Roll Off Highs Without the Mud – A Smarter Tone Control Mod

Looking to smooth out your guitar’s high-end without sacrificing clarity? The Greasebucket Tone Control Circuit is a simple yet powerful mod that lets you roll off treble and bass frequencies without muddying your tone.

Unlike traditional tone controls that darken your signal too much at low settings, the Greasebucket mod keeps your cleans sparkling and your overdriven tones tight—perfect for both modern players and vintage purists.

What You Get:

  • 1x Genuine Orange Drop Capacitor – Known for tonal clarity and reliability

  • 1x Precision Metal Film Resistor (1% Tolerance) – Ensures consistent roll-off response

  • Compact, Hand-Soldered Circuit – Ready to install on most guitars and basses

  • Note: You still need a separate tone capacitor of your choice (0.002uF or 0.047uF)

What It Does:

  • Gently rolls off treble and low-end frequencies as you turn down the tone knob

  • Prevents the “muddy” sound often associated with traditional tone circuits

  • Balances your sound, especially helpful with bright pickups or overdrive pedals

  • Preserves articulation, especially for clean tones, funk, blues, and rhythm work


Installation Notes:

  • Install between the tone pot and ground, replacing the standard tone cap setup

  • Works with both 250k and 500k tone pots

  • You will still need a separate tone capacitor of your choice (0.002uF or 0.047uF)

  • Message us if you need a wiring guide or personalized value suggestion

 Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What’s the difference between a Greasebucket and a standard tone control?
A: Standard tone circuits roll off treble only and can get muddy. Greasebucket mods roll off treble and some bass, keeping the tone clearer and more balanced.

Q: Is this compatible with any guitar or bass?
A: Yes, it works with most passive guitars and basses using standard tone controls.

Q: Is the Orange Drop capacitor used original?
A: Yes! All caps are genuine USA-made Orange Drop capacitors from CDE.

Q: Do I need a separate tone capacitor on top of GBC?
A: Yes! You will still need a separate tone capacitor of your choice (0.002uF or 0.047uF). Please see the wiring diagram provided in the product photos.

Ideal For:

  • Strat, Tele, Jazzmaster, Les Paul, SG, and bass guitar tone controls

  • Players seeking more usable tone knob range

  • Bright guitars or pedals that need more control over high frequencies

  • Clean players who want sparkle without harshness

  • Overdrive and distortion tones that need tighter EQ at lower tone settings
