For the past few weeks I've been youtube'n stomp boxes. I've seen them acoustic, with piezos and with speakers. I understand the basics with the piezo but not so much with the speaker.
I am entirely new to wiring in general. I have high hopes to rig up a CBG with a piezo and to build an amp someday. My question regarding the speaker stompbox is the wiring. Is it the same as if I was wiring it as an amp? If it is I don't understand how it would be the same. Since wiring as an amp the sound would go through it out. But for a stomp box it would microphone it in then out. Does this make sense or am I overthinking it entirely wrong? Like I said, I have no idea and have never done anything like this before.
Thanks

i  believe   what  you are  describing  , and  what may  be causing the confusion   is   .. in some   stomp  boxes  ..   a  speaker  is  used as a  piezo  ..  ie:  a  mic .  no   sound  comes  out of  it  at that  end  . 

you  are   using  it  exactly  as   a  piezo . because   it   will    work  like  one , and  is  bigger /deeper . 

so  your wiring  is  just  like  the piezo  . just  solder the 2  leads to a jack  . 

then   plug   it  in  to an  amp   with a cord   just  like  you  would a  guitar   /  bass  .

Thanks Pick,
That's what I thought but didn't think it was that easy.

glad  to  help  ;-)
