EBMM JP6 non-BFR

[Wolf 6]

Do the current JP6's, as in with piezo, come with the crunchy liquid pick-up set or the "Custom" set? Also, is it possible to operate this guitar without a degree in rocket science?

[ShaneV]

Current production guitars indeed come with the new JP signature pickup set. If you have difficulty operating the JP, perhaps consider drums

[azazael]

A morse is the guitar for u i think...

Man I know what you mean. I'm still trying to find the 'on' switch on mine!

[Wolf 6]

No, the only thing I thought was confuzing was the piezo system. Mainly the output jacks.

[bkrumme]

You've got 2 output jacks. One is stereo or magnetic only. The other is mono or piezo only.

So here are the options you have for the outputs:

1. A stereo cable (TRS) into a splitter
2. A mono cable from each output
3. A mono cable from the piezo/mono output only
4. A mono cable from the stereo/mag output only

Option 1 is the most convenient (to me). This way you can send the magnetic signal to your electric amp and the piezo signal to an acoustic amp or DI box.

Option 2 is just as versatile as option 1, but has the added complexity of using 2 cables (yuck!) so isn't as convenient.

Option 3 can be as versatile as 1 and 2, but would require an A/B/Y box to split the signal to the appropriate sources, or you can run the piezo through your electric amp which would sound OK for cleans.

Option 4 is basically using the guitar without the piezo. You would only get the magnetic pickups and the piezo switch would act like a "kill" switch of sorts.

Good one! I concur!

Brad, what DI Box do you use?

-Eric

I use the DI in my Peterson Stroborack when I play live...used to be a Radial ProDI. In rehearsal I go straight into my Roland AC-90.

Strike that.

Cool! So for something like the Radial, your wah pedal and/or other pedals would go between the DI and guitar amp right?

No. The DI is used strictly for the piezo. Here's how my signal chain works:

Guitar plugs into tuner with a stereo cable. The stroborack tuner (with expander module) acts as a splitter. Output 1 goes to my volume, wah, od, then to my Mark V. Those effects are only in use for the magnetic guitar signal. Output 2 goes to my Roland AC-90 during rehearsal or to the built-in DI during a performance.

In this setup, output 1 is magnetic only and output 2 is piezo only. I guess you could use a wah on the piezo if you wanted to, but it would have to go between then splitter and the DI or acoustic amp.

My bad, I guess I should have specified that if I was to run a stereo cable to the radial box, then one output would go to wah and ultimately guitar amp. And the other output (which would be piezo) would go to PA, powered monitor, etc. That sound right?

Sorry Again, no. You would need a splitter of some kind *and* the DI box.

Your guitar would use a stereo cable to the splitter. Then one output from the splitter would go to the DI or acoustic amp. The other output of the splitter would go to your electric amp.

You could use the Ernie Ball splitter box which is an inexpensive, yet effective option. You could also use an Ernie Ball Stereo Volume/Pan pedal to do this. I use the splitter which is built into my tuner.

[bkrumme]

Here's a flowchart of my signal chain, for reference.

[ShaneV]

I never realized that the stroborack had the capacity to act as a splitter like that, very nice feature.
