The video is very straightforward. Love it. So, I have a cheap SSS Strat and its too bright for me. After watching your video I've determined that I prefer the 250K on my guitar's tone knob, but I'm struggling to choose between A250K or B250K. Others say that the A's for Tone and B's for pots. Is this true?
I put 1 mrg pots with my SD Invaders, and once you go past 9 on the volumes, it goes chainsaw. Oh yeah, I didn't use ANY tone knob or circuit... which makes a HUGE difference. But I ain't going back to "BloozDad" lame city!
Thanks! Great video. I like the simple, side by side comparison without comment. It really makes it easy to judge what you are hearing, uncontaminated by prejudgments owing to commentary like "notice how much brighter the highs are". Listening cold like this I can simply say "that's too brassy and metallic" or "I like the clear, ringing highs!"
Excellent video. I particularly liked the signal without effects, as it is the most revealing. The differences were smaller than I thought they'd be. Thanks
Don't forget that thw cable itself and the amplifier input impedance may reduce the high frequencies in the signal much more significantly then the potentiometers, though especially for single coils the higher pot values may over-exaggerate these frequencies and make the signal sound harsh.
Great video! the way you show the sound with and without effects is something that doesnt get shown too much on videos but I found yours very very useful.
With humbuckers the 250 seemed to choke the tone/ volume where the 500s sounded perfect and the one Meg sounded thin and brittle in the high end.... too much fizz.....
Great video, I only really noticed a difference a couple times, the third demo riff was the first real noticeable difference it really wasn’t what I was expecting… *500k* seemed a lot ‘brighter’ _(for lack of a better word)_ & *1-Meg* _(or 1000K)_ was even brighter _(so-to-speak)_
@@mihailmilev9909 Well, the application for 250K potentiometers, is like a traditional Telecaster or Stratocaster style guitars (with two or three single coil pickups respectively). That being said, the proper application 500K potentiometers is Humbuckers (two Single coil pickups wound opposite one-another & put together), the only thing I can think of to be a truly proper application for 1-Meg would be like, the Quad-Rail Humbuckers which are two single coil sized humbuckers put together, which, is technically four single coil pickups put together…
interesting the 250k and 1meg sound the best, the 250k to me sounds a bit cleaner... from all i've read the 500k should be better for the humbuckers and now i'm not sure which cts pot to order. 🤷♂️ ok, the clean sound definitely shows the 500k and 1meg are best, but distortion sounded like the 1meg was cleaner and just as beefy sounding between the two.
so true sir i find the 250 much creamier for me i will have a 250k for the volume and a 500k for the tone control with a 0.22 caps for a humbucker just my preference
I couldn't notice one little difference. I'll stick with my 250k. Glad I found your video. Plus playing through my Deville and pedal board I'm sure nobody will.😊
Thanks for a really good video! The CTS pot i bought doesn't fit in the hole in the metal. What brand should I by if I want good pots that will fit into a Squier Bullet Mustang?
I have 500 in mines . That’s how they came. One is slighter Under 500 and sounds good but the other which has it almost at 600 sounds punchier . I wouldn’t want anything rated much lower than 500 depending on the pickup . I’m talking about sg juniors
Yessssserrrr higher number pot the less natural resistance when knob is at 10. Less of the bright tones drop through to ground. It’s noticeable if you pay attention to the high end of his strumming.
Answer is no. Higher ohm pots have less signal bleed (into the ground), so you're losing less treble. That makes them sound clearer; you're losing less signal. Therefore bass stays the same
Thanks for watching Brennan! the tuner keys of this guitar are awful and the neck are weak and bends from the string tention, now i have change the tuner and stays in tune
Great comparison, thanks for making this video. But I'll go on record and say the differences between the values demonstrated here is so subtle that most guitarists shouldn't even worry about changing pots. Once you throw all your pedals, amps, and pickups at your guitar, are you really still going to be able to tell what kind of pots it has? Or, couldn't you achieve the same by just turning a knob or two on your amp? Not to mention how it'll come across in a full band mix.
true, but, a 500k pot will allow more HF thru and that can be treated with the tone pot or the amp. Nothing can ADD frequency that is not there to begin with. I would rather have the frequencies to deal with on my own.
