Electronics

This system combines our unique Piezo-based pickup with an EPAV preamp. Because the pickup has such a high output level Epoch has taken a minimum electronics, class A approach, using fets instead of integrated circuits with no voltage gain. On board control is by a concentric pot with volume and tone conveniently located to the player’s left of the neck, allowing easy adjustment while playing.

Controls
Volume (inner knob): The centre position is the nominal playing level, turning to full will give an increase of approx 6dB.
Tone (outer knob): From the centre position – turning clockwise is a treble boost
– turning anti clockwise is a treble cut/bass boost
Power: 9V battery – located on the end of the instrument (to the right of the end pin) allowing ready access
Output jack: located on the side of the lower left bout.
Output/sensitivity: 50k ohms
