I'm not sure where to post this, about resistors & capacitors.

[jeremy]

id say a third of my guitars have a .015 cap for the tone control. theres one or two with .01, most of the rest have .022. cap value changes the knee frequency of the roll off, smaller value, higher frequency. for me that means keeping more upper mids while rolling off just the higher treble

Thanks, this is what I'm looking for.

No resistors?

no sir. i dont like treble caps, but i use my tone control a lot. volume control too. some people leave volume and tone at 10 all the time, thats not me. seldom do i have things on 10

for real, bro got kinda tilted too quickly, let's all calm down

Oh and I use guitar electronics.com for most of my needs, they do good work over there

I'm interested in the prostitute and clown story.

honestly not much of a story. I merely watched it happen from my 3rd story apartment while arguing with my Greek neighbor about the chicken coop he built on the roof. I kept telling him it wasn't up to code and that the birds were gonna fall 4 stories to their deaths but he said "that's why they have wings" and I'm like "chickens aren't that kind of bird" and they would get hit by a car or a stroller even if they did land safely. Every Greek guy who owns a building in St Louis tries to put a coop on top of it, it's just a thing. We stopped arguing when we saw the clown and kinda stood in stunned silence to watch, trying to figure out what was happening. I think it was trying to score meth, but he went to the wrong street corner. Anyway, medium story short, clowns bleed red just like the rest of us

Same here, I always dial my tone with volume/tone on 7-8 and go up or down depending on the sound I want.

I'm in Canada so I'm ordering from solomusicgear.com or nexgenguitars.ca

Bought a bunch of 22 caps back some time ago
use them for evrting

if you put two in parallel , it becomes a 44 for singles
put two in series they become an 11 for the higher roll off

wonder what the effect of pairing them uniquely ?
say a series pair combiined with another single in parallel
the math says thats a 33 , wonder how that would sound?

you can get the parts for the treble bleed (several kinds) or just get the pre-made ones on Amazon for $2 each

every thing from Amazon
I have never had Amazon complain about a return or refund , ever
and I used them to by books for college back in the 80s
love those billionaires

This is eerily similar to the time I was arguing my Italian neighbor who insisted upon building a chicken sedan on the roof.

I keep .033, .022, .and .015 caps to try out with pickups. I just bought a big pile of them from mouser electronics many years ago. Most of the time .022 works fine with singles or humbuckers. I find that I often like .015 caps on the bridge though - it can provide kind of a mid boost as you turn it down that is cool for solos. I have one bright sounding guitar with single coils that really likes to have a .033 in it. Higher or lower than that range and I find I don't get as much use of the tone knob.

 

[solspirit]

I just ordered many assorted caps and resistors from Amazon.

 

[Chistopher]

I forget my exact numbers, but I usually do 10nF in series with I think 10k.

I ordered some blender pots to play around with too.

Cool, i just diy the pots that fall into the negative side of the tolerance ratings into no-load pots that i use for blender job. A proper detent pot like you ordered feels better to use though because you feel it when you use it.
