Description: CLT Model 3G Capacitor Leakage Tester Guitar Amp repair Fender Marshall Vox +A leaky coupling capacitor lets current through from the preceding stage and upsets the DC bias, usually turning the tube on so hard that no signal can pass through it. A power tube with a leaky or shorted coupling capacitor may blow fuses cause low power or excess hum, or kill transformers.Lets say you’re repairing an expensive vintage amp and are going to either test or replace the cap’s (non-electrolytic) I would highly recommend checking the replacement cap with the CLT 3G Capacitor Leakage Tester. What's nice about the CLT 3G is it’s east to use, there are no buttons to press or dials to turn and no charts to look up. Just connect the test probes to the replacement cap and look at the white LED indicator. It takes very little cap leakage to upset the grid bias of the next stage of the amplifier this is especially true with transistor circuits.New cap's manufactured today, even major brands, are not made with the same attention to quality as they once did. So always test a Cap even when you're installing a brand new one. If a cap is already soldered in the circuit, just cut and lift one end and test it. 1 Gigaohm [GΩ] = 1,000 Megaohm [MΩ]Testing range is from 1 pF to 0.33uF [67 values] and should handle many ofthe coupling and tone caps used in amplifiers.Uses a white 3volt indicator LED.Customer feedback and comments for this item:From a buyer: Thanks Tom!
