I believe having the right input impedance is more important for low frequencies than it is for highs. Also a piezo output cannot survive a long cable run without a pre. The impedance correction is critical, otherwise you're amplifying a squirrely signal with a weird, unnatural EQ curve. Good piezos also often have a coating or a damping material between elements to fight noise issues and make them more resilient.Īs for preamps, you need something designed for piezos, which means a preamp with much higher input impedance than you get in a typical mic pre. Without good mounting, you tend to get physical noise and rumbling, or low output. Those radio shack piezo elements are not all that great, and mounting is a critical area to performance.
I can plug it into almost anything and get a good sound. being able to blend in a mic with the split piezo with phase reverse offers a lot of sounds. Now I have a baggs blender in the guitar. then to an AcoustaQ to shape it up a little and give me a lo z out. a bit zingy but it worked fine to craft a sound.
Piezo preamps simulator#
the boss acoustic simulator really made it sound pretty good. This may sound wierd but I had a seagull with piezo bridge PU only.
have you used it enough to know it sounds like what you want? Not familiar with Ghost.but, typically, Piezo's (even one for each shtring) need something to take the sting out of the top and the rubber out of the bottom.sounds like you need their pre. SHould I shell out the extra few hundred for their preamp? Or can you guys suggest something that you were happy with?biggest problem you have is starting with a piezo pickup So I ended up getting some random fishman preamp, which I am really not happy with, especially the bass frequencies. I didn't want to pay an extra few hundred dollars for their proprietary preamp for it, which also comes with extra features I don't need, such as a midi output. I am using a ghost pickup system, which has a piezo mic underneath every string of the guitar.
