I replaced the tone pot in a Schecter ('96 MIK)......500k factory Alpha for a 500K CTS; the old pot had a definant "cross-over spot"...the new one is much smoother in the transition.......I put a .22 cap on it Vs a .33 or .47 so the bleed would'nt be as pronounced.
My Tone control sounds like a wet wool blanket over the sound, that's the best way to describe it......going from treble cut-off to wide open.....envision a wet wool blanket being slowly raised from your amp while you're playing..that's what it sounds like.
I have to cut my trebs sometimes, and use the volume and tone to take the "bite" off....I use the #4 position on a 5-way switch a lot, and pick ups are a Dirty Fingers bridge and JB Bridge PU in the neck.
Would changing caps change that wool-blanket sound?
