Premium Components - Cornell Dubilier (CDE) Orange Drop® Capacitors - Allan Bradley vintage resistor.
A 0.001uf capacitor and a 100K or 150KOhm resistor are common values used for Treble Bleed.
Prefect for Fender, Gibson and guitar with 'single and Humbucker pickup'.
Personally, I use 100V caps for single pickups and 600V caps for humbuckers.

What is the purpose of a treble Bleed ?
A treble-bleed circuit allows high frequencies to Bleed (or pass) through the volume control, even when the volume is turned down. “It's a common modification people have been doing for a while”.
What is a "Treble Bleed" ?
A treble bleed is a capacitor alone or coupled to a resistor, either in parallel, series, or both (parallel and series are more common on some Fenders).
How to install it ?
It should be soldered to the center and outer lug of the volume pot.
In the early days of Treble Bleed, many people just used a capacitor. What we now call the "Simle Mod", but using only the capacitor, many guitarists and technicians found that when they turned down the volume, they kept the highs but also removed a lot of the bass. By adding a resistor to the condenser, some guitarists and technicians were able to correct this lack of bass while keeping the highs. This is how Fender created the Tone Saver.

What is a Treble Bleed ?
A treble bleed is a capacitor coupled to a resistor in parallel or in series or both in parallel and in series. It is found on the treble bleed circuit of the American Fender Professional. This system is nowadays very frequently installed by professional or amateur guitarists looking for a particular sound.
Installation of a Treble Bleed:
Simply solder the treble bleed circuit to the input and output terminals of your volume control. Cut the capacitor wires to length, add the heat shrink tubing if you're using it (it only serves to protect the wires from contacting the back of the pot, which serves as a ground), and solder them in place as shown in the wiring diagram.
Adding a treble bleed will keep your tone clear.
One of the common problems with guitars is the frustration of losing too much treble when the volume control is turned down, making the sound muddy and hazy. Of course, this is what happens when you attenuate the signal further. However, some players want to keep those high notes as much as possible. Fortunately, this problem is easily solved by installing a treble bypass capacitor (known as a treble modulator) in the circuit. As the name implies, a treble bypass allows the treble to bypass the pot load, sending it directly to the output. What is commonly referred to as a "treble bypass" circuit consists of a small capacitor and a resistor that connect to the input and output terminals of the volume control. When installed on a volume control, the high frequencies bypass the pot resistor and go directly to the output.
