DannyTaki Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I just put some new strings on my Transcale Synapse and was playing around with it for a while, and all was well. The piezo blend was working fine, and everything was dandy. After like 15 minutes of playing around, I realized that, as I blended more piezo in, the volume dropped; and when I blend the piezo 100% in, I get almost no sound out of the instrument. Perhaps it's just a placebo effect, but I also started to notice that the pickups started to seem much hotter than before. I am using a clean setting on my POD XT Live (which has a pad that I use for high-output pickups), with as low of a drive setting as I can get, and I'm getting almost a crunch tone with 100% magnetic pickup blend on the bridge pickup. This leads me to believe that it is not a battery issue. I have no clue what could have triggered this, I simply put on a new set of strings (10-46, down from 13-72 baritones). I also raised the action a bit, but that's it. Anyone have any clue what could be the problem? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Have you tried it straight in to the front end? This will at least eliminate some of the variables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyTaki Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Actually, speaking of curious phenomena... it's working fine now! I just gave it a day and now it's working perfectly! I wonder if maybe I just had a loose connection inside or something. Oh well. I appreciate the help anyways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
