Capacitors are energy-storage devices that filter the high frequencies. A cap lets the tone control roll off the treble response, progressively warming the tone. The higher the value, the more bass output from the tone control at its "zero" setting.

A cap wired to a potentiometer creates a standard tone control, as explained in this Article: How a tone control works.

.001uF (microfarad) is for volume control treble-bleed circuits. .022uF and .047uF are guitar tone control caps; .047uF and .100uF are for basses. 180pF (picofarad) is for PRS guitar volume clarity.

These identification codes are printed on the caps:
Item / size Code
#1294 / 180pF = 181
#1290 / 0.001uF = 102Z
#1291 / 0.022uF = 223
#1292 / 0.047uF = 473
#1293 / 0.1000uF = 104

Great tone

I've used the .02s and the.05s and both sound great and produce great tone. Just purchased the .10s to tray and pump the low end even more.

0.10mf cap

Installed 0.10mf cap in an Epiphone Viola Bass. Useful tone across the range of the pot and still remains musical with the tone knob at zero. Provides the option for more low-end tone on a treble-voiced instrument. My only complaint is that I now have 11 more than I needed for the job.

Used for bass tone

I did a custom build with a tone pot for each pickup and used these caps they made for a tone pot with a great level of control. Very sturdy leads didn't break in the cramped casing I put them into.
