Stereo Operation

Plug a stereo “Y” cable into the output of the Powerchip  equipped guitar and
split the Magnetic and Piezo pickup signals to separate destinations. Send
the buffered Piezo signal (Ring) to any instrument level audio input, such as
an acoustic instrument amplifier or PA system.

Send the  unbuffered,

“immaculate” Magnetic pickup signal (Tip) to a traditional electric guitar
amplifier, with no added coloration or signal treatment between the Magnetic
pickup and the amplifier.
