I have no tone knob , and my pick-up is always in the brighest mode, seeing that I have never used the tone in a show or in the studio

Okay, I see. I figured that it was different for some guitars. I usually only use my tone knob for on the fly changes.

Not really sure mate if you have it backwards (not sure if you can reverse the knob??). I guess this is just a way it is printed out on the knob and they mean without high end - 10, with high end - 0.
On my Strat, it's vice versa, so with high - 10, without - 0. Haven't really noticed on other guitars I played tho.. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

My guitar doesn't have it printed out. You just turn the knob .... I was just wondering how to say it when explaining it..."put your tone know at 10"....

in the brightest mode, it's on 10, because that's when you have it rolled up in the same direction as your volume knob when it's at 10

This can depend on your tone pot setup on the guitar (and what type of pots you use).
Full Clockwise = brightest tone. Counter-clockwise = lower tone to 0 (or half tone depending on wiring). (Matchs same direction as volume control) If you have one, it controls overall tone, else they control each pickup (also depending on wiring). Higher quality pots don't rotate but click around different tones (so they don't get muddy or fade out). However, normal ones you might want to leave on max tone or just roll off a bit (to 7-9) or have the half tone wiring setup (else you start losing quality). The pot also changes the sound from dark to bright depending on using a 250k vs 500k, etc. -------------------- Play Games Arcade Take a break, Play Games!
