Installation notes:
(Signature Model)
The EMG-ALX set includes either an ALX Pickup or the F-ALX (Floyd Rose Spacing) and the ABQ Preamp. The ALX/F-ALX Pickups are slightly overwound
humbucking pickups that feature a ceramic magnet for clarity. The ABQ Pre-amp has a Push-Pull Pot with an adjustable boost in the down position.
As an additonal feature the input of the ABQ Pre-amp has a 3-position dip switch that allows the resonance of the pickup to be altered to a variety
of fixed frequencies. There are two different instruction sets for the ALX Set. This set of instructions is for the Alexi Laiho Signature Model.
The alternate set of instructions is for guitars that are wired differently than the Signature Model or, that may have more than one pickup.
For further information go to http://www.emgpickups.com.
SPECIAL NOTE: The Red Wire of the HZ Pickup Cable is NOT for battery power, it is a coil wire.
EMG-ABQ PRE-AMP (Frequency Selection)
The 3-position dip switch allows you to change the resonant frequency at the input to the pre-amp.
The frequencies will be different if you use a passive pickup other than the ALX.
If you use an Active EMG Pickup the switches will not make any change.
