Members ksl Posted August 6, 2020 Members Share Posted August 6, 2020 Hi & hope all are well. A quick question,,,, I noticed on all of my pickguard I've been making, positions 2 & 4 sound like you threw a blanket over the speaker. SD Surfers, SD Texas Hots, Little59, anything. 1/3/5 all sound great, but 2/4 loose all the top end & quack. Everything's in phase, & basically cool except for that veil. The only thing these pickguards all share in common, is a Blender Pot. I have a master Vol., Master Tone, & the blender. Before I start operating on everything, what the heck could it be? My volume pots are already 300k, but does the value of the single tone control pot matter? And/or does the Blender value matter? Thanks,Kenny 🕉🎶 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted August 8, 2020 Members Share Posted August 8, 2020 Sometimes if your settings are on the warm side, throwing the switch can put the tone over the line. Solution, moar treble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gardo Posted August 8, 2020 Members Share Posted August 8, 2020 I've had blend pots on a few different guitars. One thing they had in common was a loss of treble .This would be especially noticeably in the 2&4 pos. I used no load tone pots to help compensate but eventually removed the blend pots. If you really like the blend pot you could consider 500k tone pots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
