That's all there is to it, right? Like The Original 24v Mod on ebay/the interwebz?Yeah, that is what I did. I think I got a 5 pack of cases, then a stack of A23 batteries and 9v battery clips.

Yeah pretty much. I found a 20pk of 24v a23 cases on eBay and a 10pk of 9v clips on Amazon. $15 total lolThat's all there is to it, right? Like The Original 24v Mod on ebay/the interwebz?
I might go the build your own route too. I'm thinking about that mod for my Dingwalls but I'm unsure if the ones with Darkglass preamps can take that voltage. My Combustion has an EMG pre, so that should be okay I'd guess?Yeah pretty much. I found a 20pk of 24v a23 cases on eBay and a 10pk of 9v clips on Amazon. $15 total lol
You'd need to double check the specs to make sure they can handle the voltage. Fwiw I don't even know if EMG preamps can handle it. I know their *pickups* can since they're rated for a max of 27vI might go the build your own route too.

AFAIK the preamps at rated at 18V, or at least I recall the 24V mod guy saying it's not compatible with the preamps.You'd need to double check the specs to make sure they can handle the voltage.

Yep, just solder the wires, and I covered my connections with shrink tubing. Just be careful with polarity.That's all there is to it, right? Like The Original 24v Mod on ebay/the interwebz?
Yeah I had to mismatch them. Black to positive, red to negativeYep, just solder the wires, and I covered my connections with shrink tubing. Just be careful with polarity.
I got Energizer Max A23s, so I think mine will last longer, lol....So now my issue is that I only ran out of batteries. I only had a 5 pack of A23s. I ended up buying a bulk pack. Apparently these last only a couple of months vs the year + 9Vs can.
...Of course I bitch about Fishmans for the same reason. but IME the A23s can be cheaper than 9Vs.
