ok, so i fixed my little wiring problem on the tone pot i had earlier, in case you saw that. now i have a new problem. the tone knob works the wat it should now, except that it always sounds a little dark and muddy. even when it is turned all the way up to 10, i feel like i need to turn the knob up more. what could this problem come from? i have 2 humbuckers, 2 volume, 2 tone and a 3way lever. i followed the schematics for the setup on this site
so some possibilities are:
capicator value. i have a .047uf capicator on the tone knob, but i didnt think that the caps effected the tone when the knob was at 10. somoeone please correct me if i am wrong here.
wiring problem: probably somewhere in the tone pot area if there is one, however i followed the diagram in the link above.
pot damaged: i heard that you can damage a pot from overheating it with an iron while trying to get solder to stick to it.
do any of these sound like they could be a cause to my problem? any help would be great. Also, if you can think of something else that might cause this problem, please let me know. thanks.
