Hello Folks,
I was wondering about switching the Grease Bucket Tone Circuit in and out of the tone path. What I wanted to do was switch it so that when it was switched out, the "standard tone circuit would become active (tone pot with .02 mf capacitor and nothing else.) Have I succeeded?

Looks like it woke to me. When the switch connects to the bottom lugs, it's just like Grease Bucket thing, and the other direction the extra components are shorted and it is a standard tone control.

Thanks for the quick reply ashcatlt.
Seems I only have 9 more posts to go before I hit "1,000".

Hello!
Upon checking your Greasebucket Circuit, I notice that the Tone Control connects to the middle lug (output) of the Volume pot.
I also saw some diagram online where it is connected to the left lug (input) of the Volume pot?
What is the original wiring and what is their advantage disadvantage?
Thank you!

I think Wolfs drawing is not the usual way. If would normally connect to the outer volume pot lug.
Seriously, I has a GB tone control on my Strat. The only reason for it I could see is if you like your treble control to stop just before minimum, while there is still a bit of treble and before a mid honk sound develops. It makes is easier to find tbis tone since its then at the end of the travel.But it doesn't really do any tones that a normal tone can't do.
