Jackson JS22-7 MOD | 250k vs 500k TONE POT | How MUCH of a Difference does it make?

#JacksonGuitars #Modifications #Potentiomters
Hello! First, I want to thank all of my new and old subscribers. You guys have almost got me to 100 subs! I never thought I'd make it past 20, so it means a lot and is really cool to me.
Anyway, here I am again, back with another modification to my JS22-7. This is probably the last hardware mod I will do on it, then next up is the paint job. This video is just going to be me hashing out my mistake of using a 250k pot in the tone position, and comparing the difference between that and a potentiometer of the correct impedance. I have worked on and built many many guitars, and I usually follow conventional wisdom as many techs, luthiers, and players before me have already paved the way to a treasure trove of guitar and electronics knowledge. Here, I am going to test some of that conventional knowledge, and get down to the nitty gritty on how much merit it holds. In my next video, I will hopefully break down how the signal chain in your guitar works, in a way that is easy to understand. Every guitarist should be able to maintain and modify their own instrument to their preferred specs without having to dole out hundreds of dollars to someone who may or may not treat your instrument with the love that you would. That being said, thanks for stopping by! Please like, share, and subscribe for more content!

Thank you to everyone that helped me reach 100 subs. I know it doesn’t seem like a lot compared to other youtubers, but it means the world to me.

I can only hear the difference with headphones. It sounds like the low mids are more present with the 250K pot.

[@An2oine]

I tried to side with the 500k but the 250k is more pleasing.

[@An2oine]

The USA EVH Wolfgang uses 250k in the tone.

[@sonicdnaartistjeffmilam6371]

The 250 K is better

[@seba8194]

this or a ibanez rg7321?

[@gteric6882]

Almost same

I've added a set of AxeTec locking tuners (19:1 ratio which I've found to work really well for tuning stability) a hipshot bridge and I am about to add in some SD Alpha/Omega pickups. Quick question if you don't mind: did the pots you put in have a long or regular shaft length? Thanks!

Just bought a Ibanez 7 string yesterday. Great video to watch. My first 7 string purchase. And this surprisingly answered everything. I wanted to know. Thanks

Hi bro. What is your tone capacitor value?

[@malsawmtluangaralte2267]

Most helpful video so far regarding Pots

[@chaggasfernandes]

Thanks for the video. Very well explained.

[@foxyparsons3645]

You’re getting better and better at these videos baby! Great job!!!

[@KurtCobain2021]

What pots would you recommend for single coil neck and humbuker in the bridge?

[@rhidoychowdhury4684]

I got Humbucker 5way with push&pull split coils. Which pot should i get?

[@judyparsons492]

Awesome job josh

[@user-yo6mj3vm9r]

Don't hear the difference between them besides the 250k is a bit quieter. If you align the volume, I am almost sure that nobody wouldn't guess who is who in a blind test. Try it if you're still interested.

Idea for your next video: Dual Amp Rigs - Is Out Of Phase Better?

[@user-or5zn9ho5e]

Hello! 250 of 500? IHMO it depends on every pickup. I`d like to hear the 250 of 500 OM comparison on the Seymour Duncan Hot Rod set and Dimarzio Super Distortion.

[@warmaudioph814]

are they tall or short shaft pots?
