SH-680A
and SH-663 Wiring
This schematic shows
how to wire Shadow active pickups in a humbucker and two
single coil configuration. You can also combine two
SH-680A pickups for Les Paul style guitars or three
SH-663 pickups for strat style guitars in the same manner
as shown here. Battery power is switched on by
plugging a cable into the output socket. For
maximum battery life always unplug the cable from the
socket when not in use. When the sound becomes weak
or distorted replace the battery.
SH-EQ5
Wiring
This wiring schematic
shows how to wire the SH-EQ5 and two additional passive
pickups (SH-660 shown) with switching for single coil and
passive modes. In this example, switch 1 (SW 1) is
a push-pull switch (SH-122) on the volume control pot and
selects between humbucker (switch down) and single coil
(switch up) mode. Switch 2 (SW 2) selects between
"active" (EQ on) mode (switch down) and
"passive" (EQ off) mode (switch up). You
can also
use SPST mini toggle switches instead of the push-pull
switches. Note that the passive pickups also go
through the EQ/preamp circuit and become active. To
conserve battery life you should always unplug the guitar
when not in use.
 Make
your EQ5 sound like any classic pickup!
