Hi,
I'm working on a modified BOSS HM-2 which uses gyrators for tone control. It has an odd capacitor value (C35) of 1.5uF. I happen to have some tantalum caps with this value. Then I noticed the C35 polarity on the BOSS schematic is opposite to some schematics you can find online.
I did an LTSpice simulation which shows the signal polarity reversing.
Assuming my simulation is correct, my question is: Will a tantalum cap stand up to this abuse? Otherwise I have a "normal" 1uF electrolytic that measures 1.2uF and I might use that.
