Which would you choose for a boutique amp?

Why or how much do you really / actually know about the manufacturer and tone properties of the different capacitors?

Have you tried SoZos? I really like them. Savage amps here in MN recently made the switch because they like them so much. I tend to use Orange Drops for more experimenting because they have every value size you can imagine, which makes for easy tweaking beyond the norm. SoZo has a limited value range that are the traditional mustard values, I wish they had a few more sizes. That said I have them in a couple amps and find them to have nice warmth and a great open character. Having messed quite a bit with my old amps I have learned that every cap sounds different and as a result it is subject to the users ear.

For a new Marshall like build it has to be Sozo caps, the real Mustards should be saved for vintage Marshalls. Apparently the new Sozos coming out in the next few weeks sound BETTER than Mustards.
