SSL-2 SSL-2 SSL5 wiring diagram - Is this right?

[GuitarStv]

SSL2 neck + mid, tapped SSL-6 bridge:

I'm trying to get the following:
- Treble bleed
- Lower value capacitor for tone 2
- Tone 1 on neck / tone 2 on bridge with bridge SSL-6 tapped
- Tone 1 on neck / tone 2 on mid with bridge SSL-6 full





So, am I doing anything stupid here? Rather find out now than after the soldering iron's heated up.

Thanks!

looked quickly and i think you are good? interesting tone setup

Figured I'd try it that way first as a lot of people seem to find the SSL-6 too dark with a tone control, but a regular strat bridge sound definitely needs a tone for me. This way I kinda get traditional strat wiring with the SSL-6 and Eric Johnson style wiring with the tap. The 500k pot is because that's the value of push-pull I've got lying around (I might put a 100k resistor in parallel to drop the value down if it sounds funny). Giving a 10 or 15 nF cap on the bridge as I find that I don't use the bridge tone control all that much, and was hoping this would make it more useful to me.

I'm lazy, so want to wire as many options as possible initially to get a feel for what sounds I like the best. Should be simple to move some wires, change cap values, or cut the treble bleed out to tweak later if necessary.


How does changing the values in the treble bleed work exactly? Is a bigger/smaller capacitor value going to make it brighter/darker as the volume goes down? Is a bigger/smaller resistor going to do the same?
