Black beauty capacitors are notoriously leaky and can short, burning out other components. I know there is a cult following for them where they are used in certain guitar bodies, where their leakiness causes distortion of sound that is like by some, and they are not in a high voltage circuit there so not likely to cause damage. But using them in an amplifier at voltage is asking for trouble. I've seen plenty of pictures of them split open after they let their smoke out.
