Re: Blackout/AHB1 18v mod????
I don't think that the 18v mod is recommended for the Blackouts. The 18v mod basicall increases headroom and decreases compression on the EMGs (IIRC). Then again, SD active pups are not as compressed as EMGs either.
I wouldn't do it if I were you.

Re: Blackout/AHB1 18v mod????
I looked into this when I changed from EMG pups to go with Blackouts, because I always did the 18v mod on all of my EMG equipped guitars. The Blackouts won't get hurt from doing an 18v mod but you won't notice any difference. Do not take this as fact as I merely read it on the Internet and my Blackout equipped guitars are still 9v and sound to me, better than the old EMG pups ever did. That's just my opinion, either way good luck.

Re: Blackout/AHB1 18v mod????
Apologies for the necro bump, but this is one of the things I was questioning about the Blackouts vs. the EMG's. I am considering a set of the Phase 2's for one of my guitars - which also has the 9-18V mod in it. I guess now I know that I can install the battery jumper clip on one of the harnesses and keep it a 9V system when I do install and try them.
Thanks for this! ...And BTW, this was found using the search function!!!
