I'll finally be getting my custom J Nunis guitar in another week or so and one of the little tricks I asked to be added was a push/pull volume pot that would be wired to bypass the volume pot when the switch is pulled out. My goal with this set up is to allow me to a) roll off the volume to clean up my amp and then be able to switch between the clean(er) sound and the full volume, dirty sound (kinda like channel switching) and b) to be able to dial the volume all the way down, while the switch is pulled out and use it like a stutter switch. That's the goal any way
My question, though, is this: When the switch is pulled out and the guitar is basically hard-wired without a volume pot, wil there be a noticable jump in the treble and volume, compared to when the volume pot is in the circuit? Will I need some sort of capacitor on the switch when it's pulled out in order to maintain a balanced volume and tone between the full volume/switch in "mode" and the switch out/pot bypassed "mode?"
This is a 500k pot, so if it does need a cap or something, can you recommend some values to achieve this balance?
TIA,
Bobby
