Location: Cambridge, England | I've just bought my first ovation but the preamp doesn't seem to work.I've read that there should be an output as soon as I plug in my lead but this doesn't happen. The only output I get is when I turn on the tuner, which only lasts for 60 seconds (not much good if you're playing live!).
Any ideas? |

Have you tried swapping the battery?
Also what Ovation is it? |

I have just changed the battery and it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
It is a CU 147 Pinnacle. |

If you bought it 2nd hand contact the seller.
Or take it to your local friendly guitar luthier... |

Location: Denmark | I don't know if this is relevant to Ovations or to you but I heard that some guitars have problems when using a stereo jack ... but in Ovations the signal goes from the preamp to the receptacle using a wire and if that wire is loose or something signal will disappear the way you describe. |

When I received my first ovation, my preamp did not seem to work either, but I soon realized that the preamp was not fully engaged. A good firm press and it clicks back into place. Also the tuner stays on long enough to easly tune all the strings...hope this helps |
