RG2228: 18v Mod?

Qucifer · 12-22-2007, 05:23 PM

Has anyone attempted to run the electronics in the RG2228 off of 18 volts?

Like most EMG setups, I'm sure it'll work fine. My only concern is the control cavity--I'm pretty sure it's not big enough to hold 2 batteries.

i'll getting my rg2228 back with the lundgrens in it today. here's hoping it sounds good! IF not i may have to go back to the emg's. i've been curious about the 18v mod.

try it with the batteries hanging out, then get a 2 battery battery box installed if you like it.

i've liked the 18v mod alot on the 7 string emg's, let us know how it goes on 808s

Definitely post pictures of that if possible! I'd love to see it!

I would imagine it would sound great.

Sounds great in my Epi 7.

It's simple- wire another 9v in series with the one already there. Then, just find a place to put it.

lol use two batteries. its not really a mod per set. you can actually do em at 27v, but thats not really noticable, and the extra tone circuits like the exg, ab, and ya ya are only rated to run at 18v, not 27
