PSR s970 guitar problem

[allan70]

Hi l have a new psr s970 and at the to same time l bought a Taylor Baby with piezo pickup built in. now the problem l have is no matter what l do every time l try to get the guitar to connect to the s970 I get a sound like an ear loop, l have tried different plugs even tried it in a different home. the gain is low and the switch on the rear of the par s970 is set to Guitar. does anyone have any ideas how to get a good sound out of the keyboard Oh when l turn the guitar on for the tuner the sound on the keyboard goes off

ready to pull what little hair l have out lol
regards

Probably the piezo output is too low.

Hoping you have a guitar Amp which has seperate send and receive sockets.

If you do feed the guitar into the Amp, turn the gain down to zero and take a lead from the send and plug this in to the Yamaha.

Switch eveything on and see what happens, turning the gain up until the Yamaha gives you a decent sound level.

What you are doing is using the pre-amp of the guitar a,p to boost the signal from the piezo pickup to a level that the Yamaha accepts.

Or take it back to where you bought it from and see how it fairs when plugged into other keyboards in the shop.

mmm yes l understand that but l did not want to use the Roland amp all l want is for the guitar to work just had a thought what about if l try a DI box ?????

Why not try the Amp thing I suggested, if it is then OK you know its the piezo output then it probably would be better and cheaper swapping the guitar

Not 100% sure on this but one of these should solve the problem.