Hey guys... i need some help. Im modding my jackson dinky. It has one general tone and one general volume knob. Im gonna put a SD sentient/nazgul pickup kit on there and id like to be able to coil split the nazgul.. i dont really need a tone for the sentient. So it would just be the coil split(tone) for the nazgul and a general volume knob Is this possible and if yes... what do i need for this?? (Im new to modding so im kind of confused)
That should be possible yes, just make sure the nazgul is a 4 conductor pickup and get a push/pull or push/push knob to replace the tone knob. You should be able to find some wiring diagrams with some searching.
@@StamatisStabos hey dumb question, but what would happen if u changed only one pot? For example if the tone stayed at 500k and the volume at 250k? Would we get the sound of the 500k or we would have a mixture?
@@hectorvader4436No mixture if your tone Knobs is at 10. When it's at 10 (for most wiring) the tone knobs aren't really active in the circuit. When you start dialing down your allowing signal to pass through the tone knob through the capacitor then to ground. I hope that makes sense.
@@j.a.s.1416 yeah that really helps, thanks 4 replying! I'm a newbie to electronics and sometimes I can't find the answers 4 all the questions. Thanks again
@@hectorvader4436 I hope you live in a free country and can do whatever you want, that doesn’t stop other people from living well. You can do whatever you want with your guitar, if you don’t like it - redo it. 😉
What would have made this video better would have been had he rolle off on each one so we could hear the way the sound cahnged with the control of the knob.
Hi, my guitar already has a 500k volume pot and a tone pot on humbucker pickup... now I want to change one of the 1 pots to 1 meg... which one is recommended, the volume pot or the tone pot... I am a lead guitar player in rock songs
I wanna clean a crunchy amp with the volume knob in my Les Paul that have a Seymour Duncan 59 in the bridge (7,4k). In this case, which pot is better? 250k or 500k?
Can one somehow have a guitar wired to switch between from one rated capacitor to another? So I could vary my sound At will? So for example two capacitors for volume and switch between the two? Also, are pots made in other metals ? Brass etc? if using brass pots rated at the same as an aluminum for example, how does the brass effect tone compared to aluminum? More mellow? Brighter?
What metal is the casing or the thread of the pot made from has absolutely no effect on tone (or on anything else other than sturdiness). The only thing that affects the sound is the resistance of the pot (and that can and will vary to a fair bit even between the same type of pot because of manufacturing tolerances).
Didn't hear much difference between the 500s and 1000s, so if you have 500s and like it bright, leave them in. If you wanna make it warmer, jump straight to 250s whether you have 500s or 1000s. Or just roll your tone down, lol. But nah, the real question I have is if a treble bleed will make a 250 sound like a 1M or not. I have this idea about having push-pull pots that swap between 1M and 250k, but if my treble bleed is gonna defeat the purpose of the 250k mode, then I might as well not bother with that function and just go all 1M.
Your b-string is quite out of tune, but I found it interesting that it sounded way out of tune with 250k but less so than with 500k and 1M. That makes the video quite worthwhile.
Actually it's part of a low pass filter, so higher frequencies aren't added by higher value pots, but rather high frequencies are cut out by lower value pots. A good example is the Fender Jaguar & Jazzmasters. The rhythm circuit uses only 50k tone pot to cut high frequencies out and get a warm mushy jazz tone, then when you switc to the lead circuit, it uses 1Meg tone pot to retain all that jangly bright tone.
You're fine with that. Look at the Fender Jaguar & Jazzmaster wiring. Rhythm circuit uses 1Meg Vol & 50k tone to get a really warm output. You can mix & match. Changing your tone pot effects your tone drastically more than changing the volume. So if you want to experiment to the fullest with only one pot, pick the tone pot.
test different values yourself with alligator clips. A .01 the tone is brighter, with a .047 it is darker overall. Use a no-load tone pot and adjust from there or set your amps tone stack. You can't ADD frequency once it has been removed. Don't fall for the paper in oil BS, it's all just to get people to buy. The reason paper in oil was used in the 50's was that is all they had!
I think for humbuckers at least (I’d never use more than 250k for single coils) it just adds a bit more nuance. If you had a high output humbucker with lots of low end a higher value might open up the top end a little more

Listening cold like this I can simply say "that's too brassy and metallic" or "I like the clear, ringing highs!"
I have to agree for this video Jeff Nipp, not to be confused with famous fitness/bodybuilding science TH-camr Jeff Nippard 😲
1 meg sounds very open without restraint. I kinda like the 1 meg with proper tone adjustment to get different flavors of tone.
