Treble Bleed.............
Posted: Mon Apr 24, 2017 10:27 am
I popped the hood on my ASAT Special this AM to see what value tone cap was used and lo and behold I see another cap soldered to the volume pot in the same position a treble bleed would go but no resistor in conjunction with the cap.
If this is intended to be a treble bleed it's not a very effective one since the tone rolls off immediately and significantly as soon as the volume is rolled back. Can someone tell me just what they've done there? I can easily replace it with the same treble bleed I use on all of my Teles but before I do I wanted to know just what part that cap is playing in the circuit.
Thanks guys.
