I just got a SR270 (I have a 69p and love it). The SR270 modeling is working great (with battery). However, I can't get the magnetic pickup to work (without the battery in) using the 1/4". When I plug it in, it's incredibly faint (like have to turn the input gain on my interface to max--and still puny). No crackling with turning the pots or plugging/unplugging cable. Thoughts?
