For some of you, sorry this really is a Uke question!

Got my first electric/acustic Uke today. It has a UK 2000 pickup/equlizer with 3 sliders for volume, bass and trebile. No on/off switch. I assume it does not draw current from the 9 volt battery unless the pizeo electric sensor under the saddle gets enough vibration to generate some minimum voltage to activate the pre-amp.

Am I even close? If it is plugged into an amp with some loud noise around will it draw current from the 9 volt battery?
 
My guess is that it won't draw current unless you have a cable plugged in (at least that's how it works with most guitar pedals).
