    Just for Primal and Prosthata I did some simulations to show that you CAN get boost using passive circuits . The attatched circuit and sim is for a typical pickup, and average cable and a typical amplifier input. Anything above 0dB IS A BOOST. Channelman

    Correct.....but I don't run my setup with the guitar volume on full...so it works for me. It never sounds 'right' to me on full....just personal preference I suppose. If you do...then...it don't work. Channelman

    If the piece of metal between the magnetic pickup and the string is non-magnetic then the 'communication' between the string and pickup will not be affected. But, and this is only my opinion, the outer ring of the pickup cover and to some extent the rest of the cover will act like a 'shorted turn' since, whilst it may not be magnetic, it will still conduct electricity. This 'shorted turn' on the pickup winding will reduce the 'Q' of the pickup and any 'resonances' due to its inductance and self capacitance. So it will sound different. Channelman

    Yep, you are correct BUT If ALL frequencies are CUT (action of Volume Control) BUT the high frequencies are not cut by as much (action of the Treble Bleed Cap) then in relation to the lower frequencies the treble frequencies will be at a higher level (or boosted). Passive tone controls which 'boost' and 'cut' both treble and bass have been in existence for years.....it's all relative Channelman

    I've never been happy with the 'Top Cut' type tone control on most of the guitars I've owned. I would like to suggest this circuit attached here. This circuit acts, when the tone pot is turned down, exactly like the 'normal' tone control but at the other end provides the 'treble bleed', which gives a 'treble boost 'effect. Full adjustable to get the sound you want. So, you get treble cut and boost for the cost of one extra capacitor. Regards Channelman
