Gordy01 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 But.....they add the ability to tailor the sound for different songs, using the same guitar. You don't want the same tone or sound for every song, do you? Or have to buy a different guitar for every sound you might want? True, some of this can be accomplished with amp settings, but having to go to the amp for every setting would be tiresome at best. Or, have to buy a different amp for each sound? Or if the room robs trebles because of plush chairs and draperies, what then? Too many reasons to HAVE the extra control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChopperJohn Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I don't know, the buy a different guitar for every different sound you want sounds kind of like a plan. Don't know if my wife will believe that or not.......... Right now my 339 PRO covers about everything i need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordy01 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I have a tone control on my guitar that has a "Straight Through" setting. When you turn it to ten, there is a detent that means you have reached the point where the tone control is effectively out of the tone loop. Same thing with more options.

SNick Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Gordy01 got it right - a no-load tone pot works great and opens up the tone options. Wilshire you forgot the amp options on tuning your amp for the neck pickup and letting the tone controls on the guitar work the bridge pickup. You closed your tone options to just one sound. It is always easier to control tone from the guitar than the amp. Watch a few Jeff Beck vid's until you figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally thought it sounded a little harsh, so I added a cap and fixed resistor to simulate a tone pot turned all the way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Ahh... Another opportunity to explain how tone and volume controls work. And why my original post is correct. But alas, just not worth the trouble. Enjoy the mud fellas. If you knew how they worked, you would know that most pups were designed to have the loads of the volume and tone pots included to sound the way they were designed to. I am not saying that taking them out is not a valid thing to do if you want that particular alteration to the sound, but it can't mean it is across-the-board better.

Two pickups, one selector switch, one master volume knob --- that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
