The combination of piezoelectric pickup, microphone and preamp achieves. Controls on the EQ, phase can make a dramatic difference to the sound your guitar will make when connected to an amp, adjusting lows, mids, highs and phase signals to eliminate feedback. Pickups, preamps and microphones for classical guitar, flamenco guitar and. The 6.35mm output on a guitar will be connected to the preamp internally, insert your guitar cable into the jack output and this is taken off to the amplifier or PA.

#PIEZO PREAMPS SERIES#
For acoustic guitar players, the part of the guitar amp with EQ is where the action happens, sometimes a tuner and gain controls will be located where the preamp will be. This is a simulation of the preamp being fed by a typical piezo element which is represented by a voltage source in series with a 5nF capacitor, this is typical of a 15mm piezo disc. This is unlike electric guitar pickups that are magnetic and detects a vibration from the electromagnetic field. The signal is then transferred to the Preamp. To work, the preamp/eq system will utilise some form of pick up, acoustic guitars use a piezo pickup, (pronounced “pee-YAY-zoh”) it sits under the bridge and will work by picking up vibration from the strings. It is used to pick up sound waves traveling through solid objects. Perfect for converting an old acoustic and turning it into an acoustic-electric guitar. Marshmallow is a piezo disc contact microphone with a nice high-impedance preamplifier. The guitar preamp kits make the signal strong enough for additional processing using equalisation and effects or for sending the audio to a power amp.

JOYO UK has a range of quality acoustic / classical guitar and ukulele preamp pickup kits that will convert the acoustic signal and amplify it.
