Piezo Mic Pickup
Running an electric guitar pickup through a PA system?
I have an older Taylor 310 with the Fishman Prefix Plus system. I don't like the Piezo, but don't want to modify the guitar, or change the factory electonics in there currently. I play a regular weekly gig with the guitar plugged into a modulated effects chain, then into a house PA system.
I'd like to install Magnetic electric guitar pickup in the sound hole, and blend the signal with the piezo output. Can't find a definitive answer googling on how to accomplish this.
I dont think I can feed the pickup straight into the piezo preamp (the Fishman) as the impedances differ, so I'm thinking of blending the preamped piezo signal with the dry pickup output with a passive blend control. Unfortunaly, the Fishamn doesn't have an Aux In to attach an internal mic/pickup. Is a passive pickup hot enough to go straight into a PA without a preamp? If not, can a pedal such as a chorus work as a preamp? Is there a better homebrew solution I'm not thinking of?
The magnetic pickup gas more than enough power to feed directly into the amp or a channel of the PA. Using a soundhole pickup like a PRO MAG with the piezo pickup will give you a great blend of warmth from the magnetic pickup and crispness from the piezo. I suggest simply running each into a separate channel on the PA or into an acoustic amp with the ability to blend two distinct inputs simultaneously (most better acoustic amps will allow you to do this). Experiment with channel volume and E.Q. settings until you achieve the desired blend of the two signals.
I have effectively used this method on several occasions to achieve great results.
