I'm trying to get a better understanding of how changes to the tone control pot and caps will affect the sound of my axe. While the question is general, to give y'all a frame of reference, I'm thinking of doing some tinkering with my Fender Tele-sonic: 2 Dearmond 2K single coils (actually measure out in the 7K range) and 2 vol/2 tone controls. Bridge pickup tends to be a bit too bright/thin, the neck pickup is warm and could use to open up a tiny bit. So here are the questions:
1. What's is the affect of changing the tone cap values up or down?
2. Does the tone cap value have any affect when the tone control it all the way up?
3. What is the affect of changing the tone control pot value and does it have an affect when it's wide open.
4. Is there a particular type/brand of cap that is best suited for this application?
Thanks guys for answering what is probably some pretty basic info
