I have room, but I'd have to run wires between the current battery box to the cavity and back because the box is right next to the output jack. The hole is too small at the moment, not sure how to enlarge. Am I thinking about this right?Looks like you have room in your cavity. You may possibly be able to remove the battery box and fit two in sideways but then you'll need to figure out how to cover/hold them in place.
hmm, I think I should probably try that first, unless im not thinking about running the 18v correctly.I like the 24v mod because its the same footprint as a 9volt and just plugs right in....

In order to do that, won't I need to run the positive from the new battery in the cavity to the current box, and the negative of the new battery from the cavity to the jack?All you need to do is disconnect it from the jack and connect it to the positive of the added battery and the negative of the new battery to the jack
That is coming off the tone pot and presumably going to the sleeve ground, not battery ground, correct? Is there some way to use this?that the solo black wire in your cavity running to the jack is the one you're after.
Not only that but I like sound and feel of the 24 over 18.I like the 24v mod because its the same footprint as a 9volt and just plugs right in....
The negative wire from your existing battery should be coming directly from the battery to the control cavity. It shouldn't go to the pickup cavities for any reason other than if there is no route hole for it. I would think you should be able to splice the new battery in from the jack/pot/control cavity.In order to do that, won't I need to run the positive from the new battery in the cavity to the current box, and the negative of the new battery from the cavity to the jack?
Brought my guitar to life dude. I was always 50/50 on emg’s until I tried it. Amazeballs for me. And it plugs into your 9 volt terminal like a regular 9v….hmm, I think I should probably try that first, unless im not thinking about running the 18v correctly.
Snake Oil! Jk.Brought my guitar to life dude. I was always 50/50 on emg’s until I tried it. Amazeballs for me. And it plugs into your 9 volt terminal like a regular 9v….
Thanks for clarifying. I might need to make the hole between the cavity and box bigger. I'm with you that I'm totally satisfied with my 18v 81 in the bridge, to the point I can't imagine anything better... But I might just try it given the constraints. I'm with @JackBootedThug , didn't even like my emgs until I did the 18v. Also considering an SD ABH-2 as an alternative.Been satisfied with 18v, but no reason not to evolve. Ever A/B the two mods?
I've been rocking the ABH-1 set in one of my 7 strings. Didn't notice any difference when I tried the 18v mod (not that it was your implied intent, specifically). After reading about it, apparently SD says no effect... I dunno. Can't say for the ABH-2, but not super impressed with my blackouts. Not bad, but reminds me of the equivalent of studio monitors in that they do what they do without any character/nuances if that makes sense. YMMV. GL with your quest!Thanks for clarifying.

Yeah, I have those in the jackson right now. Better than the emg's at 9v, but nothing like the 81 at 18v, to my ears anyway. Sammy Duet rocks the ahb-2. I trust him and like his tone, so that's the motivation, but I don't really hear many people talking about them otherwise. Thanks!I've been rocking the ABH-1
No just tried the 24v…Snake Oil! Jk.
I'll have to try this. Been satisfied with 18v, but no reason not to evolve. Ever A/B the two mods?
she wanted to commit forum sepaku for some reason....and we respect everyone's wish to kill their membership here....Dang @JackBootedThug , where’d Funk’n’ metal go?! Bummer
