The SPECIAL TEN is a brand-new mid-range variation of our full-range ToneStyler GUITAR TEN. The reduced 8.2nF capacitance range focuses solely on mid-range, presence, and treble harmonics. Voiced to enhance the clean and overdrive tones from classic all-tube amplifiers, the SPECIAL TEN is essential for bridge pickups in both stage and studio applications.
At full clockwise rotation #10, true bypass is selected; in the adjacent #9 detent, "virtual tone pot loading" is selected, which exactly duplicates the subtle loading and treble reduction of a standard guitar or bass tone pot when turned to maximum clockwise brightness.
S-10 range: TRUE BYPASS to 8.2nF.
For use in guitars or basses with only one master volume control (PRS, Telecaster, Les Paul Jr, P-Bass) connect the shielded cable directly to the volume pot's input terminal. For Strats, connect one ToneStyler as a master, and reconnect the other tone pot also as a master. In four-knob guitars or basses featuring two pickup volumes and two tone controls (Gibson SG, ES-335, Fender Thinline, RIC 4001), use one ToneStyler for either the bridge or the neck pickup (it will also control 'both pickups'), and leave the other tone knob as-is. Or, upgrade with a pair of ToneStylers, for independent EQ control of each pickup.
