![]() It's not ideal but if you already have a graphic EQ this might do the trick for you. I've made do with a Boss GE7 before I got the Ashdown but because it is a little lower in impedance, there was some bass rolloff that needed compensation by tweaking the EQ bands. I can also run the CTRLX through it with no ill effect though. I have an Ashdown acoustic preamp pedal for when I play the guitar that doesn't have the CTRLX. ![]() If your tuner has a high enough input impedance, a buffered output (NOT true bypass) and a mute function, this might work for both buffering and also for silencing the piezo when you only want the magnetic signal. It could be built into the splitter itself. If you're wiring the piezo straight to the jack with no active buffer (such as the Baggs CTRLX or Fishman Power Chip) built into the guitar, you will want to have the piezo channel plugged into a pedal with high input impedance, like 1 megohm or higher. As a side note, be careful of this extra active part inside the guitar. ![]() ![]() The ‘working/active’ part of the pickup can be made longer and, once the slot is full, the unused portion just pokes though the hole in the bottom of the saddle. In pan mode you can fade between the magnetic and piezo channels. The Aura Acoustic Imaging Blender, from US-based acoustic-guitar pickup specialists, Fishman Transducers, uses AST (Acoustic Spectral Transform) technology developed (but never marketed) by Akai, to take a known frequency response, say that of an under-saddle piezo transducer on a particular guitar, and transform it in real time into that of a s. Because it’s more flexible, it’s not tied to a particular length of saddle or slot. I like to use a stereo volume pedal that can switch between volume and pan. ![]()
