Well, I just finished up eveything last night on the install and thought i had no output. this morning I looked at everything, removed all the connections, and started over. same. on a 100 watt Marshall I had nothing audible at volume 2. by the time i hit volume 4ish, i could her signal coming from the guitar but it sounded to weak that it seemed like the amp volume was almost completely off.
is this what i get for buying open box?
EMG's video said plug them in with the little metal pins exposed through the holes on one side up, so i did.
guitar is a Gibson SG with 1 volume and 1 tone.
I also pulled the battery and put it in my PRS with a Seymour Duncan Blackout preamp and it worked just fine. just to triple check i ran the PRS with no battery and the battery for the SG is working (it is also brand new).
with no battery in the PRS (Blackout preamp with Seymour Duncan Invader and Jazz) it still had more output than the EMG's in my SG.
ideas? pull it all out and take it back?
