Installation notes:
All EMG Active Pickups are compatible with each other. EMG Accessories, the VLPF, EXG, SPC or RPC Controls can be added to any EMG system
without requiring an extra battery. DO NOT reconnect the bridge ground wire, as EMG Active Pickups do not require string grounding. Use the
25K Ohm controls that are included for best results. If your output jack is a long panel style you will need to solder a stereo jack, like the
SwitchCraft 152B or similar. Adjust the pickup level to the strings, and experiment with a distance that works for you.
