Warning
Installation of the Powerchip may require structural modification to the gui-
tar. We strongly recommend that any modifications be performed by a com-
petent repair person. Fishman Transducers will be in no way responsible for
damages to the guitar, incurred as a result of improper installation.
Description and Features
The Powerchip is a miniature onboard Piezo/Magnetic pickup mixing pre-
amp, dedicated to the Fishman Powerbridge system. The preamp, mounted
to the underside of a volume pot, allows guitarists to combine or split Piezo
and Magnetic pickups without any additional outboard signal routing elec-
tronics.
The Powerchip features an independent Piezo volume control, and internal
“set it and forget it” Phase and Piezo Trim controls. A “smart” electronic
switch in the Powerchip circuit automatically routes Piezo and Magnetic
pickup signals to either stereo or mono signal paths.
