Blackout Modular Preamp

I am curious if the Blackout Preamp Pot I see mentioned turns passive pu into active etc.
The compatability issues is what I am worried about, I see they claim works with 4 wire PU's?
I have a SH-8 Invader in Bridge a V7 in neck and S1 Middle in my Ibanez
The Sh-8 is the only 4 Wire PU the V7 is 3 and of course the S1 is 2 wire
Will I be able to wire this in? I cannot find a wiring diagram anywhere to read and see if I can use it or not.
If I can only use it with my SH-8 I would be better off to buy a Set of AHB-1 or AHB-3 Blackouts
 
Re: Blackout Modular Preamp

Basically if I could find a Wiring Diagram I could tell, The normal Vol and Tone run off of the Switch which at that point doesn't matter if the PU is 2 Wire or 18 wire. if the directions had me connect like my current vol pot I would be fine.

It does not get wired the same as your current setup. You can make it work, though.

If you can find out how to wire and connect the single coil and the neck pickup to the BMP, I'd say give it a try. But on the other handif you can't get the other 2 pickups wired up to the BMP, I would also consider trying the Blackouts set with the middle single coil. To make the install even easier, you can order and use the EMG wiring system...

It comes with everything you need - pots (volume and tone), 5-way switch, jack and all wiring needed to connect everything. But I would first consider trying to get a hold of someone at Duncan to see if you can get those other 2 pickups wired up to the BMP before you go the route of replacing all 3 pickups with the Blackouts...

Either way, good luck!
