Description
EMG Buss B245 Pickup Buss (Red/Green/Black Hub)
The EMG B245 is a professional wiring interface designed for two-pickup guitars requiring clean signal routing and flexible pickup architecture. This metal component hub handles the critical junction between pickups, active power delivery, and switching logic—eliminating the need for direct soldering and streamlining installation. Built to EMG's standard for reliability, it serves recording engineers and producers who demand modular, repeatable wiring solutions for session-ready instruments.
Signal Path & Connectivity
The B245 consolidates pickup signals, power distribution, and switch control into a single organized hub, ensuring transparent signal transfer without degradation. Its dual 6-pin headers—one with BLACK shroud for pickup input/output and one with RED shroud for V+ supply—ensure correct polarity and eliminate guesswork during assembly. A two-section terminal block manages selection switch and ground connections, while an alternate switch send/return accommodates guitars equipped with standard 0.10" (2.54mm) connectors.
Pickup Flexibility & Power Delivery
This hub accepts both Active and Passive EMG Pickups without modification, making it ideal for instruments that need tonal flexibility across sessions or future reconfiguration without rewiring. The dedicated V+ buss supplies battery power to active pickups and EMG accessories, maintaining consistent voltage delivery and stable tone across the system. The solder-free design reduces assembly time and potential connection failures, keeping instruments session-ready and reliable.
