Guitar Treble Bleed Circuit – Volume Pot Wiring Mod

This guitar treble bleed circuit is a simple and effective modification designed to help retain high-frequency clarity when rolling back your guitar’s volume control. On many electric guitars, reducing the volume can also cause a noticeable loss of treble, resulting in a darker or muddier tone.

A treble bleed circuit helps counteract this by allowing higher frequencies to pass through as the volume is reduced, helping to maintain a clearer and more consistent sound across the volume control’s range.

Each circuit features a pre-wired capacitor and resistor, making it a convenient option for guitar wiring upgrades, repairs and custom electronics projects. The circuit is designed to be soldered across the input and output terminals of a guitar’s volume potentiometer.

Available in three different configurations, allowing you to choose the circuit that best suits your guitar’s pickups, controls and preferred volume response.
