+18 Volt Wiring Option:
If you want to operate your instrument at +18 Volts for more
headroom then use 2 batteries wired as below.
Also, if you are using any type of EQ in your instrument
(EMG-BT, BQ) or anything that boosts the pickup signal then
+18 Volts is recommended.
Solder the Black and Red
wires together and cover
the connection with shrink
tubing, or other insulation.
