Re: electric sitars

I'll try to draw how it is hooked up. I built a small box which 
merges the power and audio onto the same cable:


                  Homemade                        Sitar body
                  Splitter Box             +---------------------+
+--------+       +-------------+           |                     |
| 9V AC  +------>|-------->Ring+<--------->|Tip<-Audio out       |
|Adapter |   1/8"|       +-Tip |  1/4"     |Ring->9V for delay   |
+--+-+---+       |       |     |  Stereo   |                     |     
   | |           |       |     |  Cable    +---------------------+
                 |       |     |
 Audio out <-----|-------+     |
 to amp     1/4" |             |
            Mono +-------------+

Hope that makes sense.