The question is how would it respond to those adjustments
as opposed to the other ones
Switched my pots on my Squier Bullet Mustang to 500k, watching this now I think I definitely made the right choice.
Excellent video. I particularly liked the signal without effects, as it is the most revealing. The differences were smaller than I thought they'd be. Thanks
Not only humbucker guitar comparation but also you should make a single coil guitar comparation too.
Comparison....sorry I miss that
Thanks for the demonstration! The tonal difference is noticeable especially because you played it clean mostly. Great, so I need more pots 😅🤘
Thanks for this. More subtle than I expected.
Glad you enjoyed it!
500K is the perfect allrounder IMO
Agreed 👍 but then he is demonstrating humbuckers not single coils, so the designers got it right first time 🤔
Don't forget that thw cable itself and the amplifier input impedance may reduce the high frequencies in the signal much more significantly then the potentiometers, though especially for single coils the higher pot values may over-exaggerate these frequencies and make the signal sound harsh.
Yeah baby gimme dat 1 meg ice pick. Love it.
But seriously the lows and mids sound great with the 1 meg and you can soften the treble with with EQ.
Great video! the way you show the sound with and without effects is something that doesnt get shown too much on videos but I found yours very very useful.
Glad you liked it!
Warm 250, brite 500, and more brite 1 meg
With 2 knobs 500k pots is 250k resistance between hot and ground. It's parallel resistors circuit
With humbuckers the 250 seemed to choke the tone/ volume where the 500s sounded perfect and the one Meg sounded thin and brittle in the high end.... too much fizz.....
Best video for who wanna searching new mods

Yes sometime i think its all musician nerd gear things, keep rocking! 🎸🎶✨
I was surprised to see I liked the 500 more than the 1 meg. I could hear every string. Would have loved to see 750's compared.
Yes in this case, 500 seemed just right. Heard more character in the sound than 250k, but 1 meg is too bright.
interesting video , im not used to listening to DI guitars but it gives you an idea
Can you explain to me how you manage to change all the electronics so quickly without stopping to play? Really impressive... 😳
its a montage "Montage is a film editing technique in which a series of short shots are sequenced to condense space"
Is this supposed to be a joke?
So for metal playing I probably wanna stick to 500k pots. Right now I feel like most of what I have stock is 250k. Very muddy or dull.
1meg is like putting your guitar in 4k. 250k is lo-fi. Thats why I always install 250k pots in my guitars 😁
Hahahaa great example! accurate 😂👍
Woukdnt 4k be better by comparison though
@@jonw3462 when it comes to sound, not necessarily. All frequencies will be enhanced, thus necessitating for doing more EQ work in the preamp etc.
for pickup single coil which is more suitable
250K it's the most common on stratocasters, I have 1meg on my Jazzmaster who have the biggest single coils and it's super clean
@@StamatisStaboscant you tell men for volume which is better A250k or B250k

Thanks for the vídeo friend. In the test do you changed only volume pots?
4:17 - 4:26
5:19 - 5:29
Thanks, Im glad you like it, i changed both
Bro what type of capacitor value you use in this demo? Can you do some videos that potentiometer and capacitor mixing?
Hi, i think i useing the stock 0,22uf cap, i have make this video about capacitors: th-cam.com/video/cXlek6mn4b0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for a really good video! The CTS pot i bought doesn't fit in the hole in the metal. What brand should I by if I want good pots that will fit into a Squier Bullet Mustang?
Yes fits in every guitar, get some pure vintage fender
The one meg pots have an oscillation. I would rather use a tremelo for that effect rather than having it be the main signal. 500ks.
How about p90 is it good with 250k?
I have 500 in mines . That’s how they came. One is slighter Under 500 and sounds good but the other which has it almost at 600 sounds punchier .
I wouldn’t want anything rated much lower than 500 depending on the pickup . I’m talking about sg juniors
G string is waaay sharp! And you can hear pot values?
Yessssserrrr higher number pot the less natural resistance when knob is at 10. Less of the bright tones drop through to ground. It’s noticeable if you pay attention to the high end of his strumming.
Changed only the volume pot? Or tone as well?
both volume and tone
excellent video ! 1meg sound so much fuller and brighter. do they lose low end bass frequencies though ?
No.
