Wiring question

[BloodRose]

Im going to rewire a Carvin and noticed that stock, there is a cap running between the vol and tone pots as is normal, but also another cap on the volume pot between 2 lugs.. Is this to bleed off highs or what? There is one on each volume. (axe has to vol and 2 tone)
Thank you!

Re: Wiring question

I can't remember the exact name of that mod, but its to restore highs as you turn down the volume. Its normal.

All of my Peavey's have that mod.

Like shown here:

Treble bleed mod

Re: Wiring question

I think you are talking about a volume kit. It consists of a small cap and resistor that is connected to two lugs on the volume pot that does what ArtieToo said.

Thanks guys! Thats what I thought. Question is, is it neccessary? Some of my axes dont have it. I have to change the pots on this one as the neck pup volume is stuck WFO..

Re: Wiring question

I would try the 50's wiring mod instead, I prefer that to the other types of treble bleed mods I've tried.

You can use this thread as a reference:

But the 50's mod just means moving the tone control connection point from the end of the volume control, to the wiper. Or, you could just connect it the hot of the output jack. Its the same thing.
