Guitar surgery
I’m modifying my les Paul and one of my strats with a neat little thing called a treble bleed. My tele has active (battery powered) electronics so I can drop the volume knob with no change in tone.
On passive guitars when you lower the volume knob the sound gets muddy. These pots have a little circuit board with an adjustable resistor so you can dial in the tone at lower volume settings.
I could have just bought resisters and capacitors in different values and experimented until I got the right amount of bleed but instead I popped for these $13 pots (super nice CTS pots) with the adjuster.
Did the LP tonight and it sounds amazing. Mud be gone. Next up 25 year old strat.
