escholl Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Not exactly sure, but am pretty sure it goes: Tip - White Ring - Black Sleeve - Ground The white will be the signal, and the black will be the power ground....so when a mono jack is inserted, the power ground is connected to ground by the sleeve of the jack plug, effectively completing the circuit and turning the preamp on. A switchcraft (or any other quality stereo jack) will do the job just fine. Again, not sure on the colors as i don't have a warwick so someone please correct me if i'm wrong, however that will certainly be the most logical and conventional method of connecting it.
