Heft Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Hi, I'd like to add a second capacitor to my neck pickup to make it a bit darker, while keeping the .047 in the master tone. Is a two capacitor system possible? Where in the circuit would I add the capacitor? To be clear this is a master tone, master volume telecaster with a .047 in the tone. I would like to add a .01 somewhere (To the switch?) so that when ever I switched to the neck it was automatically a bit darker, While the bridge kept the tone it already has. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizman62 Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 I know that two or more caps can be installed as a bunch in the same location, the values being summed. To me that says that it's possible. Let's wait for the diagram gurus to chime in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtisa Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Strapping the extra capacitor across the two neck pickup leads will darken the neck pickup and leave the bridge pickup unaffected. The catch is that with a standard Tele 3-way switch, when the middle (both pickups) position is selected the extra capacitor will darken both neck and bridge simultaneously.

Heft Posted September 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 I'm using an oak grisby 4 way switch. Could I have the parallel dark and the series bright? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
