Please help me with this Pope pre! Where's my Fodera peeps @?

I recently acquired this through a trade. I was told it is a Pope preamp, but it has no markings that say so.

Can someone please:

1. Confirm this is a Pope preamp.

2. Suggest pickup selections for my Modulus Q5, which currently has EMG 40DC's. (I LOVE the Bart soaps in my Q6 with the Aggie OBP3, I also really enjoy the single coil Barts in my MT-5.)

3. Although it looks straight forward, can someone confirm how to wire it correctly.

I am happy to take more pics, and probably will later this evening.

Thanks very much!

This is a good idea.

Mike seems to be quite busy at the present time. I'm not going to take it personally, but can anyone help me determine the correct wiring for a pair of 4-wire Barts?? The black and white wires are there, so that's easy enough. Will I fry anything if i do trial and error on the other 2 wires?

Mike Pope (aka The Pontif on TB) is the man for this job. That is a custom Preamp and is different than the Pope / Fodera Preamp with which I am familiar...

I actually had some success just winging this last night. I will try to contact Mike again to see if he can tell me how to split the coils.
