If you get a distorted sound out any guitar with active circuitry then the first thing to check is always the battery. As the battery dies the voltage drops and it can't supply enough power to power up the active circuit correctly - which results in a messy, distorted tone.

The general advice for active circuitry is to always use a high quality Alkaline battery. Don't use a rechargeable battery.

IMPORTANT NOTE : with an active guitar inserting a jack lead into the guitar switches on the active circuitry, even if you are not playing the guitar. To prolong battery life always UNLPUG the guitar when not in use.
