If you have an amp with two inputs, you can plug both in!!

Yes but I only have one !
It Would be possible to use an A/B box as well..
It's not usable to let it plugged all the time since it amplifies every little sound of the guitar... It needs carefullness (does this word exists ??) to use it but you can achieve really cool sounds:  for exemple, gently hitting the strings behing the nut with a drum stick give sounds close to John Cage's prepared piano pieces.. :-*

Frank Zappa had a heavily modified giutar with contact pickups
in the neck.

It sounded like a combination of giutar and bedsprings...

Pretty cool - for the novelty stuff.
