Barrel Jack - which prong is the ground?
Newbie question, I know.. Usually one of the connections is tagged to the sleeve.
Which of these prongs is the ground?   |

Usually it's the long one... but I've never worked with a barrel jack that wasn't stereo.
Too much focus leads to tunnel vision
Too much faith leads to religion Too much knowledge leads to confusion Too many guitar lessons lead to jazz-fusion |

Plug in a cable and use a multimeter to double-check which goes to the tip and which toes to the sleeve.
 Or just trust Adam.  |

Most likely the longer, but replace it with a Switchcraft one just because.

Of course, now I don't know which fucking prong is the ground on that one, but I'll just make a new thread tomorrow.
Time for a beer. |
