Well the cap value depends on the input impedance of the mic socket , assuming thats a nice high number like a meg ohm, then a 0.1uFwill pass your tone , but there's no harm going bigger .Try whatever you have is a good way to go.

Oops!<br />
I replaced the volume and was getting the same problem. Then I thought more about what I was doing. I was plugging into the mic jack on my computer. The DC bias (phantom power) for powering electret mics was throwing everything off. Once I plugged into an amp without DC on the input, it sounded fine.<br />

Oh well, no point in swapping the pot back now, just keep the old one for something else. And I needed a couple other parts anyway. Now I should make a DC blocker for feeding into the…

Simple rule: Single coils use 250, humbuckers use 500. When both are present, use 500.

I was being lazy, hoping someone knew the correct values already rather than guessing. I finally got the volume out to where I could desolder the shield/ground wires from the pot case and found it says 500k under the solder mound, vastly different from the 4k range I was getting on measurement. Then again, maybe I was measuring the pot in parallel with the pickup(s) to get that 4k range.<br />

The main point though is that I need to replace it since it's extremely noisy at the ends even after cleaning. So later tonight I'll make the order from tubesandmore.com and hope it gets here in under a week and a half.

My best luck for finding pot values has been trial-and-error. Try 250k & 250k, then 250k & 500k, then 500k & 500k (vol and tone values).... then try reversing them. Somewhere there's a magic combo. I seem to remember reading that DiMarzio makes a drop-in humbucker for the G10, so maybe that would be a clue worth tracking? Good luck.
