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 approx 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
