I install them in all of my guitars. It’s a requirement given I continuously ride my volume and tone knob.Before I put the treble bleed mod into some of my guitars, I thought I would check here and see if anyone has some settings that mimic the mod?
Thanks in advance.
^^This^^Give it a try with alligator clips before committing and soldering it in to see how it works first.
I personally love it. I know some big names like Scott Henderson and Michael Landau arent fans of it… but theres a nice thing to turning down guitar volume and not losing tone. I definitely find it very useful, and I find that I spent less time fiddling with the drive pedals and more time playing.Before I put the treble bleed mod into some of my guitars, I thought I would check here and see if anyone has some settings that mimic the mod?

IMO, you still want some of the highs rolled off as you reduce the volume to keep some warmth in the tone. Otherwise it becomes very bright and shrill as get below 6 on the control.
50's wiring is on all my guitars ,Strat or LP . i don t like treble bleed
You can absolutely mimic the treble bleed mod in the Axe. I’ve had great success tying an expression pedal to the Amp block input gain, along with treble and bass controls. Works great for me. You can also get more precise control using a PEQ for specific treble and bass frequency manipulation. Another method I’ve been experimenting with lately is the expression pedal tied to the gain, mix, and tone knobs of two drive blocks. For example: in heel down position, RC Boost just on the edge of break up with a bit more treble. In the toe down position, a BB Pre with bass and treble rolled off and more saturation. I have a treble bleed in most of my guitars but I’m actually liking the sounds I’m getting this alternative way. It’s a lot of fun to play with the options!Before I put the treble bleed mod into some of my guitars, I thought I would check here and see if anyone has some settings that mimic the mod?

This!!!50's wiring can do this to some degree (keep highs when turning down etc), which is hanging the tone pot off of the volume pot's output/wiper instead of it's input.
Tone pot wiring does not have to change if you don't have a vintage guitar, modern tone pot wiring will work fine.
Works with single coils too, but likely best with humbuckers.
