Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster, Yes Or No On The TBX Tone Control, And Can It Be Removed?

I have the artist series Eric Clapton signature Fender Stratocaster, which features the TBX Tone Control. It s a pretty cool feature, and I love the Stratocaster itself, but my question is: is there a way to remove and replace that with a standard tone control? I ve come to realize I like the standard style much better than the TBX feature. Any ideas on replace man or whatnot?

    Hello there,

    I love the TBX tone control. My 1996 American Standard has that. If you prefer the traditional tone controls, that is no problem. You would simply remove the stacked tone pot and replace it with a traditional 250K pot and cap.

    However, there is no need to do that. From 0 to 5 the tone pot works as the traditional tone pot. It is only when you move the knob past 5 that the treble bass expander kicks in.

    Later,

    I think that's a pro-job, so maybe call up your local music-store, and ask them for options.
