Hello,

maybe someone of you can help me.

I bought a second hand Adamas W597 Melissa Etheridge, from 2002. When I connect the Guitar cable between the mixer to the guitar ( 1/4" ) sound only comes as long as the tuner is switched on. When tuner shuts down after some seconds also signal to the amp is down.

Hello,

me again - found out the problem myself.

I grabbed the cable which belongs to my Taylor K4.
It has a more contact.

Used a normal guitar cable - anything fine again.

Thanks

I had that same problem trying to use a cable with 3 contacts (can't remember what it is called)on my "T" with OP30.

Needed it with the alesis mini mixer to cancel hum. Took me awhile to figure it out.
