Hi Ben and all, i have two rod piezo pickups, they sound fantastic but i have a problem with feedback even 10 feet away from the amp, is there a gizmo i can use to stop this? many thanks in anticipation for your comments! (-:

Rod piezos are REALLY touchy. They need to be very snugly buried beneath the bridge, fitted into the saddle, with NO parts exposed to air (sound vibrations). That's all I know for sure.
i understand they need pressure to perform correctly, though i heard of a gizmo that reduced feedback, it's to do with magnetic fields which somehow cause interference, will investigate further!
