So I wired in a couple of 750K resistors to the pots in my explorer (500K pots) to bring it down to 300k. Wow, THAT is the sound of those classic riffs we all know. The Burstbuckers sounds rather pedestrian with the 500K pots IMO, but taking them down to 300K makes them bite and respond better, rather than being wide open and bland.
So I was thinking on my other guitars with 500K pots...what about 400K? First of all, what size resistor would I need for that, and has any one experimented with 400K pots? At what intervals would you notice a change in sound, every 50 or 100K? This is kinda nerdy stuff but it seems you can really affect the sound (and response) with pot resistance.
