Re: Blackout Modular Preamp question
Or you can put down the bong and come back to reality rather than quoting a Twitter philosopher (I'm not being serious - don't take it personal).
The coils in active EMGs (I'll use the 81 as an example) are hardwired in parallel inside the pickup, then the start wires go to the enclosed EMG preamp input, while the finish wires go to ground (the EMG preamp output is the pickup's "hot" wire, bare is ground, and red is the power source's (+) wire). Then, the entire enclosure is then epoxied in place - in other words, you cannot get to the EMG coil wires without destroying the pickup. Why do you need access to the coil wires? Because the Blackouts Modular Preamp requires four wires from two coils - the north coil's start/finish wires, and the south coil's start/finish wires. However, even if you had access to the EMG's coil wires (you don't, but if you did), you wouldn't be able to use both preamps the way they were intended: you can't wire the preamps in series, but you could in theory wire them in parallel (splitting each coil's wires into two wires, one set of 4 wires to get to each preamp. However, the schematic for the Blackouts Modular Preamp is not available, and the circuit may not even work in parallel with another preamp - simply due to a difference in design.
TL;DR because I couldn't put down the bong long enough: It's not happening. You can't access the EMG's inner wires that are essential to the functionality of the BMP.

It helps me understand trig functions - position being represented by a sine function. Up down up down up down. It makes math a lot easier to understand.

Re: Blackout Modular Preamp question
if you put your camel crap bong down you could at least wire some EMG's HZ to the blackouts preamp, an H4 and an H4A wich will be as close as you can get to run and 81-85 combo trhough the blackouts preamp.
don't worry as also i cannot get my eyes far from Myaccount876's sig photo..... that shaking is hypnotizing.....

As long as the girl in the sig isn't your daughter, it's a-okay because she is 18+ lol. Doppelgängers are fair game.
