Composed of 3 cells:
- A braided piezo under the bridge saddle, for a clean, precise sound without being cold and dry,
- combined with two cells under the soundboard that are used to refine and enrich the piezo, to restore the air and woody sound of the body.
Presentation
Simple and effective: one volume, one tone and one blend... Ultra-high-performance, for all the woody colours of the body and an extremely natural sound.
A drill or screwdriver, a 12mm drill bit, a 2.5mm drill bit, a 10mm open-end spanner, a piece of wire (used rope or similar), F-gasoline, absorbent paper.
1: Remove the strap fastener (if necessary)
2: Drill the splice, taking the strap mount hole as a base, using a 12 mm wood drill bit
3: Check that the hole has the correct diameter by passing the preamp jack through from the outside
4: Set the depth that will define the remaining length on the outside using the dedicated nut
5: Using a wire or similar, bring the preamp into position
6: Fit the washer and then the nut
7: Then tighten reasonably firmly, keeping the preamp straight in the guitar
8: Remove the saddle, then drill a hole 2.5mm in diameter at both ends of the saddle housing at an angle of about 45° coming out. We recommend removing a thickness of about 1.75mm from the saddle to retain your original action
9: Insert the piezzo carefully, making sure that it is not pinched in the holes. Bend the end (treble side) slightly to ensure a good fit in the dedicated hole
10: After cleaning the bonding surfaces of the under-table cells with paper soaked in F-gasoline, remove the protective films and then bond the cells in the required places. Apply firm pressure to the cell and the soundboard on the outer side simultaneously to ensure a good bond.
11: Gluing the preamp controls. Clean the bonding surfaces with petrol F, then remove the protective films before bonding. Apply firm pressure to the controls while holding the table outwards
12: Gluing the battery compartment. Insert the battery into its compartment, connect the battery to the dedicated cable, clean the bonding surface with F petrol and remove the protective film before bonding. Apply firm pressure to the battery
13: Before fitting the cable glands, check their position from the outside. Clean the bonding surface with petrol F, then remove the protective film and bond
14: Press the cables into the cable glands, tightening them on themselves
15: Check that the cells are working properly by lightly tapping the soundboard (on table cells) and the saddle, then tune and play!
It's easy to use, with three sensors, one under the bridge saddle and two under the soundboard, for a great body effect. Thanks to the Prodipe AP22 system developed by Ludovic Lanen, you can achieve all the types of sound that an acoustic guitarist can expect, and all very easily.
