The latest evolution and most comprehensive range yet of Bare Knuckle's premium paper in oil tone capacitors.

Following exhaustive testing, BKP has developed a range of custom spec capacitors with Jupiter Condenser in the USA, which cover everything that players need from a great tone cap.

All models produce a clear, defined response, right through the full range of your tone control and feature aluminium foil construction with silver lead-outs, encased in a hermetically sealed capsule for dependable performance.

For maximum tonal variety, BKP now offers 2 options for the dielectric fluid (oil) inside the capacitor, yielding 2 subtly different tonal flavours:

Vitamin Q - a synthetic oil which results in a slightly brighter overall tone, with a more notched, wah-like character when rolled back. This version is most like the previous versions of Bare Knuckle caps, especially the older Jensen models

Mineral oil - a more rounded and warm character, with a smoother, even sound when rolled right back

Each type is available in three capacitance variants:

0.047µF a deeper, darker response, best suited to single coils and pairing with a 280k tone pot

0.022µF for a great all-round response

0.015µF for a slightly brighter response, great for retaining clarity on a neck tone control
