Guitar Tone Capacitor Values My Faves
Today, I would like to present my favorite values of tone caps in guitar wirings. It will be the selection for a common type of a tone control: volume pot + capacitor. It's something well known from most of guitars on the market.
If you are thinking about changing the tone cap in your guitar, this short article can be helpful.
This is how I describing my two main purposes of using the potentiometer based guitar tone control:
A:
For soft, warm and jazzy smooth tone, or for the „woman tone”.
Works nice with a well tuned pot - not on full – if you want warmth and smoothness. If you want to get the „woman tone”, it can work well on the maximum turn-on.
B:
Good for making the tone a little bit smoother and well balanced. Works nice if the knob is turned only slightly. Good for small interference of the tone control circuit.
