Hi Carlotte,

 

The best overview of pots I have found is on the right hand side here http://www.axesrus.com/axeElectronicsPots.htm

I hope it is as good when they cover tone pots.

To convert a pot to a tone pot you just add a capacitor - different caps give different amounts of treble bleed to earth through the pot again a good overview is here (it also covers pots but I find the previous link the most informative) http://www.guitarelectronics.com/category/wiring_resources_guitar_w...

Usually I keep the tone pot value the same as the the one for volume so don't know what using a 10Kohm tone would do. Regarding getting the best out of a piezo I answered another thread with some info on this here

Regards,

Excellent! Thank you so much!  I got a lot out of your links and have enough information to choose my capacitors!  I think I can proceed now.
