Treble Bleed Circuit – 250k (Series Wiring)

Keep your highs when you roll back the volume.

This treble bleed circuit is designed specifically for use with 250k potentiometers, wired in series for players who prefer a slightly more aggressive taper. Best suited for single-coil guitars or lower-output setups, this mod helps preserve clarity as you roll the volume back — without thinning out your tone.

★ Component Specs

• Capacitor: Kemet Multilayer Ceramic (MLCC) – 100V 1200pF

• Resistor: Vishay Metal Film – 130KΩ 1%, 1/8W

• Wiring: Series configuration (resistor in-line with capacitor)

• Solder: Hand-soldered using Kester 44 Rosin Core 63/37 for clean, reliable connections — the same trusted solder used in our prewired kits.

★ What It Does

With traditional volume controls, turning down the knob also darkens the tone. This series-wired treble bleed circuit fights that effect by carefully shaping the high frequencies that pass through as the volume decreases, helping retain articulation and detail — without sounding shrill.

The result?

Better tone control across your volume range. Whether you’re backing off for rhythm parts or easing into a solo, your highs stay intact and your sound stays usable.
