b5111987 Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 iv built a phaser into on of the guitars im makin and i was wanting to know when the phase was in the case the battery went to a stero jack on the input side but now its in my guitar can i use a stereo jack even though it would technically be on the output side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 that's not a stereo jack, at least it shouldn't be. it's a mono jack w/ a built in on/off switch for the phaser. that way the battery isn't draining when the guitar isn't plugged in. you can use that jack for your output. just leave the connections for the battery and switch the wire going to it from the input to the out put of the phaser. then have your guitar's output going to the phaser's input. piece of pie, er...i mean cake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegarehanman Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 I prefer to have a guitar that just puts out a super clean signal and then do whatever I want with it with my pedal board and amp quite honestly. but whatever boats your float.

lovekraft Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 that's not a stereo jack, at least it shouldn't be. it's a mono jack w/ a built in on/off switch for the phaser.Technically, you're right, but most F/X manufacturers simply use a stereo TRS jack to do the switching. The battery ground is wired to the Ring terminal, so when a mono plug is inserted, the battery ground is shorted to the circuit ground. And yes, you can use a stereo jack that way at the guitar's output to switch the battery - most active setups, including EMGs, are wired that way.
