Treble Bleed Circuit Modification

- In this video I install and test a Treble Bleed Circuit. This is a follow-up to the LP Page Wiring Harness I installed. When rolling back the Volume Knob on the guitar there was a large high-end loss noticed. Installing this easy and simple circuit helped with that problem.
Thanks to Majd Zarhani for pointing this out and inspiring me to find a solution.

I’ve been using treble bleeds for years. I never understood why I was using them, but I knew it made a difference. This is the most helpful explanation I’ve seen! Great video!!
Thank you! It's such a simple mod, with great results. Thanks for watching.
Excellent and well done! I’ve used a treble bleed before on my Les Paul’s. However , they were what they call modern wiring. I’ve since wired my Les Paul to 50’s wiring. It would be interesting to see a comparison in tone with 50’s wiring and with standard wiring. Everyone seems to think that there is a tone difference , but I’m not hearing it ! Thanks again
I haven't messed around with 50's wiring, but maybe I should. To be honest, I don't use my volume or tone near enough anyway. I'm stuck in my high gain rut of turning everything on 10 all the time. lol Thanks for watching.
FINALLY someone who marks there knob positions god i legit have looked through video after video looking for answers and you gave me all the answers to what i needed, thanks JRG guitars.
It is the only way to accurately track where I set the knob every time. It make it a lot easier to know what I was doing. Thanks for watching.
Both kits use a .001uF cap. StewMac resistor is 230K. The other brand is 250K.
Excellent post thank you 👍
Thank for watching!
Awesome video and very informative
Thanks for all the hardwork for a lot of people you saved a lot of time
Thanks for watching. It was very eye opening for me.
0:30 fine luthier tool selection over your right shoulder(viewers left) …
Sometimes you need force the issue. lol
Excellent evaluation of the circuit. It makes me wonder how 1000 ohm pots would compare to the circuit bleed that you have.
That gets above my technical knowledge, which is pretty limited. thanks for watching.
good vid!
Thanks!
Very informative! Everything one needs to know, thank you so much! I will look Into a 50s wiring as a comparison also!
Let me know how the 50s wiring goes.
@@jrgguitars3620 will do my friend
@@jrgguitars3620 whats the EQ software you're using? I want to make a video comparison and its a great idea to show the difference in frequencies!
thank you
@@majd.z That was Cakewalk DAW software. It's a free download, but for Windows only (no Mac support). I use Cakewalk as my DAW for recording. I didn't record for the video though. I just enabled the EQ and setup the track to monitor the input and I used screen capture software to "capture" the live EQ.
Here's a link: www.bandlab.com/products/cakewalk?lang=en
If you're a Mac user I'm sure you can find a free DAW and use it the same way. Here's some: midination.com/daw/free-daw/best-free-daw/
I can't wait to see your video!
Great video….very informative. Background music is too load and distracting
Thanks for watching! It's been a learning process with making videos. I like the addition of some background music, but I do keep the level a little hot of some of my videos. Especially some of the older videos, they can be pretty raw. Thanks!
Show, man
Did you try the caps without the resistors? They will clean up low volume even more - would be great to see?
I only tried the ones in the video. To be honest, it was my first time using a treble bleed. I've always pegged my volume and tone pot and never had a need for the treble bleed. Only recently have I become more "refined" and touched either knob. lol.
Wow. Thanks for the detail! Quick question. Do I need a specific value treble bleed cap/resistor for a 1 meg volume pot ? 🤔
Hmmm. That is a good question. I do not know the answer. I'm sure the guys at 920D would know the answer. usually the 1 meg pots are used for active pickups, right? Are you seeing that same problem with the active pickups?
@@jrgguitars3620 hey hey! Thanks for getting back to me. I have passive humbuckers. My jaguar came stock with 1 meg volume and 1 meg tone. They are used for a brighter tone is all. I actually gave it a shot and installed a mojo tone volume mod I ordered off sweetwater. It was a 220K resistor in parallel with a 471pf capacitor aaaand
It works just great ! 😄🤷♂️ hope this helps other people 🙏
@@pizzaROX Very nice. I am happy it worked out well. I really like the mod. It was cheap and easy. It's not the last guitar I will use it in. Thanks for watching!
So, does Jimy Page wiring (21 sound) had treble bleed and what kind pots are used.
Regards
The kit that I used has 500K pots. There was no treble bleed in it, but the addition was cheap, easy and had great results. Thanks for watching!
hi, which program do you use for visualizing frequencies?
That was the stock EQ that comes with Cakewalk DAW software. Free download!
A500k or B500k for volume pots?
Thanks for watching. I cannot see the markings on the pots. the push/pull switch is obscuring it. The 920D website doesn't say anything about it either. Sorry, I just can't tell what it is.
Definitely A
Just put thumb-bleeders under the knobs and you won't need the tape. lol
