With piezo systems it works exponentially: twice as hard means four times as loud. Twice as soft means four times as weak! That dynamic range would make many players go crazy! I know I would! That’s why the preamps often have a compressor to soften the high and boost the low peaks of the voltage created by the piezo.) I was reading a article on seymour duncan website I thought it was rather interesting to share part of it.. Do to some people having trouble with the modeling side of the JTVs. I had thought of trying different types of strings on my JTV and since I mainly use modeling, ( I thought of trying brass accoustic string see how they sound ) it would not requier magnetic friendly strings ,do to the Piezo pickups... Has anyone else tried this.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
