Simple Guitar Tone Mod

My electric guitars are modded in such a way that turning down the volume does not cause a muddied tone.  This works very well with a jazz box, but with solid-body electrics, the tone can get way too treblish for my taste.  Still, the tweak allows you to play rhythm at a lower volume and still cut through when playing live with a band.

I’m not sure how well it will work for you if you back off the volume with a dirt pedal between your guitar and your amp, but in my case, I’m happy with it.

Here’s an interesting site that shows this plus other mods for your guitar such as shock prevention and a quasi-midrange control.
