Yesterday i experienced something a little odd, i took my black Breadwinner over to a friend to lay down some Breadwinner sound on his new portable studio setup. Cool!!

The uncool thing was that my guitar was dead, no signal what so ever. First check: Cable, no probs. Second Check: Battery, as flat as something really flat : I So now im full of questions, why did i not bring spare 9Vs? Or better, why are they flat in the first place? I have only had it hooked up for a few hours with these new batteries, and if im not mistaking they only use power while plugged in.

Anyone else with a similare experience and perhaps a fix? (dead batteries after just some hrs use?)

Regards

Possibly check/replace the jack on the guitar.

You might have bad contacts that are not disconnecting power to the pre when you unplug.

Yes, this might be it, thanks a lot. Ill check it out.
The batteries were absolute flat, my Breadwinne did complete drain.

This might be a fix or perhaps not, if anyone has a different fix please contribute.
