Treble Bleed Volume Pot

The hard part is that there are three values to consider.

Treble bleed volume pot.

Here s how easily this is. Wire this simple mod between the input and output lugs of your guitar volume control pot to smooth out treble bleed. It s a common modification people have been doing for a while said jonathan parrish a fender engineer who designed the treble bleed circuits in the american professional series guitars. The one downside to the treble bleed circuit is that it will affect the way your guitar cleans up when you turn down the volume.

Again this little mod works best with single coil pickups. Each one of the values affects the other and the result is entirely dependent on your personal tastes. A treble bleed high pass circuit allows the highs to bleed or pass through the volume pot even as it is turned down. By adding the resistor in parallel a small amount of all frequencies are allowed to bypass the volume pot along with the high frequencies that bled through the capacitor.

Get more uniform tone from 1 to 10 and a more rounded sound at low volume. Hand soldered here in our shop. A 150k ohm 1 4 watt resistor 1 tolerance in parallel with a 001uf capacitor. So heads up strat and tele slingers.

Typical capacitor values are between 001mfd and 003mfd.
