Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | On the new 12 fretter the OP Pro Preamp has a 1/8" jack marked "In" into which the pickup is plugged. It also has an 1/8" jack marked "Out" but is empty, as if waiting to accept that 1/8" plug coming from the pickup...
My question is this, "What's it for?"
Nothing in the manual about it and I have never seen it on any of my other O's. I'm kinda hoping that if I reverse it, it will tear a hole in the fabric of the Spacetime continuim. |

It's on the way. Stay close to home.
I pulled the back off my 1537 to do a little comparison. Of course, it has two "In" jacks coming from the stereo pickup (one for each channel)
But it doesn't get me any closer to understanding what would be coming OUT of the OP Pro preamp that WOULDN'T already be going out through the quarter inch and the XLR jacks (which are wired correctly) |

Wire it through a sound hole and just plug it in to and active speaker? Sounds strange to me. |

Location: closely held secret | Jeff, is it between the in-from-pickup jack and the out-to-1/4" jack on the OP? Mine has an unused hole in the can there.
Now you got me looking - wonder why my 'unbalanced' 1/4" output comes off the OP with a 1/8" TRS plug?? |

As I look down thru the rear access panel at the bottom of the preamp housing, the XLR harness is to the far right. Less than a half inch to the left is the 1/8th inch "In" from the pickup. To the left of that less than a half inch is what looks to be empty hole for the installation of another 1/8th inch jack. To the left of that about a half inch and slightly offset, is the 1/8th inch "Out" jack, though nothing is plugged into it. |

Location: closely held secret | Huh. That's where my 'out' cable to the 1/4" is plugged in.
Where does your 1/4" jack run to? Is it integrated with the XLR somehow? |

I have plugged in to the 1/4inch and it does work. Maybe it is a vestigial jack on guitars with the XLR out?? |

Location: closely held secret | Apparently so. I saw only 4 pins on the XLR jack, maybe they share a common ground. |

Location: closely held secret | Is the wire to your 1/4" coming off your XLR?
If so, then yeah, looks like they're using a common ground to both.
So, what other uses could you put that 'aux' out to, since you seem to prefer your 'acoustic only' bongos to the new Kaman "BB-PRO" acoustic-electric bongos? Maybe some in-ear monitors? :eek: |

Trboy was on the nose...
...'cept of course for my dog ordering me in-ear monitors as opposed to an external speaker. |
