Ok, I wasn't sure, I knew in old tube equipment, capacitor values weren't too critical but I wasn't sure about solid state stuff ( I know some solid state stuff like this capacitor value is more critical, than in tube circuits, which is why I asked.)

And I would think tube equipment would be more critical than solid-state...
