WHY TWO PICKUP SYSTEM

Most people think about the under saddle piezo pickup when purchasing acoustic electric guitar. But single piezo pickup alone cannot capture all the tone and amplify the natural acoustic sound truly. This is why many professional players prefer the sound hole pickup.

Although the sound hole pickup has some advantages over the piezo, it cannot produce the acoustic sound that piezo can replicate.

Knob 1 : pickup blend knob

Turned counterclockwise all the way would bring her internal mic level to 0 and the piezo pickup at constant maximum of level 10. When turned clockwise the mic level gain goes up, the piezo will be same at constant level 10. When turned all the way clockwise the mic level will be 10 and piezo pickup at constant level 10. Piezo pickup and mic pickup level will be as follows as the knob is turned clockwise. 10:0 10:1 10:2….. 10:8 10:9 10:10
 
Knob 2 : Volume knob

The volume level controls the output of the mic and piezo pickup source together.
 
Knob 3 : EQ Searcher

The only pickup functions that you can get from Zebra 7. When the knob us turned clockwise treble and mid level rises and bass level reduces.
