I've read up on this mod and also have it installed in my '94 LP Studio. The original specs were for 250k pots and single coils, a 0.001uF cap in series with a 130k resistor. Applying this to humbuckers, most (including myself) have converted that to a .001uF cap with a 240k resistor with 500k pots for humbuckers. That makes sense since the resistor value for the single coils is roughly half of the pot value, so the same would go for 500k pots.
I've been reading that it's a good idea to tune the capacitor value to the capacitance of the guitar cable. In this mod circuit, what does changing the value of the capacitor actually do? I'm getting ready to install this in my other humbucker LP type guitars but I wanted to mess with the different values to see what works best but I don't really know what the different values will produce, electronically.
What values have you experimented with and settled on for this mod with humbuckers/500k pots?
