OK,I don't know if thats what its called or not.
But I remember seeing a mod that makes it so your guitar doesn't muddy up when you rol the volume back.
Anyone have any info??
One of my strats gets kinna muffled when you roll off the Vol past like 8.5 and I wanna try this mod.

what kind of caps are you using? also what kind of pots? An RS Kit goes along way for fairly cheap...

CTS 250K pots and switch.The cap is what ever was stock for the tones in the guitar in 79'.
What do you guys suggest for bleed cap and resistor for a strat with a DiMarzio Super in bridge with 250K pots.Guitar muddys up evan on the single coils below 8.5.
