Volume
Control Circuit - Treble Bypass Filter. Also
known as a Treble Bleed Filter.
Here's a simple fix to
stop losing treble/presence when the volume is
turned down on your electric guitar. This device
helps to preserve the amount of brightness as
the volume pot is turned down. It is wired
across the two hot terminals of the volume pot.
A rudimentary way of looking at it is the
capacitor allows some of the high frequencies to
pass around the volume pot direct to the output
and the resistor limits the amount of them that
get past. This circuit works best with 250k
volume control potentiometers and true single
coil pickups.
This design works better
than a 'capacitor' only or the parallel
'resistor/capacitor' design that some makers fit
to their guitars, so if you didn't like theirs
try this one.
The values of both the
capacitor and resistor are the same as you would
find on world renowned pickup manufacturer
Chris Kinman of Australia and his Strat® pickup harness
sets such as his K7 and K9.
Actual style and type of
capacitors and resistors you receive may vary
from those pictured above due to changes in
inventory, but the resistance and capacitance
values will be the same and the treble by-pass
effect of the installed circuit will be the
same.
