Through the magic of 3D printing and lots of dickery I have been able to fit a Tele hot rail into the neck of my Blacktop stratocaster (yes it is the bridge version, so it's wildly unbalanced with the APH-2B in the bridge - it did used to live in the bridge but I decided I was happier with it in the neck). It used to be fantastic for thick rhythm tone when I had my AC15C1, although I was never entirely happy with that amp.
Since then I sold the AC15C1, and after a long break from playing rewired the guitar (the 5-way switch was dying) and bought a Blackstar HT1 + Sansamp 21 Classic. The APH-2B sounds killer through this combination, but the STHR-1B sounds appauling compared to how it did with the AC15C1 - it literally sounds like the tone knob has been turned off completely at max setting, to the point I thought I'd screwed up the wiring but I don't see anything wrong.
It's currently running a 500K volume pot, 500K tone pot and a 0.022uF cap I believe. I've ordered some 0.1uF caps to try on suggestion from another forum to brighten it up, but until they get here does anyone have any other ideas what could be wrong?
