# One Blackout active humbucker, volume Canonical page: https://guitarwiring.app/wiring-diagrams/seymour-duncan/one-blackout-active-humbucker-volume Blackout active · One volume · Stereo jack battery switch One Blackout active humbucker, volume. Transcribed from the manufacturer wiring sheet. Drawing: https://guitarwiring.app/wiring-diagrams/seymour-duncan/one-blackout-active-humbucker-volume.svg (back of controls) ## Parts and values - Blackout humbucker: Blackout humbucker; generic (Blackouts Active Humbucker) - Volume 25K: Volume 25K; 25k; compatible example (EMG 25K Pot) - Stereo output jack: Stereo output jack; compatible example (Switchcraft \#12B) - 9V battery clip: 9V battery clip; compatible example (9V Battery Clip) - Bridge ground: Bridge ground; generic (Bridge ground wire) ## Specific to this wiring - White is the signal lead; bare is ground; red is +9V as drawn on the source sheet. - Stereo jack ring switches battery negative to ground when a plug is inserted. ## Connections 1. Blackout humbucker gnd → Volume 25K casing (wire, bare) 2. Volume 25K lug1 → Volume 25K casing (wire, ground) 3. Stereo output jack sleeve → Volume 25K casing (wire, black) 4. Bridge ground ground → Volume 25K casing (wire, black) 5. Blackout humbucker hot → Volume 25K lug3 (wire, white) 6. Blackout humbucker vplus → 9V battery clip vplus (wire, red) 7. 9V battery clip vminus → Stereo output jack ring (wire, black) 8. Volume 25K lug2 → Stereo output jack tip (wire, black) ## What each position does - Always on (active): No pickup reaches the output. Source: Passive simulation is not applied to active Blackout pickups; wiring topology only. - Active pickup gain and frequency response are not simulated. ## Check before plugging in ## Source Tinkercaster's own drawing of the Seymour Duncan diagram 1BO\_1V, revision 1.
