Dolando Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 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?

neepheid Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 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.

Dolando Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
