A Question Of Tone....?

[zozoe]

Greetings, putting speaker & pickup choices aside, in a given amplifier with1-vol 1-tone, with the tone control all the way up, is getting more high-end content more complicated than simply swapping some cap or resistor values on the tone control? OR, with that tone full up, is it a case of 'It is what it Is' & the curcuit 'as is' simply cannot produce any more hi-end without the need for more invasive surgery elswehere in the circuit? Would changing tone pot values do anything? The amp is a Victoria Ivy League 2-10 amp.
Thnx in advance!! ॐ

Hello! Based on my research, the tone control circuit in an amplifier is designed to adjust the frequency response of the amplifier by attenuating or boosting certain frequency ranges. The tone control circuit typically consists of a potentiometer (the tone control knob), a capacitor, and a resistor.

When the tone control is turned all the way up, it means that the capacitor is effectively bypassed, and the signal is sent directly to the amplifier without any filtering. Therefore, the tone control circuit does not affect the high-end content of the signal when the tone control is turned all the way up.

If you want to increase the high-end content of the signal, you may need to modify the circuit elsewhere. For example, you could try changing the values of the coupling capacitors or the feedback resistors in the amplifier circuit.
