Sozo NextGen Blue Molded Vintage Capacitors

The BlueMolded line of polyester film capacitors is a retrofit for Astron or Blue Moulded caps used in vintage tweed, brown, and blackface Fenders®. These capacitors amazingly capture vintage Fender® tones of the Blackface era, and the famous 1959 tweed 5F6-A Bassman era, which is so musical and good, Marshall™ modelled their amps after them!

After years of painstaking research and development, in 2003, SoZo Amplification began manufacturing the SoZo Mustard Cap capacitors, which quickly gained popularity among discriminating musicians and amp designers. Now, hundreds of thousands of capacitors later, SoZo has engineered capacitor product lines optimised for different products, including amps by Marshall™, Fender®, Vox®, HiWatt, and others, as well as professional sound gear from Neve, API, Neumann, Universal Audio, Urei, and virtually any quality gear from the 1950s on.

These caps are successful recreations of the originals and are superbly built, with excellent sound quality. When one considers that the audio signal passes through as many as ten capacitors before exiting the amplifier, it becomes clear how these components play a significant role in determining the tone of the amplifier.
