Allan Bradley Carbon Resistor used for Guitar Treble Bleed

    - Allen-Bradley resistors commonly used in vintage-style guitar circuits are Hot-Molded Carbon Composition (often called
        "carbon comp") resistors. Popular values are often paired with a capacitor, and can be wired in parallel (Duncan style) or
        in series (Kinman style): Common values used in a treble bleed mod range from around 100k to 330k (kilo-ohms).
        A common value for a 500k pot is often 150k or 200k. But it's all about personal taste when it comes to sound and tone.
