A Treble Bleed Circuit is a parallel connection of a capacitor and a resistor, which are soldered between the input and output of the volume potentiometer. This way you don't lose any treble when turning down the volume. In contrast to a pure volume capacitor, the resistor in this circuit ensures that the highs are not louder than the basses when the volume pot is set low.
Attention: the sound of treble bleed circuits depends on the signal chain. For example, when using effects units (especially vintage fuzz pedals or treble boosters), treble bleed circuits sound different when the volume pot is turned down than when the guitar is connected directly to the amp. Therefore, there are guitarists who make the treble bleed switchable. However, with the volume pot turned all the way up, there is no difference.
