Quick pot/capasitor question

[Mertay]

I like my guitars tone more when the tone pot is rolled off a bit. Its dual humbucker, 500k push-pull pots, has treble bleed, .022uF 223K Orangedrop tone cap. .

I'd like the tone I get when tonepot is full on (so I won't risk accidentally turning the knob). Should I try changing the capasitor first or the pot values?

Start by turning the knobs on front of the amp. Great advice here: http://www.seymourduncan.com/blog/the-tone-garage/stop-ignoring-those-knobs

Re: Quick pot/capasitor question

You could:

A. Get rid of the treble bleed
B. Take the knob off the tone control
C. Measure the tone pot resistance when rolled off, buy a resistor of that value, remove the tone pot and hard wire the resistor in
D. Put a rough cast mag in your pickup(s)
E. Use lower value volume pots like 300k or 250k, maybe with the treble bleed back in
F. Find a darker pickup
