Circuit Breaker cables

[thindave]

Here's a question I'll put out to all but Koogs...

If I leave one of these planet waves cables in my AL w/ the silent circuit and piezo, will the internal battery drain if I turn the circuit "off" at the cable end?

Dave,

I'm guessing that the battery will still drain. The physical presence of the 1/4" plug is what switches the battery on. It's not like it uses the instrument cable as a conductor to complete some sort of circuit. When the cord is plugged into the guitar's jack, the circuit (which resides completely within the guitar) is switched on.

Thanks Steve, I figured so but thought I'd use up some bits anyway...
