hey, i'm always up for a good argument.
it's weird, some people (very experienced guitar/amp techs) swear by them, and others seem to not be able to notice. i personally don't know all that much, but "technically" i would think there would have to be a tonal difference (i mean, they are made out of different material).
however, when you factor in so many other more major components of your final tonal output (wood, guitar contruction, pickup selection, amp, speakers, tubes, etc, etc, etc, ad infinitum) i would think that a single tone caps' "value added" is marginal at best, especailly when there are other things in all the myriad of components that could also be tweaked to get you a basically "more bright", or "less bright" tone (or "more this" or "less that"). dig?
in the end, how much more is a top of the line tone cap than a ceramic disk? why not just get the best that all the techies say is the best and then play it with confidence. i mean, i'm not an environmental scientist, but when the majority of the global scientific community (or any "experts" for that matter) concur on global warming, well, then i take their word for it.
