Gator aid. Or how to get the most from your Gator.

[tdog]

Hi,
I have made decision to mod my already good sounding Gator board.
I got suggestion that I should change for Panasonic Puerism caps and I am planning to change 4 of them, but original caps are bipolar, my ordered caps are electrolitic positive and negative ones.
As I do not have much experience in electronics I would ask kindly Stan or someone else how can I swap those bipolar caps to pos/neg ones?
Thanks

Nope, non-polar electrolytics cannot be replaced by polar in small signal circuits typically without creating distortion and changing the circuit characteristics... That said, in such a small signal circuit you will probably not cause any damage either. If there is a DC bias across the caps, make certain that you have the caps polarised correctly (ie, positive side of the cap goes to the more positive voltage) or else then you may cause some damage.

You do know that Stan listens to the parts he puts in there and choses the best he can? I'm very happy with My Gator, it's made a significant improvement to the Caiman.
