Using passive tone controls:
Refer to Diagrams #4 and 4a
Passive tone controls consist of only a pot and capacitor and operate in parallel to ground.
They have an input, but don’t need an output, they are “tacked onto” the pickup signal.
Diagram #4 shows 2 passive tone controls plugged into the buss, one for the Neck Pickup (NEK)
and one for the Bridge Pickup (BRG). It is only necessary to ”send” the signal to a passive
tone control, no “return” is necessary. The 2 shunts must be in place for both pickups to
work when using passive tone controls. Diagram #4a shows the coax cables plugged
into the tone conrols.
Using Active Tone Controls:
Refer to Diagrams #5, #6 and #6a
If you are using an Active tone control like the VLPF, SPC or other EMG Accessory on a
single pickup then using the Tone / EFX Header is for you. For example, you could use the SPC
Control on only the bridge pickup, and perhaps put the EXG on the Rhythm pickup. EMG Accessories
can also be used in series, so you can put more than one effect on any pickup.
Diagram #5 shows the Send cables to the controls, while Diagram #6 shows the Return cables
to the switch. Diagram #6a shows the complete wiring of 2 Active tone controls plugged into the buss.
One for the Neck Pickup (NEK) and one for the Bridge Pickup (BRG)..
