Installation instructions.jpg (26244 bytes)

The installation procedure is simple - just replace the tone capacitor with the REACTOR Tone Pack. And to install the Vintage Cooler simply solder the leads to the volume pot as shown below.

These illustrations are provided to help you visualize the process with a couple of different guitar wiring configurations that exist. If you have doubts in your understanding or equipment, please seek a professional as the packs are not indestructible and should be handled with moderate care. The installation process is quick and simple, and should not be expensive to have it performed for you.

INSTALLATION A - FOR GUITARS WITH THE CAPACITOR CONNECTED BETWEEN THE TONE AND VOLUME POTS: Remove the capacitor and then solder the REACTOR PACK leads to the same legs on each potentiometer where the capacitor used to be connected. For added security, you may then solder or glue the pack to the cavity bottom. A small tab is provided at one end of the metal frame that can be used as a convenient attachment point for this purpose.

INSTALLATION B - FOR GUITARS WITH THE CAPACITOR CONNECTED TO THE TONE POT BACKSHELL: Remove the capacitor and then solder one of the REACTOR PACK leads to the same leg on the potentiometer where the capacitor was connected (it does not matter which pack lead) and then solder the other pack lead to the backshell. For added security, you may then solder or glue the pack to the top of the backshell. A small tab is provided at one end of the metal frame that can be used as a convenient attachment point for this purpose.

INSTALL THE VINTAGE COOLER pack on your volume pot as shown here. You may then solder or glue the pack itself to the pot backshell for added security, or the pack may be secured along side the volume pot - however you prefer. A small tab on the pack frame is provided for convenient attachment to the cavity or volume pot backshell.

**AFTER INSTALLATION check to make sure that none of the small wiring on the sides of the pack is touching anything else in the cavity including any black paint or shielding foil. Also ensure that the pack leads do not touch anything else. Any of these problems would cause either total loss of bass response or loss of the signal entirely when the control is turned down.**

If you are in the Atlanta Metro area,  you can have a quick, professional installation for just $10 per GUITAR,

regardless of how many Tone Packs are being installed!
