Undersaddle piezo strips

Are these all much of a muchness before they see a preamp or are some better than others? Given my extraordinarily limited understanding of the tech, a strip of piezo electric crystals is a strip of piezo electric crystals, no?

Yes, plain X-tals. But the size matters, as the sweet spot of the frequency peaks vary. It is reasonable to try few different sizes if possible. I would also suggest a very high input impedance buffer close to the X-tal. It changes the sound from being picky and icky to full and round. FET-based preamps are very good to do the job. Some effects may have so good input buffers, that they solve the issue (like tce SCF).
