EMG BTS System with passive non EMG Pickups?

[Dolando]

Hello,

I'm looking at getting a EMG BTS System, but I'm a little confused.

Do you have to use active pickups with it?

I want to use some passive pickups that aren't EMG. The website says to use EMG pickups only, I just wondered if there is a reason for this, or is it just marketing, or can you use any passive pickups?

You can use the BTS Control with any pickups. The BTS System has a blend control which only works with EMG pickups. If you use the BTS Control then you use your own pots to handle the volume/blending then feed the results of that to the BTS Control.

Sorry for the late reply, not had a chance to reply. Too much work and not enough play.

I'm not up on my wiring, do you have a diagram on how I would do that?
