1Meg tone pots with HB-1s...what caps?

Post by jakeboy »

My HB-1s in my 650D were too muddy from the start with much natural amp OD & distortion. I changed the Vol pots to 500Ks & the tone cap to.01s. A bit better but not there....now I read about using a 1Meg tone pot with 500K vol pots...I'm gonna try it. What tone caps should I use? The original .047s? or .022?

If this doesn't work I'm gonna have Pete Biltoft wind me a set of firebird minis to fit a Ric cover or try Hi-gains...

Thanks!

Yes, I believe .047s or .022s will do just fine.
