This .047uf-.1uf cap switch is an orange, two headed monitor lizard that speaks a simple, southrange grit atop a subtle, simmering murk. Just as the heart might subtly react with ancestral repulsion at the sight of an ancient reptile vibrating intensely just above the stream, so too does this twinned switch deliver an equal bite of private phenomenon. It provides a convenient way for players to navigate a space between the temperate and traditional character called .047uf, and its slightly more dramatic and swampier sibling called .1uf. More specifically, the .047uf allows remnants of the high end to beam through; and if perceived by the player as not so tangible a thing as a direct beam, then perhaps more like memories of the egg days leaking into the mind of an incapacitated dragon doggypaddling the bayou. In the case of the .1uf cap, it is the hand that yanks the Thing just beneath the bright-bound surface. Everything capitulates an electric, light-drowned mud, and in this darkening forms the aperture through which you might dig, with intention, into the flow of the tune. Dive toward the murk.
Hint: besides these two characteristics, we invite you to seek the resonant peak—an ephemeral ridge as vibrational as it is dissipative. Instructions: roll off all caps to enable an understanding between the two, and allow the signal to flow through your rig with only a sliver of viscera painting its fullbodied back. This is the road to the peak. Follow it wisely. If you dare to look over, don’t hesitate. React. Whiptail! Like a lizard.

The difference in tone between my stock Lakland tone pot and the Tone Drop Tone Control is incredible! And the fast service from Fat Bass Tone made me one happy bottom feeder!
I bought a NTF Single special preamp, also a Norstrand tone drop and I must say that Max is one of the most kind and patient retailers I've ever met, he just went far and beyond. Thatks so much for helping me with my project.
Installed on my girlfriend's squire jazz bass. Completely transformed the sounds. Installation was super easy
I've taken a lot of basses to my luthier and bass guru over the years. Sometimes for major work, sometimes just for a pro setup. I asked him to swap the controls in my G&L JB Bass with this unit, as well as do shielding on the instrument, and do whatever else was necessary for my setup requirements. First of all, I really liked the sound improvement of the Blades over stock pickups, but I didn't feel like that work was done correctly by the previous owner. The controls didn't function as expected and the bass was picking up noise from electronic equipment near it. When I went to pick this bass up after setup was completed, I was told that this is his favorite bass of any that I've ever taken him. He found the sound to be exceptional and he was impressed with the 250k Push-Pull Potentiometer. I have to agree with him 100%. This Nordstrand Tone Drop Passive Tone Control made a tremendous improvement in sound. Combined with the Blade pickups I couldn't be happier.
Ordered a passive harness with a Nordstrand Tone Drop (V-V-T) for my Reverend Mercalli 5 FM, and it is fantastic! High quality components, and the Tone Drop gives some nice tonal flexibility with having two different options for cap values. Switching between the two cap value "modes" with the Tone Drop is smooth and easy, and offers some great flexibility on the fly. Highly recommend this product!
