Chipayv Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 The only thing I've had trouble with on my new Variax is I can't get a good slap sound. Sometimes when I play electric, but a lot the times when I play acoustic I slap the strings. The magnetic pickups sound great, but I can't get the models to make a good slap sound. Anyone else had any luck with slap technique? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay-man Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Variax has piezo pickups, so it might be a contributing factor. Does it give any slap type sound at all or does it just seem weak compared to the magnetics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipayv Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 I can do it on acoustic guitars with peizo pickups just fine. So it's not the pick up. It just make a weird string noise, no slap. It sounds more like a note. It's probably the way the dps interprets the spike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
