  • Jackson Active Electronics

    I recently bought a Fusion USA (thanks again to The Eristic [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]) I haven't gotten around to setting it up yet because I've had a lot going on. So my question is.... do the pickups use a battery like EMG's? I'm assuming so because they're "active" pickups.

    The pickups aren't active, but the pre-amp uses a battery.

      The pre-amp changes the output to a low impedance signal AFTER the p/u's, pots and switches. With EMG's, the entire circut is low-imp.

        Actually EMG pickups work the exact same way, but the preamp is encased in the pickup (if you really wanna get anal) [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
