Distortion on active mode

I have a Cort B4 Plus AS LeftHanded, bought new about 6 weeks ago, and while practicing this morning suddenly all the strings were giving a heavy distortion while on active mode, when i switched to passive it was fine. Does the battery need changing?

That would be my guess, @leftyclawhands . . . :slight_smile:

Yes, it was the battery, and i also have received advice about leaving the cable plugged into the guitar when not in use, it is best to unplug it after use as it can take power from the battery, which is probably why my battery went flat so quickly

Thanks Joe, btw i have been advised by the company who sold me the instrument to leave the cable off when not in use which i am doing from now on.Even though i have switched to passive mode when the cable was still attached it still drained the battery. Thanks again. Steve
