I converted my 91 LP Std to 50s wiring a few weeks back and used 0.015uF orange drops for the caps. Problem is I think the tone controls now do nothing. The effect was always very subtle compared to the old bright -> mud wiring, but now I'm beginning to think I've been only imagining the differences between 1 and 10 on either pot. Is there any possibility that one bad solder joint could take both tone controls out of circuit on a 50's wiring? Or are 0.015 caps just too subtle to be useful in some LPs?
