Either directly soldered to the pot case, as in the SD diagrams, or by connecting to the tone pot lug. If one wanted to follow the outside foil theory, the outer foil side of the cap would be connected to the ground end. In a standard tone control inside a guitar, the cap bleeds some of the signal to ground, so it's basically a bypass cap. But I have read of "audiophiles" who use an O-scope to find out what end is connected to the outer foil so they can connect their caps accordingly. That may or may not tell you what you need to know about how much difference it makes. Aside from some "boutique" caps, I don't think anyone commonly marks the outer foil anymore. The theory was that it could help prevent electrical coupling into the cap. The outside foil was supposed to be connected to the lower impedance side of the circuit. I have some vintage film and foils that are marked where the band does indicate outside foil. Orange Drops used to have one end marked but, supposedly, that marking did not indicate the outside foil. Is there any possible truth to that?Some manufacturers used to mark the end of the cap where the lead was attached to the outside foil. Not to change the topic- But I hear on occasion the direction of the cap might affect things. If you never roll off your volume control, it makes no difference either way. You can get some great warm in between tones. I also feel it makes the tone pot more responsive, especially when the volume pot is lower than 10. You only have to move the cap from the left volume lug to the center. You should try it for yourself to see if you like it. I prefer 50's wiring and all my guitars are wired this way. With modern wiring, the rolled back clean tone would be much darker. Then, roll down the volume knob enough to get a fairly clean tone, yet with essentially the same treble as the full volume version. So, you can be on a single channel amp with volume sufficient to break the amp up, like AC/DC. With 50's wiring, the treble loss is much less, allowing you to roll down your volume and retain the basic tone. With modern wiring, the more you roll back the volume pot, the darker the tone becomes. The main difference between modern wiring and 50's wiring is that 50's wiring preserves treble response as you roll down the volume pot. Re: Difference between different capacitor placement?
