    There is a physical circuit board wired to the VU knob. I believe the actual pickups themselves are passive.

      They are passive for sure. Somebody here will come up with a wiring diagram. I have seen them posted.

            Jackson's got a few different active circuits. There's a mid boost, there's a preamp booster, and there's some kind of wah sweep circuit. I think the preamp booster was the only one that used a switch, the others you usually turn with one of the tone pots.

                <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">never heard about this "wah effect circuit"?
                you're not talking about active EQ, are you?

                  I don't remember the model number offhand (JE-something), but instead of acting like a normal tone control, it would sweep the frequencies from low to high when you turned it... kind of the same effect when moving your foot back and forth on a wah pedal. I know the old Warriors had that circuit. Might have been like a parametric eq type of thing, but I'm not too sure offhand.

                    I think that's it, what I found in ebay lately...