No, is only the effect of hearing. More high frequency energy is present. The low freq energy is the same.
Answer is no. Higher ohm pots have less signal bleed (into the ground), so you're losing less treble. That makes them sound clearer; you're losing less signal. Therefore bass stays the same
@@lurezpe8655 Nope. You're wrong.

1M all day. The tone coomes alive. Try 2M with a really hot humbucker and its instant metal/punk tonse.

????? they sound the same to me ?????
Are copper shaft pots, better than brass and aluminum?
Yes copper is more contuctive
Which one would you suggest me for my lp i usually play heavy clean
500k CTS pots
Honestly 500k is enough for a les paul 50s vintage wiring while I feel 1meg would be too bright
Yes 500k its the best choice for humbuckers 🎸⭐
Now I know that I need a 1MEG in my Strats
Your b-string is quite out of tune, but I found it interesting that it sounded way out of tune with 250k but less so than with 500k and 1M. That makes the video quite worthwhile.
I'd like to hear the difference between a 1 meg vs 50 - 1000 meg to see how more volume or brightness can be achieved.
250 k is very clear
Higher resistance add high frequencies?
Yes, higher resistance pot has less signal going to ground. Not in series with the signal, unless you turn the volume down.
Actually it's part of a low pass filter, so higher frequencies aren't added by higher value pots, but rather high frequencies are cut out by lower value pots.

@@dudemcmann6936 ok that's make sense. So what's the highest resistance i can use in my guitar pot, if i need bright sound?
500👍
is it okay if i use 1Meg only to my volume pot then the tone pots are in 250k?
You should be using both same
You're fine with that. Look at the Fender Jaguar & Jazzmaster wiring. Rhythm circuit uses 1Meg Vol & 50k tone to get a really warm output. You can mix & match. Changing your tone pot effects your tone drastically more than changing the volume. So if you want to experiment to the fullest with only one pot, pick the tone pot.
What cap to use with 500k pot for tone?
Paper in oil tone Cap for sure. It’s all I use now and the roll off seems more linear and sweet in tonality.
test different values yourself with alligator clips. A .01 the tone is brighter, with a .047 it is darker overall. Use a no-load tone pot and adjust from there or set your amps tone stack. You can't ADD frequency once it has been removed. Don't fall for the paper in oil BS, it's all just to get people to buy. The reason paper in oil was used in the 50's was that is all they had!
Can I ask for help, what value of capacitor and resistor should I use in 1 MEG POTS?
in my Jazzmaster i use 0,33uf its the standart, i have try 0,22 and it was too bright
I guess tuning the guitar was just not an option?
more is more
Can you remember what gauge strings you had on this guitar? I’m trying to narrow down everything that will thicken tone, lol
Thank you!
i use the Daddario XL 10/52 you can check all the upgraded i have made to the guitar on my website www.stamatisstabos.com/squier-jazzmaster-upgrade
If I wantes to read, I'd get a book. 😢
I cannot hear any change between the 3 pots in the video
Might be your speakers or headphones
I feel like if I had 1meg pots I’d actually use my tone knobs.
Next fix a connector bock so yo can hot swap the capacitor in different values.
Yes i was thinking to do that but i don't have some tools that needed and that alpha pots are cheap and i don't use them
use push/pull pot with 2 different cap values.
Ya know I REALLY thought it'd make a BIG difference... But at first listen, there just ain't much difference...
I think for humbuckers at least (I’d never use more than 250k for single coils) it just adds a bit more nuance. If you had a high output humbucker with lots of low end a higher value might open up the top end a little more
WARNING:
If you're using active pickups, read their description first - don't just add "the beefiest" potis. I'm speaking of experience
1 meg .... never 250 for this guitar
Man your Focusrite's clipping
Yes, thats because the 1MEG have more high frequencies from the others, its not that bad, i keep it on the same level in all the test
If ain't broken...
You show me nothing doing this test with effects, the only true test is clean from the guitar to the clean quality, with no effects amp!
Thanks for watching blind friend! with no effects starts at 05:06
Now do all those into a good tube amp. Completely different sound.
Yes, the digital signal is more accurate from the unstable electric old amps
He gets a great tone out of whatever he’s playing through here.
add pedals also changes the tone.
for humbucker 500k or up is better
the tests are not showing enough difference to make any difference evident...
so boring you can't get much out of it...
