NF3 SE Volume Pot Replacement

Treble bleed on mine. Fixed everything.

Agreed. I don’t have this issue of hum coming thru when volume is turned down. I too installed a treble bleed immediately. On my typical low gain setup I find the volume knob works fine from 7-10. I have a wider range when I changed to a higher gain/volume settings.

Why these didn’t ship with treble bleeds is beyond me. I didn’t do anything fancy. Just the standard PRS se cap of 180pf on the volume pot. Good enough for me.

The treble bleed fixed mine too. I just received a new NF3 inspected July of 24.
The volume now drops continuously from 10 to 0 without any noticeable
loss of brightness. (It previously went to mud at 8).
150k resistor parallel with .001uf cap
Brown green yellow (15 x 10 to the 4th), "102" cap

Good day sir. I'm new here and joined because I have the same issue with my newly acquired SE NF3. I can get along with soldering but I've never installed a Treble Bleed. Would you mind explaining me where I do need to soldering the resistor and the Capacitor?
Thanks in advance for your time.

First solder the resistor to the cap wires, near the body of the cap. Cut and remove the extra resistor wire. Now you can solder the capacitor wires to the volume pot lugs 2 and 3. You know lug 1 because it will be connected to ground (body of the volume cap). 3 is from 5 way switch and is the main signal.

Thanks man, very kind

I don't see any PRS concerns about this issue.

Looks like I likely found the 1st mod on my new NF3 expected to arrive on Sat.....

New NF3, I dont have the hum/noise issue it seems, I'm familiar with TB's and what they do etc. and ive got several on the way,.. but I do have a funky vol. pot issue:

My vol. pot seems to be doing nothing for the 1st 20+ percent of its range then it ramps up to approx. 50% volume from there 'til about 80-85% of its range, from there it jumps from say, 50%+- volume to full volume within that last 15% of the knobs rotation...

I'm no dummy, but I can pretend pretty good, & i'm just not sure this is a treble bleed issue..... as soon as I get one in ill try it..

Thoughts ?
