wassup peter there

I just wanted to let you know that for the tip that either would be great, but I would go with th PA capcell. The PACapcells are actually made of both batteries and capacitors (a few little ones put together). Example: the capacitor is basically a dump for power drawn from a battery and when the amp demands more power it is their for you my friend like a turbos blow off valve. Yet the cap has cycling times in which when drawn/demanded over a period of time (few seconds actually) it is empty and will need more seconds to refuel itself before the next note. Thus the amp will start drawing from the original or extra batteries. The capcell has a supply backing its own power dump for the amps demands. YESSSSS THE CAPCELL CAN BE DRAWN JUST AS THE REGULAR CAP YET IT WILL DUMP OUT VERY VERY SLOWLY AND IT HAS AN ALLMOST INSTANT CYCLE TIME. You will notice that the cap will drop its voltage reading from 13-0.0 in about 5-12 sec after a very strong continuous note, as for the capcell it may only drop about 2-5 volts on the same not e due to its small batteries connected to it.

PS dont worry about the PA haters they don't understand that PA is just a slightly lower grade of it's big brother Sound Stream.
