Utilizing a 1m lin. pot for TC on guitar..

[petemoore]

  The guitar I built needs a Tone Control.
  EDIT: no room, need a smaller size anyway...N/M...
  It has HB pickups, 500k volume pots, 3way selector [and a momentary kill switch!].
  I would like to use this 1meg linear pot w/tapering resistor, but I'm trying to figure out what a 'reasonable' value to throw on it would be.
  and whether I should try across lugs 1 and 3 or between it's output and ground? to effect a taper on it.
  Any suggestions for getting a reasonable response taper and cap value for this...I know all this info is out there, except finding the tapering resistor and how to orient it on the pot would be a big search...perhaps someone can just suggest an approach...

I believe Mark Hammer was the one to suggest that you run the wire from the volume pot to 1Meg TC lug 2, then run a cap from lug 3 to gnd and a different value cap from Lug 1 to gnd.  This way you get two tone knobs in one; in the center it's like the pot is wide open, then when you move it either direction the corresponding cap comes into affect.  It would work best with a detent in the pot.  I'd try .1n and then plug in other values as the other cap to find a good combination.
