help me! very drastic difference from one output to another in my JP7 BFR

[mrhankey87]

Basically, my magnetic output, which theorically should be the one that sounds good with magnetic pickups, is way more dull than the piezo out.

When I use the piezo out with magnetic pickups I obtain a full tone with more lows and highs, more tightness and way more output and clarity than the other one....how can I fix it and balance them? Is it a common problem?

Thank you

Francesco

really hard to tell ...On my axis Piezo I always use 2 cables on for the mag one for the piezo and never experienced that problem

Try to contact CS to get some explanation

You could play with the piezo controls on the back. I think there' s a volume, or maybe an output control, so you could try reducing that, if you haven't already done so.

Shouldn't the controls act ONLY on the piezo pickup, not the magnetic?

i´m using the stereo out jack (with a stereo cable) only, because it sounds better to me.
if i´m only using the mag. PUPs, i also use the stereo out jack but with an mono cable.
few weeks ago, i plugged the cable into the mono-out jack and i was wondering, why my sound was less dynamic as before....switched back to the stereo-out jack and there was my normal sound again.
but you said you like the mono-out more...that´s funny.

btw. JP uses the stereo out jack, even when he is doing clinics where he normally not uses the piezo and run a mono-cable to the amp only.

i think, that with the mono-jack, the mag-signal runs through the active system as well to match the mag and piezo signal level and due to this, it looses some of the normal sound.
