HB105 wiring same as Blackouts?

[warlok]

I have a pair of HB105 Duncan Designed actives that I'm putting in an Ibanez with 1V, 1T, and 3 way. Is the wiring the same as Blackouts? Or does anyone have a diagram if they are different?
Thanks

I think the color coding is different than in OG SD pickups. In SD black is hot, but if I remember well the one Duncan Designed set I once had, the green was the hot instead of the black. But other than that it should be pretty much the same I think. Be aware of pot values though! If the guitar had passive electronics before, you will have to get 25kOhm pots and also a stereo output jack!

Yep, I have all the pots, jack, switch, etc. Thanks for the info on the colors. Another question.. Pulling up the wiring diagram on SD site, when I put in HB's, Blackouts for both PU's, 1 volume, it doesn't let me put in a tone pot. Any idea why?

No idea. Can't do it neither. But I would try using this:

Ignore the different pot values and you're left with a 1 vol, 1 tone, 3 way toggle, 2 avtive hb diagram. It should work unless the Blackouts have some quirk that I don't know abot. Never used one, but hopefully someone else chimes in with more experience.

Thanks man. From pics online (haven't removed the DD's from the guitar yet) it looks like the Blackouts and the HB105's both have red/white/bare so should be the same wiring.

That link doesnt work for me, just brings me to the wiring diagrams chooser page.

Here's an SD diagram that features 1 tone pot.

See the note that says the value of the capacitor needs to be 0.47uf, not the traditional 0.047uf.

Hah, it is indeed wrong link! Sorry bout that! I meant to post the Dave Mustaine active diagram, because I couldn't select anything else active 2 hum, 1 vol, 1 tone... While very helpful, that part of thr site has some serious holes in it...

It does, and the wiring diagrams themselves have a few issues, too. Always a good idea to ask here first.
