An easy mod for your volume control to get more uniform guitar tone from 1 to 10.
Hand-built here in our shop with a Koa Speer 150K-ohm 1/4-watt resistor (1% tolerance) in parallel with a Vishay .001uF ceramic disc capacitor. Wire this simple mod between the input and output lugs of your guitar volume pot. When you roll down your volume you lose mostly treble and this circuit helps to retain it. Get more uniform tone from 1 to 10, and a more rounded sound at low volume.
These are the same specs as Stewmac ($10.29 each), in fact for a long time, I used to buy the same component parts from them and make them up in my shop.
One of the main advantages of mine, is that the wires line up directly with the input and output lugs, which makes them easier to install. With a lot of sellers, you have to bend and shape the wires to make them fit.
