I saw on another post you recommended this: 0.022µF 50V 10% PC-Mount Capacitor Is that good for a fat tone?

Thanks!!!! You rock// What type of cap do you recommend? 500k volume 250k tone.......

so place a cap off the ground and that's it?

I have and have used both. I like the BBE better. They are more of an eq and expander kinda of thing. The BBE "process knob" separates the frequencies into groups and very slightly delays them. The delay time is not an audible lag but creates an auditory separation. It makes things crisp and clear. The highs get really harsh if you turn it up too much. The "low contour" adds or subtracts bottom end. The BBE IMO can really make up for a cab with little or no low end. Think a 1 x 12. I use it at home on a 1 x 12 and can get good low end at low volumes. If you have a great amp and cab then you really don't need this. I think it degrades the sound of high end gear.

I wired up my guitar and can't get the tone pot to work properly. When I turn it, it controls the volume and goes all the way off. I have 1 hb, 1 vol, 1 tone. I wired it according to the Seymour Duncan site. Volume 500k lug #3 input, lug #2 output to jack, #1 folded back and ground Tone 250k lug #1 positive from volume lug #3, #2 ground to back of volume pot. I've tried putting the vol. lug #2 out to tone lug #1 and from there to output jack. The problem is the tone doesn't work as a tone pot it works like a volume. help..... btw newbie here...... no flames please..... i searched and tried all kinds of wiring combos and need help from the masters. thanks,
