    Default What pot and cap values are using with your Prails?

    250k or 500k?

    Differences in tone? I'm betting the 500k would allow for a brighter more raunchy bucker tone, but would possibly make the p90 and rails on the harsher side when using those.

    What value do you think would be a good compromise between the 2 standard pot values? I think I've seen some 300k or 350k around somewhere.

    Cap values? I'll probably go all out and get the Lux bumblebee caps from RS Guitarworks.

    500k pots for sure! I use .022 caps and love the amount of high end roll off.

    Personally I'm using 500k all the time. I like the extra top end peak I get on the rails, and I would have used 500k on the P90 and HB anyway. I could see someone wanting to tame the Rails down with 250k but I like the increased variation you get between the sounds.

    I use 500k pots and a .015 for neck; .033 for bridge. Guitar is an Epiphone Sheraton. I rarely have the tone knobs full up, usually I keep them between 0 and around 6...the knobs don't have numbers on them so it's all done by feel.
