My Persuaders usually needs changing batteries after around 3 months or so.But With Fatboys installed, bateries needs changing after about 100hours or so. IS this normal? Any of you guys experience the same thing? Thanks Robert adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 1951 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 - 7:32 am:    There's an extra contact on the jack socket that switches the battery on/off - you insert the jack and the switch goes on, you pull it out and the switch goes off. Perhaps when installing the Fatboys, you somehow bent the extra contact, so it's always on? roberto Member Username: roberto Post Number: 67 Registered: 3-2006 Posted on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 - 9:10 am:    Ill check it out robert mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5586 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 - 5:13 pm:    Check the IC on the preamp board and tell me what is printed on it. 3 months is pretty short, so I'm thinking that you do not have the low-drain chip.
