upgrade EVH treble bleed cap

[ymi5150?]

any value in putting a nice PIO cap on the MM? That's a no brainer in a LP. Just checking with you guys.

Cheers

Sure! I'm so used to it I miss it if it's not there. FWIW, I strongly recommend a resistor either in series or parallel with the cap for the most natural sound when the volume is turned down. It'll be too bright or thin otherwise.

I did start a thread about it a while back, you'll find it easy enough with the search function.

found it, thanks and I tend to agree. two things. are you using a .002 uf or .022? i usually use a .022 for the bridge on a les paul and no resistor. second, and this is just a comment and that is i really struggle with two bucker guitars in general because to my ears, they dont blend well in the middle position. and the way the EVH MM is wired its impossible to put a different value treble bleed cap in the neck slot to help blend better. oh well...I just stay out of the middle spot.
