Got one of these from Al and it is the ultimate cool accessory!

It allows you to test the battery while installed and tells you how many hours of use you have left and at what capacity the battery is.

No more having to pop off the strings on my older guitars or pop out the preamp on the newer ones and then guess if they have a full charge or not.

Here is a link that shows it in use.

Inexpensive for what it does!!!!!!

I highly recommend that any of our gigging/open mic members contact Al and grab one of these suckers.

Way cool!

Of course licking the battery still works good too.


If you can find someone stupid enough to lick it for you.
"tastes salty" = replace soon
Head snaps back = good for a little bit yet
chicken dance = full power
sparks/fried skin = not the car battery stupid!

but you would have to have a Gene Simmons type tongue to lick it while still inside the guitar....

hence why this is nice rather than having to remove the strings to get inside to that stupid little box.

None of them.


...but all of the A/E's have a 1/4" output jack.

Directions say to plug it into an "input" jack.
I used to write technical documents so I'm a stickler for details.

My point was, judging by the ad this is designed for stomp boxes, which do have input jacks.
The only "input" jacks you'll find on an O are on the preamp, and they're 1/8" or ribbon.

Sorry, Colin. Sarcasm is so hard to get in print sometimes. Slipkid is a pro at it, however.
