Assuming the prior owner left it in factory condition, plugged into the regular jack, you should hear Piezo only if you turned both mags down to zero and the Piezo up (and best all the way up). I love the guitar and I want to make sure I am getting full use out of this beautiful model that has everthing I need but unfortunatey, I don't have the technical wherwithall to ensure I use it properly. Thank you all in advance if you do take the time to reply. If I wantd to use the two outputs in stereo, can somone offer me assistance as to how I would wire the guiar into my pedal board using two jacks? What cables would I need, extra stomp boxes (amp switcher?) etc.Īny video links that you might know of would be of great assistance. how do I get the most out of the peizo on it's own and how do I blend? What does the push pull piezo knob do?Ģ. I'm sorry if my questions come across as conveluted.ġ. I really hope someone understands what I'm trying to ask. I've certainly never used a guitar with a built in piezo. I understand stereo out can be utilized by using both output jacks at which point I would need another amp (which isn't an issue because I've got a few amps lying around) but being a strat guy all my life I've never used a two output guitar nor have I ever run a stero configuration. Secondly, is ther a benefit to using both jacks and if so, I currently use a Line 6 G50 wireless set up. How then can I get the piezo in it's own using the one output jack? Do I turn the regular volume kobs down and turn up the Piezo? What does the popping up of the piezo do and why can't I seem to get a nice crisp sound coming out of the guitar when wanting to utlize the piezo? In essence, what is the best way to get the cleanest and as close to acoustic sounding tone out of the guitar using the regular output jack? Is this a manufacturing defect? If anyone can assist I'd appreciate it. I noticed the 9 volt battery wire disconnected from the connector (I started a thread on this in repair section) but even when I manually held the wire on the leads, I can't get the piezo to function. I can't get the piezo pickup to function on its own. If I run one mono jack out of the normal output and into my rig, Am I correct that I will have access to the regular pickups (either paralel or split) by using the pop of knobs?Īlso, if using the "normal" output jack, if I turn the magnetic pickup volume knobs to zero and turn up the peizo knob, should I not be hearing the piezo pickup because I am not. I need assistance with understanding the piezo aspect of this guitar. She let me take care of the logistics of shipping it back to Toronto etc. Being a huge Rush fan, my wife, while in New York, spotted a very slightly used (in fact it looks new to me) AL 530 and picked it up for my birthday. The Les Paul is my primary axe for my needs. I have been a strat and PRS player most of my life but a couple of years ago picked up a Les Paul and quite frankly I never went back. (FIRST POST!) I am a proud new owner of an AL530 in Crimson Red. First a little background in that I am quite new to these boards.
