I am not aware of an electric guitar amplifier that would supply phantom power. A reasonably competent electrician could modify one if you insist but I'd rather use a separate supply, as described (in case you'd want to use other amps, effects before the amp etc.). 2. The switching would be on the power supply, not the guitar. Again, it's a simple circuit so a professional could easily help you with your particular setup. 3. I've recently posted an image and description of my pedalboard, which includes my phantom power supply. But other than that there's not much to look at besides TRS jacks and a stereo cable. The diagram above is more revealing. Cheers and thanks for stopping by! Hi Mike, here’s the deal as far as I can tell:

I have been talking about this for a while now, seems to make so much sense. But I'm a total idiot when it comes to electronics, so please indulge me in a couple of questions. 1, Is there some way of drawing power from the amp, rather than having to plug your guitar in to a wall socket or whatever. I know that a lot of guitars now come with XLR connectivity, so is that a possibility? 2. I am a bit unfamiliar with a lot of the terminology you are using so can I just see if I understand this correctly... You basically need a switch on your guitar that will connect or disconnect the circuit to prevent sort circuits when you are connecting to the power? 3. Do you have an pictures of your set up so I can see what you mean? Ok, I think that's it. Great post. Mike Hey man, this is awesome!
