EMG MODEL:B136RE PUSH-PULL POT FOR
EMG-89 AND ACTIVE EMG-TW PICKUPS
General INFORMATION:
The EMG B136rE is a Push-Pull Switch (DPDT) combined with a 25K Pot onto a split shaft control. The Push-Pull switch provides a convenient way
to choose either Single-Coil or Dual-Coil sounds from Active EMG-TW Style Pickups. The 25K Pot can be used as a Volume or Tone Control for the
pickup, or it can be used as a Master Volume or Master Tone Control for the instrument. The B136 uses EMG's standard solderless installation
system. The B136 version described in this data sheet is thE "E" Version that allows daisy-chaining of volume controls without any extra
connnectors.
The B136 has 2 Sections.
Section 1) Push-Pull Switch:
This is the single in-line 6 pin header.
This header is for the pickup input.
Section 2) 25K Audio Taper pot:
The dual-header labeled H1 thru H6 directs how the pot functions.
The Pot can be used in 4 different ways:
1) Volume Control for the pickup only
2) Tone Control for the pickup only
3) Master Volume Control for the entire instrument
4) Master Tone Control for the entire instrument
Using the B136 with EMG-X Series Pickups:
The Tone Control for the B136 is passive. It is not suitable for EMG-X
Series Pickups. If you are using the B136 with EMG X-Series Pickups
it should be used as a Volume Control only, either for the Pickup or as a
Master Volume.
