From my experience so far, the two most basic applications are:
1) you run your signal through the cap, that’s a high pass filter, and you can use a resister in parallel to lessen the amount.
2) You run signal to capacitor to ground for low pass filter , and use a resistor in series to lessen the amount.
Cap value determines the frequency in both cases.
Truth is I don’t know why the plain resistor to ground also filters out high and I couldn’t personally predict how any of it is actually going to come out but its pretty revealing to sort it out on a breadboard , I LOVE this thread btw , so nice when you actually get a good tone option on the guitar itself
