For years I preached against Treble Bleeds…and let’s be honest they aren’t for everyone, but I’ve discovered in some of my guitars I enjoy them. After seeing other people make something similar I thought I’d like to make a variable treble bleed that allowed you to choose from a variety of common parallel cap & resistor combinations. With no switches turned on this treble bleed adds a 680pf cap in parallel with your volume pot, but check out the switch setting images for some of the options of this simple treble bleed you can install. Includes Variable Bleed, Double Sided Adhesive Tape, and Wire to solder to Volume Pot.

Caveat, if you like your guitar volume pots taper or interaction with your board/guitar amp you may NOT like what a treble bleed brings to the table, but if you find your volume pot missing high end retention and want to try a Treble Bleed our Variable Treble Bleed may be just the option for you!
