[QUOTE="SacredGroove, post: 68481, member: 934"] Actually, the cut-off freq will be about the same from cap to cap. The variances will be in the tolerance, dielectric, quality, and any resistor in series or parallel, to the cap. Potentiometers are actually variable resistors. Caps are used on guitar pots to form a low-pass filter (tone) and high pass filter (volume). The high-pass "bleeds" high freqs into your guitars output, so it doesn't get too dull/dark as you turn the volume down. [/QUOTE]
