Appendix B: Dark Fire Electronics Block Diagram
This diagram indicates signal flow within Dark Fire's electronics. Note that the magnetic pickups and
Piezo pickup have their own equalizers, and that the Piezo blend circuit is post-equalizer.
In Hex Mode, the RIP Computer Interface does sophisticated analog signal multiplexing in order to
have the Piezo pickup and the individual hex pickups available on a single conductor (i.e., the stereo
cable's ring connection).
