The Steel Guitar Forum

my pickup reads 22k ohm 10 string pedal steel. want to add volume tone circit. any thoughts on values fot pots, cap. any hlp would be welcomed.

I would start with a 500K pot and a .047 cap. A higher value cap will reduce the highs, but will not increase the lows. A lower value cap will not reduce the highs as much. A higher value pot will increase the highs or brightness. A lower value pot will lower the highs and not sound as bright. A volume pedal will also alter the sound if the value don't match the pickup. Some steels use a 500K volume pedal.
