Eldred wiring cap question?

Ive done an Esquire partscaster with the Eldred wiring mod, which I quite like in volume no tone with the switch in the bridge position and the centre point, which is volume an tone, however the "cocked wah" with the switch in the neck position, is far too muddy to be of use, so the question, which cap do I change and which way in value do I go to be treblier? it has 250k audio pots, so I reckon about 2/3 tone roll off on the tone would be about right....
Heres the diagram I used......

    The 4700pF, to something smaller - 2200pF or possibly 1000pF.

    That would certainly make it very muddy - the same as turning the tone control fully down. If so, just use the 4700pF (.0047uF) and all should be well.
