Powering 2 preamps inside 1 guitar with 1 9v

[dustybottoms]

That's pretty much my question. I will have 2 completely separate systems inside 1 guitar but I'm hoping I can power it off if 1 battery if both jacks are engaged at the same time. I know they will work separately but what happens if I run both at once off the same battery? 1) nothing. It will work just fine. 2) it will work but drain the battery fast. 3) this is dangerous, don't do it. Thanks

Should work fine. You will have shorter battery life on the order of the two system's battery life added together and divided by 4 (or the average divided by 2).

Thank you!

This is done now btw. I'll report back after a few uses and see how the battery is holding up.
