Treble Bleeds
Capacitor-only and resistor-capacitor networks, understood in the context of the volume control and its surrounding load.
A useful reading order
Identify input and wiper first. Compare no bleed, capacitor-only and RC networks at the same volume position; use the Designer for a more detailed experiment.
Use Treble Bleed Designer after identifying the terminals and supported configuration. Check fit and specification in Treble Bleeds.
