2 Guitar Volume Treble Bleed Bypass Kits
Two new old stock MIDWEC Type uf ( pico farad) 160V 5% tolerance capacitors and two 150k resistors Metallized poly film 3/8" long with 2.25" axial leads Their small size makes installation easy, even in the smallest control cavity This kit is for passive electric guitars. Many times when you turn the volume down using your guitar’s volume pot, a lot of the high frequency is lost. This simple “fix” will help your guitar sound the same no matter what setting your volume control is at. By placing a small capacitor between the input and output of the volume control, you allow the high frequencies to bleed through to the output. The resistor smoothes out the pot’s taper and the cap lets the highs escape the pot’s resistance when you turn down. This kit contains two poly film capacitors which I’ve found have a great sound. Any type of cap can be used, but I like these small caps. I use these in my own guitars. This kit has detailed, easy to understand directions for installation, with pictures and diagrams. I can send the components and you can solder the components together before installation, or, I can solder them together for you. Your choice, you just have to let me know. Some people just want to use the capacitor by itself. Some want to wire them in series. I like the components wired in parallel. You get two new old stock.uf MIDWEC capacitors and two 150k resistors. This kit can be used with humbuckers or single coil setups. Some manufacturers of pickups have suggested using from.001uf / pf to.uf / pf caps for the treble bleed circuit. Others have suggested from a 220pf to a 750pf. Only you know what you want your guitar to sound like. All components are brand new. This is an easy mod. All you need is a soldering iron and access to the back of your volume control. Free Shipping in the USA Worldwide USPS First Class International shipping Check our other listings
