I am woking on a new guitar build. For electronics I am using:
1) Set of Billy Gibbons single coil sized humbuckers
2) 1 Vol, 2 Tone 250K pots
3) Hyperswitch
4) Gain pre-amp
5) Fishman 9V rechargeable battery
Here are my questions:
1) Does the Hyperswitch need battery power when it is not in use?
2) What function is being performed by the Hyperswitch in its low power mode?
All of the wiring diagrams for the Hyperswitch show a direct connect to a 9V source. Optimally I would like to wire by changing to a TRS jack, and wiring the 9V negative through the ring and sleeve so that power is activated when the guitar cable is inserted in the jack to complete the circuit. I always wire pre-amps/buffers this way to maximize battery life.
Is there any reason this would not work for the Hyperswitch?
Thanks in advance.
