Guitar body 0.25 inch jack socket with switch

Aug 10, 2011 1 Replies

Is the isolated switch just for the situation of switching on an inbuilt guitar amplifier or is it somehow wired in to cut plug-in bangs through an amplifier. I don't see how the latter as first contact would be the tip of the guitar lead will hit the ground/shell of the socket , and so act as stray pickup, before anything else is electrically connected


It is to switch the negative side of the battery supply to either an active onboard preamp, active pickups, or both.
