Tone Descriptions:
The tones in the dropdown menus are listed in the order of amount of cut, from least to most.

Woman Tone- Least amount of cut. Very close to one of Clapton's famous Cream-era tones, the "Woman Tone".
As you  cut back on the tone when playing in overdrive it gives your guitar a nice sweet "growl" and makes your lower notes more prone to feedback.
Works equally well with single coils or humbuckers.
Standard Tone- Value used in most current humbucker equipped guitars, and many single coil guitars. A great "all around" standard value.
Special Tone- Provides a little more cut than Standard Tone offering a warm jazzy tone. Use for bass guitars when you find that your stock  tone control muddies up the pickups too much!
Dark Tone- Deep and bassy. Great for single coils and other bright pickups. This value used in most Fender® guitars from the 60's up.
Also suitable for bass guitars.
Bass Tone- Deep cut. Good bass guitar value.
Dark Bass Tone- Most amount of cut. Good for bass guitars, although used in most Fender® guitars from the 50's!
