My battery went dead overnight. Is this because it was plugged into the amp? There is no power switch. Thanx, Fred

The battery died because a cable was plugged into the unit. It doesn't matter whether the connection made it to an amp. The circuit is "turned on" when you insert the 1/4 plug. Many players remove the cable between sets to conserve.

yea that will happen --I always unplug my guitars that have these--when its plugged in the EQ is powered up

I can't answer that question in any certainty. But I do know that there a tendency for the battery to drain, and so for that reason I always unplug mine when not in use.

most all of these on-boards run current when plugged in - ours works fine but the things DO eat batteries nonetheless!

Yes. Its the bad thing on this unit. No power switch to save battery. If you don't use your guitar every day, and afraid to loss the battery if taken out of holder, just cut a rectangular piece of paper, wrap around over the battery holder where the terminals are, and push it to the battery slot. Its the easiest and simplest thing that I think. Just make sure that the paper in long enough for its easier to pull out from the slot. In short , "NO BATTERY CONTACTS".

My battery went dead, a couple of times. Until i started taking it out after playing, it last alot longer with this method.

Dear customer, thank you for your suggestion! As requested, I've uploaded the front image of the amp. As for the inside image, could you please allow me some time to communicated with the manufactry to get one. Hopefully I can post it before the coming Tuesday. Thank you!

Does the amp work and power your subs? Trace your wires and make sure everything is in the right place. Do not turn the knob to full on yet cause it can't break easy, put it halfway or under half. And turn your car over and see if it works? If not send me another question and ill look at mine specifically

I had mine hooked up to a car amp.It worked for 5 hours.Then nothing. It is a piece of trash.

I would check to make sure that there is a 9-volt battery in your guitar (by the equalizer). If there is, I would check to make sure that it is good. If not replace it and then it should start working through your amp.

Mine works just fine. This power cutting off thing is not normal. Return it asap!

There's also a switch on the guitar input jack. So if you haven't got a guitar lead plugged in it won't power on. Also remember to pull the guitar lead out when you're not using it or it won't be really swithed off (even though the LED is off) and your batter will go flat

I had this issue at first. But it had to do with the wiring. The little wire that is neither your power or speaker wires. Is what they call an RMA I belive. He is the one that tells the amp on and off with the car. If it's wired incorrectly from the car it won't turn the amp off. And drain the battery. So either check that, or have a shop instal it again for you. That's what I did and had no issues there after. It's definitely not the amp though. Amos are stupid.. You give them power.. They work. You take it away they stop. So it's probably in your wiring.

You would need to make sure you're able to use your amps power section alone. You can find out by looking at the back of the amp/head itself. Otherwise you could try running it through the amps clean channel.

Wow.. Can't say that happened to me. I hooked it directly to the battery. Sounds like you might have a short circuit. Did the wire get pinched or stripped between the battery and the power supply? You might want to try disconnecting at the battery to test.

Mine never made it long enough for the battery to die, the switch went bad or the frequency was lost between the switch and the receiver, I changed the battery thinking that was the cause of my issues but that was not the case. I just gave up and did hard wiring, this item was very unreliable.

From what I have seen installing the unit the answer is no. Once the unit looses power it has to be turned on off of the amp.

Amy I have always had it plug into the power supply , what I can do is check it like that and see how long the battery last and let you know . I am on work right now and will give you a reply when I do so.

I've not noticed any off switch on the guitar. The only thing is the switch to move between the pickup combinations. Have you tried a different cable going between the amp and the guitar or tried the cable with another guitar and amp to make sure the cable is good? Also maybe just bum electronics in the guitar it's self since you say you get sound from the amp.

no the amp draw is almost the same I don't know about 8 hours, hope you also have a battery tender to bring it back to full life overnight.
