Why I'm Switching Out ALL of my Piezo Pickups // JourneyTek EP-001K Body Transducer

Check out the JourneyTek Body Transducing System - https://bit.ly/3voGTCR
Recently, I had switched out the undersaddle piezo pickup in my Martin HD-28 for a body transducing system. Not only was the a noticeable improvement in the amplified tone, but additionally the instrument just seemed to resonate better since I had removed the internal preamp and removed the piezo element that was separating the strings from the body. Since doing that, I've been wanting to switch over all of my acoustic instruments to similar body transducing systems as it's clearly the better option.

This video will serve as an introduction to the technology of piezo pickups meant to read the vibrations of the body of the instrument rather than just the saddle. I've also recorded a few samples as a shoutout between the stock undersaddle piezo and the JourneyTek pickup. I've cut them up and placed them back to back so it's easy to compare the difference in sound.
