Description
Ever notice how your tone goes dark and mushy the moment you back off the volume knob? That’s the classic side effect of a bare volume pot bleeding off high-end as resistance increases. Emerson’s Treble Bleed Circuit solves it at the source, hand-assembled in their own shop with a new production Polystyrene Capacitor wired in parallel alongside a mil-spec, 1% tolerance 220K Ohm Metal Film Resistor.
The parallel cap/resistor pairing does two things at once: it bypasses enough high-frequency signal to keep your tone articulate and present no matter where the volume sits, and it smooths out the pot’s taper so volume changes feel more linear and predictable under your hand. No more clarity cliff-diving at 3 on the dial, no more overcompensating with your amp’s treble knob.
Because it’s built from precision, mil-spec components rather than whatever’s cheapest on the shelf, this mod delivers consistent, repeatable results — the same clean high-end retention every single build. It’s a small part with an outsized impact on how your guitar actually feels to play, especially if you’re the type who rides the volume knob for dynamics rather than just leaving it maxed out.
