True to the Music USING THE PZ-DI The Radial PZ-DI is pretty much ‘plug and play’ easy to use. There are only a few little extras that one needs to be aware of to take full advantage of the PZ-DI’s feature set. The easiest way to... - Page 6 Drag Control reintroduces the load on the pickup to replicate how the guitar sounds when connected directly to a tube (valve) amp through a length of cable. Because the PZ-DI is buffered, the signal will likely be too clean if set to full. The 12 o’clock position replicates the sound of a Fender Stratocaster®...

True to the Music The Built In Direct Box The PZ-DI is equipped with a built-in active Radial DI box that works exclusively with the piezo channel. This DI circuit is similar to the popular Radial J48 in that it is active and able to handle plenty of level without distortion. - Page 8 For the electric-magnetic pickup signal path, pedals would simply be connected from the ¼” electric output before going to the stage amp. The PZ-DI will act as a buffer for the pedals which will quiet them down and allow longer cable runs to 50 feet (15 meters) without appreciable noise.
- Page 9 15 volt supply. Will the PZ-DI alter my electric guitar tone? Yes and no. The PZ-DI will buffer your guitar and it will lower the impedance. This lowers noise, allows you to run longer cables and eliminates the popping when you switch pickups on and off.
