Distortion w/ 250k pot

[Jackson Distortion]

Anyone tried this or a similar bright pickup with this pot?

Will it change the characteristic of the pickup or just warm it up?

I keep hearin' people say they did this to thier pickups and love them. I use the Distortion pickup and the grind is great, but when I record it, it's a bit too bright and without rounding it off at the board, I'd like to keep the grind, but just round the top end off a bit with the 250k installment.

ANY info regarding this process is greatly appreciated.

Forever in your debt (or until I decide what to do), JD

I run my Distortion with a 250k pot. In fact, I run most of my humbuckers with 250's. My situation is similar to yours. I run into a mixer, then into an SS amp and into studio monitors that have tweeters and midrange. So the little extra "smoothness" is desirable to me.

So, the grind stays and the highs get smoothed out?

That would be desirable. I'll probably have a guy I know install this, just curious though, what is involved in the process?

Thanks for help man, dig it.

Also, to throw this out to everyone, are the highs now fuzzy in 250k or still clear just smooth.

I guess since Seymour Duncan himself has done this I shouldn't be worried, but tone is very sensitive thing, will it de-Distortionize the Distortion?
