Hi, my rare earth humbucker pickup has always worked fine but all of a sudden i get very quiet volume on both my maudio fast track ultra and my amp (orange cr35)...my amp has to be on overdrive to hear it at all and through the maudio the recorded playback is very low and distorted. I took it apart and put it back together and it worked fine again until now but that method didnt work for me this time...Any suggestions or ideas? greatly appreciated

Most likely problem is failing battery. Note that batteries have a habit of recovering when idle for a bit. Leaving guitar cable plugged in drains the battery as the presence of the cable is what turns on the preamp.
Thanks for the reply, I got the batteries only a few weeks ago so they should be good but it wont hurt to try. I'll give it a try and get back to you.Thanks for the reply, I got the batteries only a few weeks ago so they should be good but it wont hurt to try. I'll give it a try and get back to you.
