Power a sustainer from pedalboard?

[ianmgull]

So I'm thinking about putting a Fernandes sustainer in my guitar. It's a hollow body so the logistics are already going to be a serious pain. One thing I'm not to keen on though is sucking up 9v battery's real quick. So I was wondering...

Is it possible to use a stereo (TRS) cable and just run the 9v supply from my pedalboard? It seems like it would be pretty easy. I only wonder if it hasn't already been done because of noise problems.

Any idea's?

Check out the Tillman cable preamp.
It does just that.

Hey dave thanks. I'm not looking for a preamp so much, just a way to get 9v from my pedalboard to my guitar. In my case I'd like to use it to power a sustainer, but I guess it could be used to power anything that's inside a guitar.

So on a mono cable, the signal runs through the tip, and ground through the sleeve. So If I had a nine volt supply on my board for instance, could I hook the + up to the ring and the - up to the sleeve on that end? Then use a stereo jack in my guitar and get my 9v supply from that? Seems like a much easier way than sucking down 9v batteries.
