can use even if the amps are separated by meters. If you forgot to bring it
to the gig, then use two cables, as in (b).
You must remove the cable when you are done playing; otherwise the
battery will deplete.
There is a fourth possibility that is not exactly useful, but it is good to
mention it in order to highlight a small detail in the operation of this guitar:
d.
Guitar Cable in #1, Insert Cable in #2
You can route the signals to two separate amps for your piezo and your
magnetic pickups, so it is equivalent to case (b), except it is more expensive
and less elegant. That’s not good, so this shouldn’t be in this list of useful
combinations. But perhaps you are trying this because you want to connect
a third amplifier. This won’t work because,
the moment you connect a plug
in jack #1, the signal from the magnetic pickup will only be available there.
This is done to preserve the output of the magnetic pickup in case (b), which is really
useful for the player but has the problem that the ring of jack #2 would get a direct path to
ground due to the TS plug there.
You must remove the cable from #2 when you are done playing; otherwise
the battery will deplete.
