"Faking out" a 250k pot for HSS via resistor - any downsides? What's Hot PonchoGregPonchoGreg Frets: 769 January 2021 in Making & Modding Got an HSS config with just the one 500k volume pot for all three pickups.It's mostly fine because the singles in question are quite pokey to start with (SD SSL 6), but it's still a bit harsh/sparkly to my taste. I really like the low-friction 500k pot (and it sounds good with the humbucker) so ideally I'd rather keep it.I've been reading about the resistor method, and was thinking I could try and "fake" a 250k (or 300k) pot for the single-coils with either a 470k or 750k resistor.Is it as simple as running the resistor to ground from the pickup connections on the switch (in parallel)?But more importantly, are there any negative impacts on the taper and general behaviour of the volume pot?Thanks guys!
