Greetings. I have made many modifications to the circuitry of electric guitars, over 32 years. The first of these was very simple. It's called a "bright" cap, or a treble by-pass. I use it on all of my personal guitars.
It is a .001uf cap placed across the in and out legs of the volume pot.
This might be a "dumb" question, but I am new at making a formal attempt to learn some theory besides Ohm's Law, and new to this forum.
I haven't learned the "ropes" yet. Question : "Why is treble "lost" or attenuated by turning a guitar's volume pot down" ? Any advice or opinions are very welcome. Thanks in advance for your time.
