I think I posted this in a differend topic.. sorry.. still haven't been on the site much
I'd Like to:
wire 2 piezos to 1 potentiometer and an input jack without a 3 way switch.. None of the diagrams show this configuration.
Could anybody point me in the right direction ?
sincerely,
Kirby

http://www.cigarboxnation.com/group/cbgwiringelectronics The first diagram shows one piezo, just add a second and wire them in parallel.
Yes
sorry for hijacking this thread but what benefit having 2 piezos?
Place in different areas for a mixed sound .
I'll try that.thanks
the question has been answered accurately but in my case. I'm a banjo player and I've decided to make my own pickup. I've tried one piezo but It doesn't pickup all of the frequencies. So companies like K&K make these with two piezos to place on either end of the banjo bridge. since it does me no good to toggle between the two in this case. I have no need tor the toggle switch.
the same would hold true for a guitar. I think since most CBG's only have 3 or 4 strings.. it's less of an issue but placing them on either end of a wooden bridge could make a big difference
Many thanks to Blues Frog for the lovely diagram.
A crude drawing at best, but sometimes any visual is better than none.
Some people use the switch and place one piezo under the bridge and one somewhere on the soundboard to get different sounds.
I tried doing two under each side of the bridge on a guitar, but wasn't very happy with it. It's better to move them around to find the right spot/spots before the final placement. My CBG has one piezo on the bass side of the strings right in the middle between the bridge and neck. Started with a 500k volume pot, but changed to a 1meg for a better sound. Not shrill.
Thanks Truck driving fool. I will try this next
I'll add that I've been using B100k pots for this.
