Ah, should have rewired your Les Paul into "50s" wiring, then compare that to the treble bleed. It just takes your existing wiring in a Standard and re-wire one of the wires to a different post. You can look it up. It's like a treble bleed, only not as harsh as they can be. Jeff McErlain has a few videos talking about it, like his "Dialing in your Les Paul" video. It would have been interesting to see the differences. EDIT: And I see someone has already suggested this. My point is that it would be interesting to see the difference between 50's wiring and a treble-bleed.

I much prefer 50's wiring to treble bleed. some people ride the tone knob, and for those people treble bleed seems to be their preferred choice (along with 60's wiring or modern wiring), (I am given to understand that if you move your tone knob while live it could effect the volume of the output in 50's wiring, so people that would change tone while playing would have an issue with this....I ONLY change my tone when I need to compensate for an out of balance amp)...also, I ride my volume knob (I use it to drive my amps, you change the volume of your guitar while live it will not effect your tone at all) and for me 50's wiring has always given me better results than treble bleed circuits. (which you would only put in to a guitar wired in modern or 60's wiring configurations. Why would you put a treble bleed circuit in to a guitar wired in 50's config as they do not have any treble loss as an issue? As stated earlier the 50's circuit would produce a volume loss when moving the tone pot, but the volume pot does not effect the tone at all, just the reverse is the issue with 60's and modern wiring circuits.).

I know a technician who is sort of obsessed with guitar electronics. I mod all my humbuckers and P90s Gibsons with him. This is what he does: 1 - Neck volume knob becomes master volume for both pickups. 2 - Bridge volume knob becomes pickups blend (you can blend the bridge pickup when on neck position and vice versa; doesn't do anything on middle position). 3 - Neck tone knob becomes master tone knob (the usual low pass knob we all know). 4 - Finally, bridge tone knob becomes master high pass filter (not a treble bleeder, but something much more powerful and versatile). I've been playing with different capacitor values for years and every guitar ends up with a different value for this high pass filter knob. It is just so practical and powerful that I can't use a standard wiring Les Paul anymore. At any volume you can dial in just the right amount of bass and treble that you want on your sound, almost like a two band EQ pedal. Not to mention that, to me, it's more practical to have one knob working on both pickups for everything. One master volume, one high pass filter, one low pass filter. My go-to setup when playing edge of break up sounds on the neck pickup is to blend 20% of the bridge signal (gives it a bit more bite), roll off the bass (high pass knob) to about 7 and then play with the saturation using the master volume knob. You'd be surprised by how much this mod opens up a world of tonal possibilites. By rolling off the bass 100%, you get almost a rickenbacker sound. Not harsh at all, just thin. It's so cool. Oh, and P90s also benefit a lot from these mods. Highly recommend you do some research on the original Les Paul schematics, designed by Les Paul himself. He was a big fan of the high pass filter knob. I wish Gibson kept it in the final design. People don't know what they're missing.

I refurbished a telecaster I built in the 90's over the winter and spent a lot of time listening to the wiring before I changed it. First I got rid of the treble bleed circuit and then changed out the brand of cap in the tone circuit (orange drop now). The tone really improved and the Texas special pickups really sound great now (repotted the neck pickup too). Adding a 4-way switch was a nice touch (so two pickup with a serial and parrallel wiring option) It's always a good idea to spend time with your wiring, a couple of amps, and a few pedals and see what really works for you.

Your videos are becoming better and more varied. I like it. What got me into your channel was the backstage vlogs. Please continue that when you can. Thanks.

Great videoI When I install treble bleed capacitor, I always use a heat sync to solder to the pot. If the potentiometer gets too hot from solder, the disk that turns the dial inside warps and then it's wrecked. I've learned that the hard way!

Had a treble bleed in a guitar once, took it out within a few days. Didn’t like it at all, but each to their own. It just reduces bass and mid frequencies and you’re left with a thin sounding guitar. To me it was more useful to use the volume control as it is to knock back treble in harsh sounding rooms/amps. And then use a volume pedal if I want to reduce actual volume.

Hi Rhett, I have treble bleeds on all my custom made Strats and they are great. I own a Les Paul Gold Top from 1969 with two fantastic PU's, so called T-Tops. This guitar sounds great as it is. I have another LP from 2007 which had awful sounding Classic '57 PU. I found another T-Top for the neck and combined it with a Seymour Duncan JB Model. This guitar became a killer one. But the biggest improvement was to replace bridges and tailpieces with ABM products for both LP's, a German company. This was absolutely mind blowing. The tone turns out to be more accurate, defined and precise. Maybe this is the reason why I never noticed my LP's sounding muddy when backing off the volume. I can recommend replacing the bridges with ABM or another equivalent brand for Strat's too, it's simply amazing. After watching this video I will listen closely to my LP's and if needed I will install treble bleed's.

Rhett another great video 👍

Nice clear usable tone when volume rolled off....bet it sits in a mix well. Thanks for scoop!

I’m so glad you said that about chrome pick ups! And your comparison to chrome rims made perfect sense and couldn’t agree more. Well stated and I’ll be stealing that!

What I usually do with treble bleeds Rhett is fit them using a push-pull so that the treble bleed is 'switchable', means you can choose to let the sound get darker as you roll off the volume or have it retain those highs depending on whether the pot is in the up or down position In a couple of my guitars I did something different, 50s tone wiring also retains more of the highs when you back off the volume, in a couple of guitars I have the tone as a push-pull which allows me to switch between 50 and 60s or 50s and 'modern' tone wiring, found I prefer that to the switchable treble bleed

Treble bleeds are a godsend when you are playing at low levels to keep that bright bite intact. Love them, especially when you can buy them for $3 pre-made. Great upgrade for single coils too

Gretsch had been putting a treble bleed on their master volume pots for Filter'tron equipped models lately. Sounds fantastic.

