Well I got tired of the no-load Delta Tone pot. It was always hard to get it to move out of the indent (10) when playing. Thus, I decided to replace the pot with a normal 250K CTS pot. While I was in there might as well replace the cap with a PIO cap for a more rounded sound.

Now, I modified the new 250K pot to read a little higher than 250K (actually closer to 280K) so there is a more usable range in tone. Installed the pot by hooking everything up just like before and also installed the PIO Vitamin Q cap I had (same value as the stock cap).

Must say it does sound better, creamier and more rounded. Also, it is easier to move the tone knob now (no indent for no-load) and I get some nice variations in tone with the new pot. Overall I am very happy with this minor modification.
