Its not really a guitar question, just about a guitar circuit. I changed the pre amp on my hollow guitar a couple of years ago. Recently I changed the wiring so that it has an xlr and quarter jack output, both balanced. Whereas the battery in the preamp used to last about two months with light but regular use, now it lasts about a week. So, there is obviously a draw on it when its not in use. It works just fine, very slight hum at high volume, but I am not sure thats not the poor earth in most Spanish domestic/bar and cafe circuits.
Is it possible that the balanced output wiring is draining the battery and if so why would it? I repeat, I have not found any other fault with it.
Cheers
Mike
