Losing bass when I roll volume back DGT

[Dondante]

Ok, So when I roll my volume back even the slightest bit I lose bass. Is the bleed cap the reason? any way to remedy this? 2015 DGT

Sounds like an overly aggressive treble bypass to me. I noticed a thinning out of the sound (loss of bass) with my 53/10 ltd and a standard 180pf capacitor - but then I'm only playing at home using short cables so I haven't got much treble loss in my signal chain. I just de-soldered one side of the capacitor and that instantly fixed it. You could play around with different values to get a less aggressive treble bypass if you essentially like the feature but if you've got the tools I'd certainly recommend taking one leg off first and seeing what that does for you. I also then went on to changing the capacitor on the tone control from 0.033uf to 0.022uf, which is a little brighter and helped to compensate for the removal of the treble bypass.

OK I Will try that and see what happens.

Let us know how it goes. Some people love them on, some love them off. I also prefer the taper of the volume pot with it disconnected
