A 0.001µF Mallory capacitor with a resistor is wired in parallel across the volume pot's input and output lugs. It helps retain high-frequency clarity as the volume is rolled down, preventing the tone from becoming dull or muddy.
0.001µF Mallory + 150kΩ
A smoother, more controlled treble-bleed response. A good starting point for Strat® and Tele®-style single-coils, helping retain clarity without adding excessive brightness.
0.001µF Mallory + 220kΩ
Provides greater high-frequency retention and a more open response. A good starting point for Les Paul®, PRS® and other humbucker-equipped guitars, helping maintain clarity as the volume is reduced.
150kΩ → Single-coil → Smooth & controlled
220kΩ → Humbucker → Open & articulate
These are recommended starting points. Final selection depends on the pickup, actual pot value, wiring and the player's preferred volume response.
