CAPZ LOCK, NAOW WITH DISTORTION?

[Ninjahat]

Are piezos ballsy enough with distortion to abandon pickups alltogether, and just have piezos?

 

[Bigfan]

Nope.

 

[Ninjahat]

Huh, I heard somewhere they where actually pretty thick and beefy with distortion!

 

[Bigfan]

Have you ever tried piezos with distortion? They sound really different to magnetic pickups, you know.

 

[Ninjahat]

Yeah, I am awhere of the difference in tone, but no, I have never heard them with distortion man!

If it sounds anything like using an piezo-equipped acoustic guitar into a distorted amp, I say its still a good idea to keep your magnetic pickups.


I know... I tried this with my friend's acoustic...

The first and only time I tried adding distortion to a guitar while the piezo was active, all I got was a bunch of loud noise and disgusting feedback.

 

[Necris]

Piezo equipped acoustic with distortion.

ive played the petrucci bfr models with piezo, of course i was curious and put it throught the dirstortion channel. sounds like shit. the guy at the shop said he liked it for certain leads tho.

Piezo with distortion sounds horrible. Like farting into a paper bag
