F&T Radial Capacitors

F&T (Fischer & Tausche) is a respected German manufacturer of electrolytic capacitors, well-regarded in the audiophile, pro audio, and guitar amplifier communities. Their radial electrolytic capacitors are often chosen as replacements or upgrades in tube amps, hi-fi gear, and vintage electronics due to their reliability, long service life, and tonal neutrality.

Made in Germany – F&T has been producing capacitors since the 1940s, with consistent quality control.
Radial lead design – both leads exit from one side of the capacitor body, making them suitable for PCB mounting or compact layouts.
Electrolytic capacitors – available in a wide range of voltages (commonly 25V – 500V) and capacitance values.
Applications – popular in guitar amps (Fender, Marshall, Vox, boutique builds), audio gear, and high-voltage circuits where reliability is key.
Sound reputation – often described as clear, dynamic, and transparent, without the colouration sometimes associated with cheaper electrolytics.
Long lifespan – typically rated for thousands of hours at full load, with high temperature tolerances (often 85°C or 105°C).
