Re: Fly Nuts through the years

Re: Troubleshooting the Piezo on a '99 MidiFly

So an update, I put it back together and strung up the guitar for testing. The Piezo works as expected. But the Mags are really low and distant sounding with an incredible amount of hiss and noise. I'm not sure if it's the battery (I'll replace that and try again) but there's something funky going o...

Re: Troubleshooting the Piezo on a '99 MidiFly

So here's my guess, is that the Piezo summing board, also allows each string to go out individually to the MidiAxe board so the two grey wires that come out are the shield and the summed Piezo hot. The others go directly to the MidiAxe as individual signals for processing. On my examination of the j...

Troubleshooting the Piezo on a '99 MidiFly

Hi, I searched through the forum (for a couple hours) and wasn't really able to find the information I was looking for.
