  • Volume pot with a no-load tone pot

    Does the value of the volume pot matter if you have a no-load tone pot?

    Definition of a no-load tone pot:
    When turned all the way up, the pot acts like a switch and make a 100% contact at the one end. i.e. Treble doesn't bleed anymore. My American Tele came with it.

    Last night I loaded an Alnico 2 Pro in the bridge and a Seth Lover in the neck.

    Yes it does because the signal is still going through the volume pot.

      But does it matter in regards to how much treble bleed you get?

      If I have a Alnico 2 Pro and a Seth Lover Neck (nickle cover and wax potted) in my Tele, plus a no load pot for the tone pot, then what value of pot do I need? 500K? 250K? Or will I not notice a difference?

      Also note that I have a push pull pot setup to make the Seth either single coil (screw coil) or humbucker. Side note, the single coil neck sounds just like a normal tele neck.
