Thanks for the tip about the resistor being half the pot value. Appreciate it! Man, some of these people on TH-cam are rough on the comments! I've thought about doing videos, but I don't know if I could handle the bs comments. So many negative people in the world! Thanks again...there are some who appreciate when somebody is trying to help them!👍😎🎸🎶
Modification on separating your front plate in two separate pieces for easy access for testing components will definitely contribute into my modifying experience. TY KTJ 👌👊
My LTSpice simulation suggests 7n cap creates tube screamer like frequency response (i.e hump at 1300hz) on typical 6500 ohm single coil. Resistor is just like Kley said. In sim case 500k vol pot pairs well with 250k resistor saving 6db lows. That would be the cheapest and easiest way to feed TS response in to a distorted tube amp. Those values are in very low volume - say at 0.2 of the range. The thing seems to be to find values (and corresponding volume pot position )which also start to cut the higest ice peak. It means that the some of the high roll of should be effective and it will with very low volume position.
I too juggled about with treble bleeds and 50s wiring etc to the point that it drove me up the wall. The best treble bleed is to not hook the Treble pickup to the tone, just use it with the middle pickup in series . The Standard 60s wiring works for Fenders. On the other hand P90s can really benefit from treble bleeds like you say ; .001mf and a 1k resistor (optional) can turn a Muddy P90 into a chrystal clear PAF tone on the bridge.
Thanks for the video. On the fence between 50s wiring and a treble bleed circuit. Something a little artificial about the way a treble bleed lets some frequencies through while the other ones change. In parallel it just changed the sound all together. Not sure if that is a resistance capacitance value issue. Heard you have to play with different sizes until it sounds right
I'm making a fender tone saver type with a resistor in series and parallel. I just got done but haven't wired it in yet with the values I picked. I need to add alligator clips for a quick switching system to test with or something
Can someone please tell me if a 2018 Fender Player HSS Strat has a 500 or 250 kOhm Vol Pot by standard? I want to order capacitor and resistance, but i don't know the value of my Strats vol. pot. Thanks in advantage.
Hi Kley, Loved your video man. i am thinking of building a volume knob pedal that is just going to manipulate the volume (at the end of my chain) for bedroom use. With the potentiometer, I want to put in a treble bleed circuit as well & am currently roaming around for info. This was helpful. Cheers!
So does treble bleed add highs or take them away? What exactly does this do? Parallel or series? Everyone says something different about parallel or series.. I want to know what things to put in the guitar will help give the hugest general Jimi-SRV tones.. That is what I am looking for the hugest best Strat tones.. any Suggestions. Dont say thick strings, I cant do that, hand issues and surgery, from machine shop work.. I go 10-46, thats all I can use. This gizmo sounds like it is clicking into a lot of scratchy noise..Whats up with that?
Every time I put a cap and a resistor in the volume pot, turning down the volume will not change the sound until it reaches 1 at least. What is wrong with this? Thanks!
if your pot isn't scratchy at first, it will be before long ....using the treble bleed requires a more robust pot - (4 wiper CTS or sealed Dunlop(unfortunately Dunlop solid shaft is metric ?!)
I bought an American made strat last year which has a treble bleed circuit. It accentuates so much that it goes beyond a bright, wiry sound to the point that it sounds like fret buzz. I hate it.
Why don't you trying wiring your guitar 50's style and you can ditch the treble bleed? Your signal will be contained in one circuit as opposed to being dumped by another circuit to the hot lead. I used to do exactly what you are doing but stopped the madness when I discovered 50's wiring. I run 1 of 2 different wiring schems in my strats. 1- 50's wiring, neck/mid tone 1/.022 cap, bridge tone 2/.022 cap or 2- same wiring as above but middle pup off tone for super quack. Make sure you use vintage taper pots, they don't do the all or nothing/on off volume thing.

Thank you, nice tips. The capacitor alone really retains only the highs. The resistance helps to retain more of the spectrum.

Excellent video! Exactly what guitarists need to KNOW!
How much do they pay you to say that
I was looking for a video explaining what the circuit did and this was perfect. Thank you!

Thank you for making this video. I think it will help a lot of guitarists wanting the treble bleed mod.
I feel like a like and subscription isn’t enough for videos like this

Change your potentiometer first 🤓
no need to change it, just clean it.
@@rohadtanyad8908 I think you also clean your guitar strings rather changing it.

🤔 Those ideas opened up my mind , thank you , I will try that !
Hey nice demo. Thank you 🙏

I dig the suhr style (150k/680pf in parallel) for my humbucker guitars
Another option to explore is a 50s wiring scheme.

If your looking for a Eddie sound, this tone bleed will help you achieve the sound. I been using gt for years, with a green TS9
Every time I put a cap and a resistor in the volume pot, turning down the volume will not change the sound until it reaches 1 at least. What is wrong with this? Thanks!
cap or resistor values are likely off.
You probably have the capacitor backwards.
if your pot isn't scratchy at first, it will be before long ....using the treble bleed requires a more robust pot - (4 wiper CTS or sealed Dunlop(unfortunately Dunlop solid shaft is metric ?!)
Thanks for video man
Could you have strummed the same chord for each example? Can’t really tell the difference if you strum different chords
Is that a left neck on right body?
very helpful thank you
does a treble bleed works to cut extra low end from a guitar?
No. It allow highs to bleed through as you turn the volume control down. You could try a more aggressive cap value to make it pass lots of highs.
Scratchy pot ?
how did you figure?
So wait would you use treble bleed and a capacitor?
Is it really that hard to specify 0.001 what are those? kF, GF, TF etc...
I might have been rough in my comment. I am sorry... I was hungry
I had this done and just found it made the guitar sound hard and wirey plus thin also.
I'm pretty sure that's the point.

Very easy fix.
@1:27 ...oh really? who'd a thought?
Clean the pot .👍

Powder Mathews not that easy. It makes the pots interact.
I'm not liking the parallel resistance. Seems to make the pot noisy.
James Reedy I think the pot has issues, lacking the contact spray ：）
Pots are cheap, cheaper than cleaners.
Good job guitarist who is definitely not michael buble
Why's that pot so fucking scratchy? That's terrible
LOL at the end that sucks
:( crunchy potentiometer
I don't think it works on guitars with humbuckers
sure it does... people do it all the time (relatively speaking)
I got an idea ……….Don't roll your volume back…..!.!.!.!
Rolling back just a bit is where you find the sweet spot. It cleans the tone.
""cleans the tone""" I have no idea what the means ………...
lol
Love the scratchy pot, that's where I stopped and looked for somebody else.
