in fact, i didn't think about checking the guitar, nor did i understand
that the preamp already comes with an XLR out - somehow i assumed you
were using a jack-to-XLR adapter. this page

states quite clearly that the XLR is balanced, so it should work just
fine with phantom-powered inputs. just be careful when unplugging
phantom-powered lines - they will make your speakers jump at you when
not muted :)
