliate links):

** Why the "Includes paid promotion" message? **
According to german laws everyone has to mark their videos as advertisements as soon as there's a single "subject relevant" product, tag or link in it. Even if you didn't get paid for making that video. Sounds confusing and it really doesn't help the viewer to see which is a paid review and which isn't.
--- The line of truth: Is this actually a paid review? No it isn't. (I update this line for every video).
