These have been around a while. I put one on the volume pot of my Telecaster
and like it says, when I reduce my volume knob the high end no longer bleeds off
staying essentially the same brightness at all volumes.
Can anyone think of a reason I wouldn't put this on my Goodrich pedal
that I use for steel?
Here's a link to a video that explains how it works:

I have done this for years to my guitars, as well as to both a Fender and a Goodrich volume pedal.
(Don't be surprised if this post or a duplicate eventually shows up in the Electronics section.) |

Naah, if you feel the need to correct for loss in cables and your sense of hearing at lower levels, then I cannot see why this shouldn't work. Just find the variant and component values that suit your sound-chain, and solder it in there. |

| Just my opinion, but I think a smaller value would work better. I find the .001 in a Telecaster does too much--more than just preserving highs, the sound actually gets brighter when the volume is turned down. I personally wouldn't want that for steel. I'd try something like 250pf to 500pf. |

Good point Brint, I'll compare and advise.

Hello John,
Do you use a buffer out of your pickup?
The tone will be different without a buffer because the cap will shift the resonant peak down in frequency slightly.
Test to see if you can hear the difference.
Just a thought

I agree with Brint. Start with a 220 pfd on the volume control. Also try with a 100pfd and a 330pfd. This should give you a good range to work in.
Please let us know how it worked, and on what pickup and brand of volume pedal you tested.
(I had to use a 330 on Sho-BUd pedal, 220 on an old DeArmond, and 100 on my Goodrich and Dekley pedals. I can't understand the physics of why they differ - they just do.
Experiment.)
Thanx,
Jim |
