PiezoZoid is a compact analog front-end for piezo instruments, combining proper impedance matching, analog tone shaping and stage-ready connectivity in a single portable device.
Designed specifically for bowed and acoustic instruments, it provides a natural, controlled and mix-ready signal for pedals, amplifiers, mixers and recording systems.
The DI version expands the concept with a balanced XLR output and integrated send/return loop, allowing PiezoZoid to function as a complete compact performance hub for piezo-based setups.
PiezoZoid is a compact analog front-end designed specifically for piezo pickups and contact microphones.
Unlike generic instrument preamps, PiezoZoid is optimized for the unique behavior of piezo systems used with bowed and acoustic instruments. The circuit provides proper impedance matching, natural frequency balance and flexible tone shaping in a compact standalone format.
Suitable for violin, viola, cello, double bass, acoustic guitar and other piezo-equipped instruments.
Piezo pickups behave very differently from magnetic pickups and require a much higher input impedance to operate correctly.
When connected directly to mixers, interfaces or standard instrument inputs, the sound often becomes thin, harsh and unstable in the low frequencies.
PiezoZoid provides a carefully tuned 10MΩ input stage that allows the pickup to reproduce its full dynamic range and harmonic detail while reducing typical piezo harshness and low-frequency problems.
The result is a more natural and controllable signal ready for pedals, amplifiers, mixers or recording systems.
PiezoZoid is designed as a universal solution for a wide range of bowed and acoustic instruments.
It works equally well with:
This makes PiezoZoid especially useful for musicians who work with multiple instruments or need a compact all-in-one piezo front-end for live and studio use.
The analog circuit is optimized to preserve the natural character of acoustic instruments while improving usability on stage and in recording situations.
A built-in 3-band EQ allows flexible tone correction and adaptation to different pickups, instruments and amplification systems.
Low-frequency buildup, excessive piezo sharpness and harsh upper mids are controlled without destroying articulation or bow response.
PiezoZoid is designed to function as a complete compact signal hub for piezo instruments.
The stable low-impedance output allows direct connection to:
In many live situations, PiezoZoid alone is enough to prepare the instrument signal for stage or studio use without additional external preamps.
The PiezoZoid DI version expands the concept into a fully self-contained performance tool.
Additional features include:
This allows PiezoZoid DI to function not only as a preamp, but also as the central control unit for an entire bowed-instrument setup.
