I must be missing something. Why you are disassembling the plug and hardwiring a cable to it? Can't you just plug it into the audio unit and plug your guitar cable into that? Or use it as it was intended, plugged into the guitar and thence plugged into the amp or audio unit?

This item seems to be only available from  electronic parts outlets w/min. orders of $30-50, so it's not cheap enough for me to experiment with. I also don't understand why you want to install a hard-wired cable on it. Can't you just plug a cable in?
