Sonic Tonic EQ/Enhancer with Piezo

[Ralf]

Hello everyone

I’m new here and am currently building a guitar with a Telecaster bridge pickup and a piezo under the saddle.

My question is whether I can connect the piezo DIRECTLY to the input of the Sonic Tonic EQ/Enhancer kit. I don’t know much about impedance, etc.

I would then route the output signal to a NOLL mixpot. This allows me to switch between the two pickups.

Thank you for your answers

I am not 100% sure what you are trying to do.

I would personally build out the Sonic Tonic as a pedal and then insert it into the channel of the mixer or go straight to the pedal from the guitar and output to amplifier. The effect will be good for both of the final mixed signals.

Here is the Schematic of what i want to do. It is a selfmade Guitar from a HB Telecaster DIY-Kit like a Fender Acustasonic

Ralf,

I would say the first version might work. I have the equivalent of Barry’s Tone TwEQ circuit installed in my semi-hollow guitar as a pre-amp for the piezo, although I’m using 2 jacks and a modified Paramix board to mix the signals on the floor. Note, my piezo pickup just doesn’t play well with some effects, so try it before you modify the guitar. Mojo is hard to predict.

Awesome project, good luck,

[Barry]

Thanks brd. Not in my wheelhouse.
