There is more than one way, but the simplest to start with is from volume pedal out to Steel Dream input on the end of the unit, and from either Output 1 or Output 2 on the back of the unit to your am ...

I don't see a model designation on the top of the pickup e.g., E66, EON etc. That is almost always a 10-1. That is also consistent with your DC Ohms reading compared to the above ...

Whether a pickup works well with an active or passive volume pedal is largely subjective. I use a Hilton VP most of the time. A couple of pickups you might similar to the 710 are the Lawrence XR16 and ...
