Daniel Sorbera Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) I have a takamine EG560CBS acoustic with there TK4NT electronics but I also have some KK transducers that stick onto the bridge plate. These sound much better than the saddle transducer that is on the guitar now. But the KK ones I have don't have a preamp. I was thinking of pluging them into the TK4NT preamp that is already on the guitar so I still have my EQ and tuner and such. Does this seam like it could be something doable? Or will I just fry my preamp? How would I figure out if they are compatable? Or are they compatable just because they are both peizo pickups? I think it would be a great thing to do to make the pluged in sound of my acoustic better but I just got this funny "if it aint broke, don't fix it" feeling...

Daniel Sorbera Posted October 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Okay so I did it. It works great! It sound MUCH better than before. Now my guitar sounds as good plugged in as my brothers $1200 takamine. He will be getting one of these also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ansil Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 i have been doing a lot of acoustic work lately. and one thing that has helped me out greatly. and go ahead and get ready to laugh. but i just installed a speaker in my acoustic. it has a phase switch [normally out of phase.] i run a signal from the piezo to the preamp to a secondary amp[housed on one of my stock boards for the overdrives i build] and i get a really nice acoustic sound. i have to completely re do the eq from what i was used to, but now it has an ethereal type sound and dramaticaly cut down on my feedback. although i havent' thought about why till now. anyway. my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