The Mythos manage to make a pickup which has even more lower mids then the muddy Gibson's. For the classic PAF tone you need something done to the 50s Gibson brief: make a HB to sound like a P90 without the noise. These do not meet that brief, the Whizz are much closer. Mythos are pretty muddy. Wizz wins these one for me.

The Mythos Pickups sounded kind of muffled and dark. Probably would sound good with a Slide. I preferred the other set. I've tried a Treble Bleed on my Strat several times, but since that guitar is rather bright to start out with, that mod isn't useful for me.

Cool jam there at 5:12 Rhett. I love the funk. Gotta have that funk.

Hey Rhett, I would highly recommend replacing the Stock volume pots with 525+ ohm VIPs & wire the harness 50's style. It will bring the pickups to life with greater clarity & way smoother attenuation. I wasn't completely satisfied when I swapped the Stock PU's to OX4 A4 LW , Until I changed the Pots. Maybe replace the entire Harness with a 50s kit from Throwback or VIP??? Love your playing & grateful for all the time & effort you put into the channel. Cheers

The Ibanez JS Joe Satriani models all have the "high pass filter" on the volume push pull. I use it all the time, it is really useful when playing with high gain as it allows you to go to an almost clean tone without changing channels but maintains good definition. Keep rockin'

Popped one in my American Standard 96 Strat. Gave it new life. I use the volume knob more now.

I think in the context of a song a lot of the times it's great to use the input gain (i.e. the pickup volume) rather than turning a pedal on or off to control the overdrive differences inside of a song whenever possible as it usually ends up more natural sounding and less abrupt/jarring. In other genre's though I could absolutely see why you might want something else.

Listening via my Beyer ref headset, the Mythos have a good punch, but to me are muddy, as you stated prior to the treble bleed. That definitely helped. Although I really liked the sound of the Wizz pickups in general, more so. To me I prefer clarity over punch. I would like to hear the treble bleed with the Wizz pickups - wondering if they would thin out too much. Great review Rhett. Love watching all your stuff, and the stuff you do with Rick.

Tip for you Rhett (and anyone else who has fought this problem) ...When swapping the rings, use a pair of small alligator clips as spring compressors to help get the screws started...The ones I use are about a half inch jaw length. Good luck!

I love the low end coming out of the Mythos pickups. Don't hear that coming from the Whizz. Both sound great! I do think the amp needs to be brighter, but maybe that's just my cheap monitors. Love to see the diy work! People need to see this stuff. This is the nitty gritty that goes on behind the scenes of being a musician

I used treble bleeds for ages.... and then I tried 50's wiring. I went back and forth for a while because 50's wiring does change the sound of the instrument (makes it clearer and not as dark) and how the volume and tone pots act and interact. Now I love 50's wiring and can't go back. They are on all my guitars....

I absolutely love the treble bleed mod. I have it on my P90 Gibson Les Paul. I think I may give those pickups a try in one of my other Les Pauls!!

Rhett, You can make a treble bleed with mini-alligator clips to install temporarily to see if you like it before permanently installing one.

I always wire the treble bleed or bright cap via the tone pot, so I can have the tone pot controlling treble boost or cut. Tone pot wiper to the pickup (selector), one end of the pot via treble cut cap to the ground, the other end via bright cap to the volume pot wiper. Cap sizes according to the pickups and taste.

I did a blind test on this video and the Wizz PU's were quite a bit better than the Mythos PU's. I thought the Mythos were more muddy and they just sounded better. Most of the time we rate sound/tone not with our ears but with brand names and cost. No matter who you are, it will be a big factor in your preference. So always do a blind test, this way your ears make the choices. I am kinda on the fence for the treble bleed, yes I could hear a difference but not sure it was better or worse with it on.

Sheeooot, I gotta try this!

I put treble bleeds on a few of my neck pick ups. They sound so clear and clean and I love rolling back the neck volume to a crisp clean tone then I go to the Bridge pick up gain roar. Very Pagey 🤗

Hey those tones were very cool, hope you have a lot of fun with your Les Paul or whatever else you decide to use those pickups for.

every time Rhett says something will make you sound better it really does

Those new pickups sound great...agree with the treble bleed

I'm currently adding a crossfade circuit to a little Washburn guitar. Each pickup has it's own tone control and in active mode it's got a crossfader circuit so I can differentiate tone and mix the pickups. In inactive mode I have a 3 way switch but tone is still controlled per pickup. A single volume control works for both active/passive modes.

Yeah I really like the Mythos pickups as well, they have what I call a musicality to them that makes me wanna play more!! The treble mod works well too but I'm on the fence w it cause I like that darker tone you can get when you roll the volume pot back on the neck providing it doesn't start to muddy out ....its a fine line to play with lol

Fascinating mod ...!!

Nice pick ups! Sounds perfect to me

Love my Dimarzio Tone Zones with alnico iv and iii mag swaps. Hot and overwound like hell but with the "correct" magnets and 550k pots too.

A game changer. In combination with prs custom 50 I’m able to plug straight in and control volume/tone/crunch/distortion/clean without touching the amp. Custom 50 foot switch is brilliant with channel switch/ reverb/solo boost. All my guitars now have treble bleed. It’s like going from having a few tones to a hundred tonal variations at your fingertips.

You’re right, the Wizz pu’s are great. I did think that the Mythos pu’s were a step up. They had more “spank” and were superior on Blues, which you lean toward. I haven’t been interested in Les Paul’s, but these pu’s raised my eyebrows!
