I replaced the '69 pickups out of my Classic Player strat around this time last year with a set of Hot Noiseless pups, and as I adjusted to the new pickups, i found myself unhappy with the preformance of the tone controls, i didnt like the roll off as much as with the 69s, though i do like the HN pickups. I never looked too much into it then, because not long after i ended up with my LP and didnt play the Strat for months after. I now know more about cap values, but not much, so ive decided to experiment with some other options, but im curious who else uses Hot noiseless pickups, and if you changed the caps out, what did you put in?

I used the standard .022 cap. In hindsight, I may have it re-wired with a treble-bleed system and the second tone control to bridge p/u only. That's how my other Strats are wired and it works well for me.

The CP probably had .50 µF, which is pretty high.

If the problem is it gets too dark, too fast, a lesser value would cure that.


So as Shadowgrass posted, .022 might be the ticket.
