Hehe, just so ya know, nobody really uses "millifarad" or "Megafarad" in general electronics. No Milli because it's covered within the ones we DO use, and no Mega because, well a megafarad cap would be gigantic and I think they are only used in high end R&D applications. I'm not sure they are even commercially available.Originally Posted by ibanezjunkie
For context, it's common to use 1 Farad caps in very high powered car audio installations because a 1 Farad cap can dump it's charge faster than a 12V car battery and this ensures smooth sub bass response. Yes, that's a cap the size of a can of coke (or larger usually) that can supply power faster than a car battery.
Now a 1 Megafarad cap would be 1.0E6 or 1,000,000 times the capacity of that 1 Farad car audio cap. You could use it to power your street maybe, but it'd have no place in a guitar
For reference these are the ones we use.
Farads (= 1,000,000 Microfarads)
Microfarads (= 1000 Nanofarads)
Nanofarads (= 1000 Picofarads)
