Members =JL= Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 ...Hi, folks, just a bit of background, I always run treble bleed caps on all my guitars, of varying values, depending on the application. I just installed a pre-wired loom with varitone from an Epi Lucille into an old semi I had lying around. So far so good, everything works as normal. The problem is, when I fit treble bleed caps to the volume pots, they don't make any difference. I've tried different values from 470 to 2000pf, but nothing works. I was using 470pf in this guitar with the same pickups, and it was the perfect value, getting slightly brighter as I turned down.The pots are the same value as before, the only thing different is the varitone, I'm guessing it's interacting with the pots in some way? Any ideas, before I junk the varitone I've just drilled a big hole for?Thanks in advance, JL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elias Graves Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 The way the Varitone works, it could be doing something wonky with your other controls maybe? I have no idea how a treble bleed and varitone will interact. I've not seen that done together. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Padrino Posted June 14, 2010 Members Share Posted June 14, 2010 i thought the varitone cuts the mids out doesnt it? so installing the treble bleed caps combined with the volume loss you'll already be taking, you might not be able to hear it?I may be confused at to what your problem is though sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
