Ovation 1st and 2nd Gen PreAmp Question

jay Posted 2011-08-22 12:03 AM (#349382) Subject: Ovation 1st and 2nd Gen PreAmp Question Joined: January 2009 Posts: 1249 Location: Texas A couple of questions... Are the piezo pickups for the 1st two Gens (Volume and stacked volume and tone) the same? If you had a 1st Gen, wouldnt it be an easy swap...if one could find a 2nd Gen laying around? Did either of these have a model designation like the OPxx, etc? Thanks for any time in responses bburg Posted 2011-08-22 1:19 PM (#349383 - in reply to #349382) Subject: Re: Ovation 1st and 2nd Gen PreAmp Question Joined: August 2009 Posts: 1137 Location: Germany, where delicious wine is growing (Rheinh) Hi, Jay, I've changed them in all directions, they ever played well. The newer ones (without the black pins on the sides) are a bit louder, more dynamics and less noisy. They are usually built in with the OP-XXX Series. Bernie
