Its interesting what you say.....as the treble bleed would seem to be even moreso this case than 50's wiring by your description. 50's wiring keeps treble to be sure - but the overall treble content is reduced as volume is reduced. Treble bleed simply keeps the same treble as in the full signal - so you get this massive treble spike.

Yeah. That's why I prefer a very small bright cap. One that makes very little difference. Extremely subtle with the 180 pf cap. Almost like none at all.

This issue can be easily avoided with a resistor of ~50% of the pots value in series with the treble bleed cap.

Many ways to skin a cat...as they say.
