Owen Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 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?

itu Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
