Yeah, very ambient, very drone. Luis and Steve played sets which were a little more upbeat, which broke up the bill just right. Ricky Hi Matt.

Ground it to a bit of PCB with the grounds of the jack sockets. I have no noticeable noise on the separate signals. The piezoelectric P/Us are very clean. Only thing is the signal is a little on the low side, which is to be expected, but this is easily fixed post break out box. RE: Power. Yes, one battery (+) to pin 12. (-) to shield.

I was told that using an aluminium enclosure would be better for shielding, but I see you used a plastic box. How noisy are the separate signals compared to the direct guitar output? Do you notice deterioration? Secondly, you only mention one battery connected to pin 12. What do you do for applying the negative voltage? Another battery to pin 13 or did you make a voltage converter circuit? Thanks, Johan Hi Ricky,

I already found out about reichelt, but their minimum order is 150 euro for deliveries outside Germany and that is a lot of connectors :-) I'll try Ebay next, there's one seller from London (probably the same as yours). Thanks for your help, Johan @Ricky
