New Download! Cap codes revealed!

Okay, here's another builder's quick reference for your shop, this time all about capacitor codes. I think that whomever invented capacitors used an Enigma machine to label them.

Screwing up the value of a cap can wreck a tonestack or completely alter the sound of your interstage signal. I can never remember how to go from pF to nF to uF to wtfF without looking, so here's a cheat sheet to help us keep it straight if you're the same way. Enjoy!
