Bypass caps

You'll need to experiment with the value. This depends a lot on how each stage is setup. Don't go crazy (like 250mfd) --- or you might get "farting" bad blocking distortion. That's a sign the bypass mfd value is too high.

I'd limit it to 100mfd/50VDC tops. See how the tone is like. 25mfd/50VDC maybe good, if you feel the very low notes are a bit muddy. IOW, you wish to get a cleaner bottom end.

Try to stay with 50VDC or higher voltage rated electrolytic caps.

Good luck! Tells us what bypass works the best.
