I rarely use the dark dark roll off of a. That effectively takes it and the resistor out of the circuit.
Very cool I love these, they effectively put infinite resistance between the cap and output when fully on and notched. So a pickup would see a K resistance instead of 0 resistance for the filtered frequencies. But we are artists right? Tokyo pianoĪlso, typical Stratocaster pot tone potentiometer values are K for tone pots and single coils pickups. If you spend a bunch of money for one, you are paying for an artistic choice. There a MANY many types and manufacturers of capacitors.
Case in point, capacitors operate on a knee so the knew moves when the capacitance changes. They block DC voltage and only pass AC something with a frequency. But many factors affect the capacitance such as the dielectric material The material that is in between the plates affect many parameters of the capacitor. Typically large plates let lower frequencies through whereas smaller plates let only higher frequencies through. The voltage really small AC from a pickup appears across the plate. There are essentially 2 plates with a dielectric in between them. There are MANY different types of capacitor materials but they operate with the same basic concept. In general the smaller the value, the more higher frequencies can get through the list below shows typically values and how they sound in general. If the cap value was really small, the filter frequency would be so high that no audible signal would be affected. This is because the filter frequency shifts higher so more high frequency remains.
