If you already have EMG Active Pickups in your instrument you can use
the existing pickup cables or you can use the new pickup cables provided.
The new cables feature connectors on both ends to make the installation easier.
Di
agram #1 illustrates how to connect the pickups to the ABC Control by using
the EMG plug-in connectors.

Soldered Inputs
Soldered inputs:
On the back side of the ABC PC Board there are 4 pads to solder to.
Solder the signal wire (Hot) of the bridge pickup to the BRG Pad,
and solder the ground wire (shield) of that pickup to the GND Pad.
Do the same for the Neck Pickup, Hot to the NEK Pad, and ground
to the GND Pad. Refer to Diagram #8 and solder the Red wires of
the pickups to the battery buss as shown.

High Frequency Response Selection:
The BTS has the added feature of allowing you to choose from 4 different
high frequency response curves. This is a nice feature especially if you are
using the BTS with passive pickups. The following diagrams show the dip-switch
positions and the graphs show the resultant frequency response.
The BTS Control is an equalizer style control, offering both boost and cut
at the same frequency locations. The controls feature a center detent (notch)
that lets you know when no equalization is in effect.
