Question: How do you plug your piezo

[ily]

i'm vey interesting by

i plug mine of my luke with an Y cable

one to my egnater head to electric sounds
one to a Roland AC 90

do you use some boxes ?
wireless system
all on one electric head or combo

i use a stereo cable to my floorboard, there i split the signals and the piezo runs through a EB volumepedal to a yamaha FX550 multiFX for some reverb and light compression, from there to a palmer passive DI box and at least to the PA system.

I use 2 separate cables. My jp's piezo striaght to a DI into the house & the magnetic goes into my rig.

Stereo cable to my Stroborack with the Expander, then a short cable from the second output to the DI in the expander.

I use 2 cables as well and use the switch on the guitar for the mix of mag and Piezo. I even switch from piezo to mag during the same song.

the Piezo goes to a chorus Rocktron deep blue then to DI then to PA. Reverb is coming from PA system.

[GodWentPunk]

I run a single cable and just use the switch when I want to go back and forth.

I run a single TRS cable from the guitar to an EB Splitter box on my pedalboard.
The magnetic output of the splitter goes to my EB Wah then into the amp (the rest of my pedals are in the effects loop).
The piezo output of the splitter goes into a DI box also on the pedalboard, then into the PA system with some reverb added at the console.

[Spudmurphy]

I use a stereo cable out into my EB 6165 stereo/volume pan pedal.
This splits the stereo signal so that the mags go to my tube amp and my piezo goes to my AER acoustic amp.

The pedal can act in 2 ways:-
Swelling the volume of the mags/piezo in tandem, or
switching between the AER and Tube amp. It offers a bit more flexibility over just using the selector switch on my JP 6 or the piezo volume switch on my AL which doesn't have a selector switch like the JP.

2 seperate cables, the Piezo goes to an Trace Elliot Acoustic Amp and then run some effects through the fx loop

[NorM]

I use 2 separate cables. My jp's piezo striaght to a DI into the house & the magnetic goes into my rig.

Me too. Since I do solo gigs (no one wants to play with me) the house ends up being my mixer. Just a slight chorus echo on the piezo from the effects on my mixer.

i run a TRS cable from the guitar into a EBMM splitter on my 'board. the mag signal runs through my tuner and wah then through the front end of my MKIV. The piezo runs through an L R Baggs Para DI then split to my AER (for stage monitoring) and the other through FOH.

[Jerry Jim]

Do you guys use a passive or active DI?


BTW: How do you switch between your piezo and magnetic signals?

[mr.b]

at the moment just with the 3-way toggle on the guitar. however i plan on modding an EBMM stereo volume pedal to create a blend pedal; similar to the fishman powerblend.

I use a passive DI.. switch between piezo and mags using the toggle on the Petrucci, and the piezo volume pot on the Petrucci to fine tune the blend.

[e.mate]

two seperate outs: magnetic goes into shure wireless system (output to the rack units), piezo is wired to Rocktron Chameleon. Both systems are also linked in stereo to four channel active DI.....pretty much over the top, as my bass player always says
