Libtoem said: Its not the cap as I can hook it up to just the volume pot and I get the same results,I'll mess with it some more but this guitar is pissing me off as I really don't want to route the body for a stright humbucker as I know the bridge pickup pretty much does not line up at all with the strings,that the only thing I can think of.Also I have tried many different 500k pots and it still sounds like I have 250k pots in there.
I used to think the angled humbucker argument was valid but since my own project i dont.
I used 500k alpha pots, .022 orange drop capacitor and an angled Seymour Duncan Custom... its as bright as you could want. Mahogany body as well.
To be honest though, the Super Distortion is not the 'brightest' choice out there. In the wrong guitar they just sound muddy. I prefer the SD Custom or Pearly Gates.
