DGT: 50's wiring?

[ruger9]

So, to be honest, I have never found the PRS "treble bleed" (high pass filter) very effective on the volume controls of the DGT. It probably works great on a NMV amp cranked up, but on lower volumes (at home, and some bar gigs), it really doesn't work. I was thinking of trying "50's wiring" instead, like on some vintage Les Pauls (I actually did this on my tele), but I'm not sure how to do it with 2vol+1tone. 1vol+1tone(tele) was easy, and there are diagrams for LPs (2vol+2tone)... but not sure how to do it with the DGT 2vol+1tone? Anybody?

Yes, for me as well the treble bleed Circuit in my DGT just doesn’t work. I added my usual S Duncan treble bleed circuit to each volume control. It consists of a capacitor and resistor in parallel on the 2 active pot legs. Values are on their website. It works amazingly well at all volumes on any guitar.. (I’ve installed them in all my guitars)

Stew-Mac sells the treble bleeds too , I use them on all my builds

Did you remove the PRS treble bleed, or leave it and add the SD bleed with it?

Since the Capacitor is tied to the wiper and not the input lug of the Volumes, it is in essence 50's already.

For HB treble bleed use 680pf capacitor with 270k resistor in series, and thank me later

Edit; wrap it with heatshrink-tubing

Hi @ruger9 … I actually removed the blue PRS installed cap completely. Just wasn’t needed…

I have DGT control layout on my PS. Not DGT pickups though. However mine is wired works great for rolling down volume pots on both pickups. No idea if it’s wired exactly like the DGT. I can snap a picture in the next couple days.

I had a new wire harness done on my DGT.
