Would increasing the value of the resistor in parallel to the treble bypass cap give a more aggressive taper to the volume pot and will this increase or decrease the amount of treble in the tone at low volume settings?
I have a Strat with a 280k vol pot and a 680pF / 150k treble bypass on it - the balance of treble as I roll down the volume is just about perfect, but the taper is so slow that I need to roll the volume back to around 3 to get the clean up I get on about 6-7 with a 50s wiring setup.
I'm about to put a treble bypass on a Tele using the same 280k pot and I'm deciding what to try first from 470pF / 220k - 680pF / 150k or a mixture in this range?

The answer was never 42 - it's 1/137 (..ish)

Increasing the resistor value will give a steeper taper to the pot - closer to the unmodified taper - and more treble (relatively - because the treble is the same but the rest is quieter) at the same knob setting.

Helpful for folks down the line searching for the same answers to have a clear post title though, don’t you think?
