DOndek Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Hi all. I recently purchased a PRS Hollowbody II Piezo SE and am trying to work on the signal path for the piezo (this will be separate and distinct from the mag pup signal, not blended). For years, I've had a Warmoth that has a Fishman PowerBridge and Power Chip installed for the piezo signal and it's worked great with the patch I built, but the Baggs piezo in the HBII is a very different animal in sound, output levels, etc. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated! Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG9645 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I've got the same guitar and working on patches for it too. I have a patch set up with the mag pickups going into the guitar in jack, and the piezo going into the auxiliary jack. so I can switch quickly between the two. Basically each input is its own chain to the output. For the piezo side I added York Audio acoustic guitar IR but I'm still working on deciding the hi/lo cuts and effects for that side. It also has to be boosted in volume quite a bit to even out with the mag pickup side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miekmac75 Posted February 23, 2024 Share Posted February 23, 2024 I'm looking at the same over here. Could you put a preamp, like an AD-2 with the line out jack, between the piezo and aux in to balance the signals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbr13697 Posted February 25, 2024 Share Posted February 25, 2024 I also route the pickups through separate paths. However, I have never seen the need for amps, IRs, or cabs for acoustic. I just have a volume/gain block to compensate for volume, though my PRS doesn't need much. I do have an EQ block in the chain but I never seem to need it. Then add some reverb and the occasional effect, and send it directly to FRFR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
