Electronics:
This system combines our own unique Piezo based pickup with
an EPAV preamp. Because the pickup has such a high output
level we have taken a minimum electronics, class A approach,
using fets instead of integrated circuits with no voltage gain. On
board control is by a concentric pot with Volume and Tone
conveniently located, to the player’s left of the neck, allowing
easy adjustment while playing.

Controls:
Volume (inner knob): The centre position is the nominal playing
level, turning to full will give an increase of approximately 6dB.
Tone (outer knob): From the centre position
- turning clockwise is a treble boost
- turning anti clockwise is a treble cut/bass boost
Power: 9V battery - located on the end of the instrument (to the
right of the end pin) allowing ready access
Output Jack: Located on the side of the lower left bout
Output/sensitivity: 50k ohms
