Thanks for your comments!That makes pefrect sense about the battery ground, I’m kind of embarrassed I didn’t think of that. It is definitely a good thing to have a way to break the circuit, but I really would have rather them put a switch on the output jack or something like that. I really don’t like having to unplug the guitar everytime I’m done with it.As for the external power supply, I was concerned that it will add noise to the signal. I might try to rig it up and see how bad it is. I just wish there was something better than putting that damn battery in the control cavity.
