Buddylove5 Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hey I'm new and I'm looking for some help I'd like to put a piezo pickup on my guitar I'm making and I'm not sure if I'd need a volume control or not. If i do, how would I wire it to the pickup, volume, and to the Jack. Thanks. Also, I made a mistake and posted in the wrong section( electonics tutorials) a bit earlier and i'm not sure how to move it. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddylove5 Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Also, I made a mistake and posted in the wrong section( electonics tutorials) a bit earlier and i'm not sure how to move it. Sorry. No sweat. It´s been taken care of. thanks! And also I'm curious to what value of volume pot to use. I want to be able to plug in headphones and hear thru rhe headphones. I've tried a piezo without a volume and I couldn't hear it at all so this is my first attempt to fix the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Workingman Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Like it was said do a search it will pay off with more than I can add. That said a couple of quick things. Most piezo setups are going to require a pre-amp for the piezo. If you install the pre-amp in the guitar you will have to power it with the attendent wiring. If you are going to use an external pre-amp you will have to use a stereo jack so the normal pup goes direct and the piezo goes to the pre-amp. It is a fair bit more work than just stuffing a piezo in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
