Hey guys.
I'm gonna have another go at a High cut dial for my amp. Originally I used a .0047uf cap with a 250k pot. I found it cut too much of the good upper freqs and dulled the tone a bit too much. Also, the taper was pretty bad, a good 2/3 of the dial had no effect.
Was thinking of trying a different value to target higher freqs. Maybe .0022?
Should I try a different pot value too?
Any gurus with advice would be awesome.

Smaller value pot, try both linear and audio taper. Can’t comment heaps on the cap value.

Re: Advice for cap value for Vox style high cut mod
The value of the pot and cap will depend on the impedances of the circuit you are inserting them into.
