Active Pickups + Active Preamp - A Question

Dec 23, 2005

I've recently picked up an early 90s Charvel JP with a Reflex Silver pickup system (imagine EMGs with an external preamp). The stock pots and input jack are pretty shot, so I was thinking of installing a Noll TCM3 I have to hand. I'm wondering if I should run them both off a single 9V battery, install two batteries for 18V or try to run seperate battries for the pickups and pre - though I'm not sure this is even possible with just one input jack.

Are therea ny electronics whizz kids out there who can help? Thanks.
