After reading about the EMG 18v mod in a thread here on UG, I decided I'd give it a try in my Dean 79 Series V. I went to Radio Shack and bought a pack of 9-volt battery clips. They only sell them in packs of five, but I only needed three of them. I got home and made a removable harness out of the three clips (in case I didn't like the mod...it would be a cinch to go back to the 9v). After about five minutes of soldering, I was done! I love the sound. There seems to be more mid-range and more sustain with less compression. If you have active EMG's, I recommend this mod. It's a quick, easy, and cheap modificaiton that actually works. Click here and scroll down to "Figure 3" near the bottom of the page. That's how I did my mod on my V.
