3 Pickup Guitars using a selection switch:
The EXG Control is larger than EMG’s other accessories, so it is shown
installed in Strat* installations in the middle control position with the tone
control shown in the last control position.
Diagrams #7, #8, and #9 show a typical installation with a Volume/Tone/EXG in a
“daisy-chain” series wiring. The only difference between the the diagrams
is the order in which the controls are wired. All diagrams yield the same
results. The diagrams have been edited to show the EXG input, output,
and power (9V+). The pickup inputs, battery, and “ring”contact to the jack
have been omitted for clarity.
All diagrams also show the B161 5-Position switch buss. To learn more
about the B161 5-Position switch Buss, go to the EMG Website:

Refer to Diagram #6
Start by installing the EXG as shown in Diagram #7.
1) Plug a coax cable from the switch output to the Volume control.
2) Plug a coax cable from the Volume control to the Tone control.
3) Plug a coax cable from the Tone control to the input of the EXG.
Be sure to reverse the connector on the input of the EXG as shown.
4) Plug the output cable from the EXG to the output jack.
5) Plug the Red wire from the EXG to one of the supply pins on the
B161 Switch Buss.
Be sure the 3 shunts are installed on the bypass header of the
B161 switch or you won’t get any output from the guitar.
Refer to Diagram #7
Start by installing the EXG as shown in Diagram #8.
1) Plug a coax cable from the switch output to the Tone control.
2) Plug a coax cable from the Tone control to the input of the EXG.
Be sure to reverse the connector on the input of the EXG as shown.
3) Plug a coax cable from the output of the EXG to the Volume control.
4) Plug the output cable from the Volume control to the output jack.
5) Plug the Red wire from the EXG to one of the supply pins on the
B161 Switch Buss.
Be sure the 3 shunts are installed on the bypass header of the
B161 switch or you won’t get any output from the guitar.
Refer to Diagram #8
Diagram #8 shows 2 active controls installed. This would be
similar to the X Series Pickups that use an active tone (VLPF)
and adding the EXG Control.
Start by installing the EXG as shown in Diagram #9.
1) Plug a coax cable from the switch output to the Volume control.
2) Plug a coax cable from the Volume control to the input of the EXG.
Be sure to reverse the connector on the input of the EXG as shown.
3) Plug a coax cable from the output of the EXG to the input of the VLPF.
Be sure to reverse the connector on the input of the VLPF as shown.
4) Plug the output cable from the VLPF to the output jack.
5) Plug the Red wires from both the VLPF and EXG to the extra 9V+
supply pins on the B161 Switch Buss.
Be sure the 3 shunts are installed on the bypass header of the
B161 switch or you won’t get any output from the guitar.
