Hey all.

I may have a bit of a problem with a quacky transducer.

Would a better amplifier help reduce the quack? Or maybe
the quack is more noticeable through headphones than without?

IMO, no. A duck is going to quack, and a piezo UST is too.
You can fool with eq to notch it out, but I prefer as pure
a sound as possible out of the gate.

So, here's my plug.... http://www.shorelinemusic.com/amplification/kk.shtml

I use the Pure Western with the PureXLR preamp. No quack - very natural
sound - drop dead quiet, and - no battery on the guitar.

Happy Trails...

Mitch
