lincsman Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I have been looking at treble bleeds for one of my Ibanez RG's ,as it sounds horrible with the volume down, I heard good and bad things about them, like don't but them on a strat as it makes them sound to bright, Has anyone here fitted one?
The_Nuge Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Hi!I have a Kramer DMZ2000 which has stock treble bleed, and that works really well. I also think PRS has a treble bleed, mine certainly stays very clear when turning the volume down. Certainly nothing bad in those two guitars :-)Es
Ting Ho Dung Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Maybe I should yank mine. It's made of 2 resisters.
dragan Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 probably depends what frequency it passes above , or the low cut off frequeny . and / in relation to the sound of the guitar /pups. different value caps work at different frequencies , I played with a guitarist in the 80s that changed them weekly tryin to get the "right " amount of highs into his rolled back sound
rcgpny1 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 It really depends on your specific pups and how bright you want to keep it when you rollback. A cap at about .001uf is a good place to start...

Uncle Thor's Hamer Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Resistor 2 changes the taper of the upper pot. It acts in parallel with the variable resistance of the pot.I think Resistor 1 sets the cutoff freq of the tone control at max treble setting.
Jakeboy Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 I have found that changing to a 50s style wiring does a good job of retaining highs when I lower the volume knob. As someone who uses his vol knob for cleans and dirt, this is an important feature. Google 50s style wiring for more on this simple mod.
