Great video! Would love to see a another one on swapping wafers in stacked pots for custom values / tapers.

I prefer the circular file since it leaves a notch that you can feel when you're on 10 and when you hit the carbon track

Do you know what, I think I do too! Just feels a little more satisfying! Paul

Amazing video. Thank you! For a coil split blend mod, do you also need a no load pot?

Very detailed instruction! Does it work with 50s wiring on les paul though?

Should work on most pots to make a no load tone control, tone control completely isolated at 10. May need a bit of thought to work out a useful way of producing a blend circuit on a two pick up guitar though.

Hello, I have a fender Excelsior amp. Was going to do the tone mod. Do you feel a no load would work for an amp? At 10 it would take out the tone?

What I'd you cut it further back? Would you get a more of a noticeable difference in tonal change?

Been doing this mod to all my guitars for 38 years. It was when I found out that Eddie Van Halen removed his tone caps. Don't know why it's not a factory standard.

You could produce a similar result by using a pot with a switch. Two possibilities, rotary switch pots, and pull switch pots. With a rotary switch you would go to "no load" with the knob fully counter clockwise, at "0", the opposite of this mod. Not a problem for a blend pot, no blend at zero, and full blend at 10, pretty much as intuition would expect. For a tone pot it would go from maximum treble cut just before zero, to no treble cut at zero. A little confusing, but I guess you could learn to live with it. A pull switch, any time you want no load, just pull the switch.

Tried to replace pickups and switch today, and I screwed everything up.

Ah man, sorry to hear that. We’ve all been there if it’s any consolation. I had many mess ups on the path to getting the technique down too. Paul

whats the trick to get the pot to "click" when you get it to 10, so that you can actually feel the pot gets bypassed?

File the knotch deeper so you carve into the housing material. The you get that click feel

Forgive my ignorance. Does this simply replace the organge drop capacitor? If yes, why do we still use the Caps?

ที่ค่าของโวลุ่มเดิมเขาให้มาเกิน254kชดเชยแล้วไว้แล้วแต่ถ้าคุณทำแบบนี้เมื่อเปิดสุดค่าที่ได้จะเท่ากับ250k = ความแรงลดลงหรือเปล่า.!.? 🧐
