So....500k pots for everyone!

Re: So....500k pots for everyone!

I’ve seen at least 3 different versions of the Fender Tele dark circuit in various schematics for broadcaster, Esquire and telecaster. When I tried the one with two caps and a resistor it actually didn’t remove all the treble. It seemed to leak the highest treble part of the signal and the result was kind of an arch top sound of you strum up by the neck. You could hear the pluck of the pick on the strings. Very useful, switching from rhythm to lead.

The Esquire and Tele dark positions were different, and some monkeying went on with them over the years – but more with the Esquire than with the Tele. The typical Tele dark position is basically just like running your stock tone control all the way down. (The Eldred Esquire circuit is this also, but with a much lower valued cap – less than 1/10 of the capacitance used in the Tele dark circuit.)

What is all this Tele stuff you guys are discussing?!?!?!?

I'm talking about balls-to-the-wall 15k+ Ceramic metal guitar!

Going off topic. Like all guitarists do. Something to do with all that improv we do.

I went from 250 pots to 500 snd now my JCM800 sounds like its hooked up to 460v 3-phase.

'Twas me.
Someone mentioned "modern wiring" for a Strat and Tele and I wondered what that meant. We can now return to placing your ceramic 15k balls to the wall...:headbang:
