BlueLesPaul2006 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I put Seymour Duncans hotrodded humbucker set in my LP. The tone is nice and clear but i want to smooth out the highs and darken up the sound. if i add 250k pots for the tone and keep my 500k pots for the volume will that work? the tone pots will be 250k push pulls so i can tap the coils. what do you guys think?

Thermionik Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 . . Wouldn't just turning the tone controls down slightly do the job - that way you can turn them back up to compensate if you need/have to play through a darker amp at any stage.....

brad1 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 You can vary the sound of the guitar by changing the tone control capacitor. A higher value cap will cut more highs, a lower value cap will cut less and be more subtle. On my '06 G400, I recently had new wiring installed, plus I had it rewired so that each control only works with a specific pu. I also had .050 caps put in for volume and tone. I could tell a big difference. The highs roll off very nicely, and it brings a much darker overall tone to the guitar. I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
