Please note that these like to see an input impedance of around 4Mohm or less. 1Mohm is ideal. Some preamps are rated anywhere from 10 to 20 times too high. Although we have had good luck with compatibility, we cannot guarantee how well they will work with every preamp on the market. Please research the specs of the preamp that you intend to connect this to before ordering. |

STANDARD SERIES PPS-200p RECOMMENDED USES NEW FROM JJB ELECTRONICS COMES THE PPS-200P ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT PICKUP FOR YOUR ON- BOARD PREAMP? ARE YOU PLANNING TO INSTALL A PREAMP AND DO NOT WANT TO MODIFY YOUR BRIDGE TO ACCOMODATE AND UNDER-SADDLE PICKUP? IF SO, THIS IS THE PERFECT SYSTEM FOR YOU. UNDER-SADDLE PICKUPS CANNOT COMPARE TO THE NATURAL SOUND REPRODUCTION THAT THESE OFFER! KEEP READING! These are built using very high quality 20mm piezo's. We can now offer to substitute these for 15mm piezo's upon request. Please email us after making your payment to specify that you would like 15mm transducers. This configuration is designed for guitars which do not provide enough space on the bridgeplate to allow for the bigger sized piezo's. Both systems have a very similar tone but the smaller system provides a little less output than the bigger sized system. In many cases this slight difference is negated by the higher resonance of a smaller bridgeplate. These can be used with or without a preamp with fantastic results. These are ideal if you desire a less defined bass and mid-range output. They are designed for more resonant guitars or ones with thinner soundboards. This system utilizes a dual piezo configuration for a crisp sound. The dual piezo configuration offers a few advantages over single piezo systems. Having two piezo’s affords you the opportunity to place them at two different points on the soundboard thus resulting in an improved dynamic range due to the fact that they transmit the resonation found at more than one point. These special surface transducers are under less pressure than under saddle pickups thus decreasing the likelihood of them transmitting a percussive or harsh sound. Each piezo is designed to pick up the resonation found in a significant amount of the soundboard. These do not "fade" or distort at high volume or with high-power systems. The highs are crystal clear while the lows are what they should be, low! They are very responsive. This particular system is fitted with a premium 2.5mm plug for easy connectivity to your existing on- board preamp. We have recently upgraded the build quality of this system, thus the reason for the slight price increase. Not to mention the ever-increasing costs associated with supplies and shipping, etc. It is the perfect replacement for your under-saddle pickup! This pickup configuration is offered in several high end guitars. All of our products feature quality components and construction. These will work great in a variety of instruments. Mandolins, ukulele’s, bass guitars, banjo’s, violins, dobro’s, dulcimers, stomp boxes, etc. The possibilities are endless! These, like all of our systems, can be installed in about 15 minutes! They are a very simple and inexpensive means of turning your acoustic instruments in to acoustic electric. Please don’t let the price fool you! PLEASE NOTE, WE CANNOT CONFIRM THAT THESE WILL WORK WITH WELL WITH EVERY PREAMP ON THE MARKET. THEY "SHOULD", BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO KNOW THE SPECIFICS OF EVERY PREAMP OUT THERE. THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE SEEN AS A DIY SOLUTION FOR UNDER-SADDLE PIEZO REPLACEMENT. |
