Haywire Custom Treble Bleed Circuit Modification
Would you like being able to use the volume control without sacrificing tone?
A Treble Bleed Modification
allows you to roll off your volume without losing the highs. We'll add a
treble bleed circuit to your guitar. It will preserve high end
frequencies and improve the taper when rolling back your volume control.
Electricity
searches for ground. We manipulate it and make it do things on its way
there. When you turn your guitar's volume down, you're allowing some of
the current to go to ground as opposed to going out to the amp to make
sound.
As
the volume decreases, the frequencies that leave first are the high
ones, which make the tone seem muddy and thick, without the "edge" on
it. A way to avoid this is by using what's called a treble bleed
circuit. It's called this because it prevents the treble frequencies
from bleeding off. It allows some of the treble frequencies (the ones
we want to keep) to walk around the volume pot to the output, rather
than go through it and get lost to ground.
At Haywire Custom Shop
we simply install a 220K resistor in parallel with a 470pf capacitor.
If you'd like-we can add one to your guitar to preserve high end
frequencies and improve the taper when turning your volume down. There
is no charge for this option-simply let us know you'd like it added when
your purchasing your new Haywire Guitar or if we're just repairing
yours!
