Some of ya my know my 2002 Epi Les paul Custom is Uber Modified from the get go, so what else can I do with some time off. MOD IT.
First off this is what I had, stock 9 volt set up. And all you'll need.

As you can see she's pretty hot-rodded to start with.

First off, disconnect the batteries,Then the batteries ground wire at the output Jack.
EMG shrink wraps this from the factory assembly.

Well its gotta go. ...
I took a razor blade and gently scribed a cut into the shrink wrap,then peeled it away exposing the soldered connection

Everyone fallowing so far? SLICKSTER. STOP TALKING TO BEN AND PAY ATTENTION. ...

With a soldering iron heat and remove the ground wire from the output jack.
Take that same wire and connect and solder it the the RED wire of the new 9 volt clip I bought at my local RADIO SHACK. for $1.00.

Then I taped the connection to avoid shorting out. THIS IS THE ONLY OPEN CONNECTION.....

Now we run the new 9 volt clips ground wire (black) through the output jacks router hole and we solder it to the output jack.

Now all we have is to stuff the two batteries I wrapped in some foam supplied by EMG into the control cavity. I FOUND THAT THEY FIT NICELY IN THE ROUTER LOBE ABOVE THE TONE CONTROLL AS SHOWN HERE. ..

Now all we have left is a sound test, and button her up. ....

Thats it kiddies, an awsome, Cheap, effective mod that you cant screw up by fallowing my simple instructions. ..have fun and
GET-CHA-PULL..................JODY.
