I don't know, unforunately I don't have any of my books handy at the moment, but I'll tell you ASAP.
I'm wiring up a treble bleed circuit on a Strat and it calls for a capacitor and resistor wired in parallel. Is the resistor directional? Does it matter which colored line goes which direction? I know the capacitor isn't directional.

BTW, some capacitors--electrolytics, primarily--are "directional" (actually "polarized" is the correct term), but not the ones you'd be using, I'm sure. They'd be ceramic or polyester film, I'd be willing to bet.

Great! Thanks Voodoo. I am using one of those little orange capacitors. Then I'm all good to go. Clips and pics may be coming soon.Originally Posted by duhvoodooman

Think of a resistor as pumping oil through a barrel of sand... doesn't matter which way you pump, it'll encounter the same resistance either way.
I'd rephrase it to say that the resistor *is* the barrel of sand. The rest of the circuit is the pump.Originally Posted by Rocket

Spud skip the resistor. It changes the taper of the pot...you may or may not like that.

The only way a resistor is directional is if it has an arrow pointing the direction the current is supposed to flow printed on it. Usually it doesnt matter though. Ohms are Ohms

Sure. Now you speak up. You just wanted me to get it done, put all the screws in the pick guard and put new strings on it didn't ya? Well it doesn't matter. It works great.Originally Posted by tone2thebone
