100 PF 50VDC DISC CAPACITOR

6 cents to bullet proof a Class D 500 watt bass amp?

I got a technical bulletin from Peavey regarding some of their Class D high powered bass amps. A protection circuit has a 120 or 150 pF capacitor on it, that gives a bit too much time factor before the protection mode kicks in, so I have been replacing them with these, and they work great. A newer model has SMDs but we have those too. The tech said something about getting "deep into the amp". Removing the speaker, and pulling the power amp is not all that bad, or going very deep, but for today's techs anything SMD is usually considered disposable. Fix it now, before it blows up, and it will be worth fixing.
