Hey Everyone,
I have a 2-month old LP Ultra III. When a cable (standard 1/4 inch mono patch) is plugged into the output jack (mono), the blue LED on the tuner lights up, even if the other end of the cable is not plugged into an amp. I understand from the user's manual that this is normal, but I find it kind of annoying, since I always have to unplug the cable after playing or leave the LED light on. Two nights ago, I left the cable in the jack over night and when I played last night, none of the electronics seemed to work: no LEDs worked, the Nanomag/Probucker toggle didn't work, the tuner button didn't work. I'm assuming the battery is dead and I will try replacing it tonight, but could leaving the cable plugged in for one night drain the battery that much? Is so, I would always have to make sure to unplug the cable or constantly buy new batteries. Or is my battery dead simply from normal use, i.e. 1-2 hours a day for 2 months? What kind of mileage do you guys get from your batteries. I almost never use the USB.
I also had an issue a few weeks back with a nasty static noise coming through the amplifier when the Nanomag pickup was selected. Toggling to the Probuckers eliminated the static, but when toggleing back to Nanomag, the static returned. Sometimes unplugging and re-plugging in the mono patch cable will fix this, but sometimes it won't. If I wait a day or two and it usually goes away. It hasn't happened in the last few weeks, some maybe it taked care of itself. Has anyone experienced this before?
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
