All solder joints are sound and I don’t have any shorts. 12 caps - all the same .047uF value- starting #1 with the orange drop at 8:00. The most expensive one was around $3, the cheapest was 19 cents.

I am not certain on what it does. It looks like good art to me. Does it cure baldness and epizooties? I am okay with bald, but these epizooties get me down sometimes.
This is going to a one time test. An external tone control in a box - 12 different caps - all .047, but different types so I can hear for myself whether orange drops or bumblebees or whatever make a difference. If I had an oscilloscope, I’d be breaking it out to see the waveforms, but I’m only 1/2 of the way to that sophist-a-ma-cated. Either way this turns out, I’ll have my own evidence that cap type matters or it doesn’t. Expanding on this idea though, I just sent for lots of different value caps to make a decade box .0004 to .110 uF. The thought here is to fine tune caps - set the big knob on .022 and the small knob on .0047to get a .0267uF cap equivalent. The values add if wired in parallel. ><><><>< just sayin’ here : Jameco, Digikey, and Mouser have every electronic component you’d ever need - and usually a fair bit cheaper than guitar sites. Stew Mac sells caps for $26 or something. I want to know if it’s marketing or real.
So cool, Uncle Toad! I thought about making one with four different values, but decided against it since I haven't had much luck at this sort of thing. You have how many?! Rhetorical question. Excellent!

NASA recently landed a Rover on Mars, that looks very similar to your Flux Capacitor ??
;-D
Wow! When to we get to see and hear how this works Uncle Toad?

Very cool. I love this idea.
