Tone control on Guitars

[Kimster]

I hope someone could help me out here.. I am planing to remove my tone pot on my guitar, how would i wired it so my sound will be d same as having my tone on 10.

Add a resistor with the same value as the tone pot you are taking out between the hot signal from the switch and ground.

EDIT: thanks to Marcel for catching my goof! You definitely need to put the existing tone cap in series with the resistor

didn't you forget the cap in your chain?

Yeah you have to replace the tone pot (for example 500K) with a 500K resistor. Beause the pot has 500k when it's on 10.
I like to simply use no tone cicuit at all. It gives you a bit more highs.

thankz for your feebacks..
hey Marcel i did tried and remove the capacitor totaly.. i get a nice hot sounding sound.. but do i still need a resistor cause.. loud buzz n hums is heard when playing on high gains

ummm.....thats doesn't have to do anything with the resistor...more like bad wiring to me....

 

[Marcel]

it shouldn't add hum. I just disconnect the hot lead going to the tone pot direct at the tone pot and it did not add hum though i tihnk it's not the best way to disconnect it because: now there is a peace of lead without any use.... it think i have too fix this some day

maybe you disconnect something that should going to ground?
