[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1399978796' post='2449491'] Before you go spending money on this try an experiment. Remove the tone control completely from the circuit. This will be as bright as the sound of the bass will get. If that's not enough you'll have to look elsewhere for solutions to your problem. (I'd start with the tone controls on your amp) [/quote] Would I need to remove the tone control completely? Or would disconnecting one leg of the tone cap, cutting the route to earth be enough to do it?

Hi, I've got an Epiphone Thunderbird IV with passive electrics. It's wired Volume, Volume, Tone (neck pickup volume, bridge pickup volume, both fed into the tone pot [url="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/Support/Files/Schematics/BAT4.pdf"]http://images.gibson...matics/BAT4.pdf[/url]). It's B500k on both vols and A500k on the tone with a 100V 0.068uF cap. I'm finding it a little "dark" sounding, so I've been reading about tone pots and caps and wanted to check I've got the right end of the stick. With the tone pot turned all the way up (brightest tone) am I right in thinking that that's as bright as it gets? The cap with the tone all the way up has a negligible effect, and the cap only effects the tone as the tone pot is turned down? Swapping the cap will make no difference, and the only way to get it brighter is to increase the size of the pot? H.

Hi all. This may have already been answered, but I can't find it. Does the B3 require the amp simulation to be run as one of the three pedals, or can you run it in addition to the three pedals?
