Why not get a mini potentiometer and set it to the position you like for the bridge pickup and have it controlled on and off with a mini switch or a push/pull bridge pickup tone control p[ot? Sounds like a plan

The standars switch in the bridge position seemed muddy and almost unusable to be. But the Grease bucket sounded kind of distant, I'm a cool way.

Thanks for this demo! A very subtle difference, but I decided to change my graph tech saddles on my '95 MIM Fat Strat Special back to stock ones. Although, GraphTech saddles look amazing on black guitar and much more comfortable to the right hand
@philosophicallyspeaking64637 ай бұрын
The two circuits do different things. The grease bucket is meant to attenuate the highs 'only', so that when you roll off the treble you don't achieve that at the cost of simultaneously rolling off the mids and bass, otherwise...what's the point: everything stays the same relative to everything else, and your tone control is really functioning more like an overall 'perceived' volume control and less like a tone control, because our ears register the presence of the guitar's high notes (that which are really only mids in the greater scope of the full acoustic spectrum) with greater authority than the do either the actual highs and lows. Its the psycho-acoustic effect explained by Fletcher/Munson: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9qAdMR4tq3ao4E.htmlsi=6nKQn87UrEmwqQjA

Great demo! The 0.22 nF cap sounded the best to my ears- it retained all the tasty frequencies, and sooo goood with tone at 5! 0.47 was too muddy and 0.1 was too shrill. You are a fantastic player! Was searching for cap value tests because my Slick SL57 with SSS sounds very warm and has just barely enough sparkle top end with all pots on 10, but as soon as I turn the vol. or tone pot to 8, the sparkling treble is gone. I did not yet opened her up to check the cap and pot values, but I assume them to be like 0.47 nF and 250K. So I was thinking changing the pots with 500 K and after testing maybe the cap with 0.22 nF. Thank you for this vid!👌🏼👍🏼

Many people seem to dislike the greasebucket wiring scheme. I read critical comments almost exclusively. This made me want to try it, and I'm glad I did. It sounds great. People insist that caps and other components don't affect tone unless one of the pots is turned below 10. I disagree. The clean sound of the guitar I put it was noticeably improved by this simple circuit. This even with both controls (tele) wide open on 10. I'm really glad I did it. My ASAT sounded good before, but the greasebucket made it that much better.

Those who have calculated the frequency responses of both the Greasebucket vs standard Fender tone circuits found that they are virtually identical throughout the range of the pot unless you are very close to the minimum setting. The Greasebucket can’t achieve quite as much treble cut due to the fixed resistor in series with it. So it’s basically a marketing gimmick.
@georgestritter Жыл бұрын
What I like about is that the fixed resistor leaves upper-end treble intact. To my ears the rolled-down tone control darkens the timbre while keeping some clarity. In my experience it has allowed me to use the tone controls and still cut through a larger ensemble in a way I couldn't before. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@kirkp_nextguitar Жыл бұрын
@@georgestritter The fixed resistor’s only function is to prevent you from dialing the resistance back as far. I think setting the stock tone pot slightly above the minimum resistance would have the same effect.
