Interesting Caprice Quirk :-)

Good afternoon,
I’ve recently made an interesting discovery. I’ve found that if I start with both pickups on full and then cut the bridge pickup by 5% it sounds like the overall output increases In addition, the tone also seems to “open up” and sound more full. Chords really come alive with fullness.

I’m not sure what’s going on here. I suspect it has something to do with the way the passive pickups interact with each other when they are in a setting other than full volume. Any ideas?

Best Regards,
