CONNECTING AND USING EFFECTS PEDALS
Using Effect Pedals With The Acoustic Piezo Channel
Another cool feature built into the PZ-DI is the effects loop. This
is dedicated to the piezo acoustic channel as a means of adding
effects to the acoustic signal path. This way, your acoustic pickup
can have effects like reverb or a more radical EQ routed to both
your on-stage amp and to the PA and monitor systems. The PZ-DI
uses an "insert" type TRS ¼” jack for the effects loop where the
send and return are are combined into one jack.
Effect pedals connected to the acoustic piezo effects loop are
routed to the acoustic amplifi er output and the DI output.
Using Effect Pedals With The Electric Magnetic Channel
For the electric-magnetic pickup signal path, pedals would simply
be connected from the ¼” electric output before going to the stage
amp. The PZ-DI will act as a buffer for the pedals which will quiet
them down and allow longer cable runs to 50 feet (15 meters)
without appreciable noise.
The electric-magnetic channel features a high-quality buffered output
that can drive long cables and true-bypass pedals. To introduce effects
on the electric-magnetic channel pedals are placed after the PZ-DI .
