Mid and Treble pot mods

I knowthat you can change out the mid pot from a 22k linear to a 50k linear to get a bit more control over the mids. Can the same be applied to the treble pot? Increasing from a 220k linear to something a bit larger? Like one of Georges 250k linear or something a bit higher? I'm not looking to go into shrill mode just something where I can get a bit more control over the highs in the tone circuit.

Going to 50k on the mid pot gives you a nice low mid push. Good mod.

Anyone know the address fro Duncans site with the tone stack program? It lets you change values and see the results in a graph. Very cool. And a free download.

I've got that program I will mess around with it tonight after I get home and perform my honey-do chores.

Going to pick up a 50k pot for the mids tonight. George what about changing from 220k stock on the treble to 250k? Is there a noticable difference? Looking at several schematics of Super Leads the treble is 220k like mine on a couple while the rest is 250k.

No was going to Rat Shack it so I could hear how it sounded before buying a quality pot.
