I bought a used but stock 2020 DGT a week ago. It sounds great with volumes full up and playing rock sounds. However roll the volume down to 6 or 7 and it's too thin. I don't like treble bleeds. So I clipped one leg from each treble bleed resister on each volume pot. It didn't really help.
I gigged with it yesterday and at gig volume I liked it better, but it was still thin especially when the volumeIs not full on. That's a problem for me because I really use the volume knobs to control gain.
I also cannot get happy doing this:
I usually play around 6 and turn up for more gain as i need it. Sometimes, I will blend humbuckers, having the neck pick up on just a little bit, like at 3 to add a little warmth to the treble pickup. For the life of me, I cannot get the DGT to behave the same way, which I do easily on my strat, Les Paul, 335 and Firebird.
It has to be the wiring?? Has to be, right? I thought cutting the treble bleed would really make it better. I had a DGT around 2012 And had the same problem. It was much better after I clipped the resistor. I clipped it entirely off. It seems there was only one resistor at the time but I can't remember. The Guitar I have now is a 2020 model whereas the one I had years ago was a 2008 model. The wiring has changed since then.
Any advice would be appreciated.
