The OPA2134 (or the single OPA134) has an input impedance of 10TΩ - and that is not a misprint. 9V alkaline batteries have a typical capacity of around 580mA/h, so with a load of ~10mA it should provide over 50 hours operation (including the LED). Be aware that the OPA2134 draws roughly double the supply current of a TL072, so battery life will be reduced. A single 9V battery is not advised for a TL072 because it is not designed for operation at less than 10V. While the OPA2134 is a fairly expensive opamp, they have much lower noise than the common-or-garden TL072. The three circuits are shown using a 9V battery and an OPA2134 (or NJM2068) opamp. Some players tune for C 1 (32Hz), but that's still easily accommodated with the circuits shown below. The circuit is simplified considerably for musical instruments, because response below 40Hz isn't necessary (the lowest note on a traditionally tuned double bass is E 1 - 41Hz). The circuits shown in the article/ project are intended more for a specialised bench amplifier, and aren't really suitable for musical instrument pickups. The general principles are discussed in some detail, but it can't be considered a 'true' project for several reasons.įor starters, the final circuit (shown in Figure 10 of the referenced article) requires the use of a 1GΩ resistor, and these are not easy to get and are expensive. The basic principles are discussed in the article High Impedance Input Stages / Project 161. I've also experimented with piezo transducers. However, there is an exception to the 'high impedance' rule that's covered later (charge amplifier)įor reasons that escape me, I've not described a piezo preamp before this, even though I have used piezo transducers in a number of projects developed for customers. While bipolar input opamps can be used, there will be a significant noise penalty. Almost without exception, this means a FET input, either JFET or FET input opamp. In most cases, the input impedance needs to be somewhere between 'high' (1MΩ or so) to exceptionally high (greater than 100MΩ). They can be used as pickups for various musical instruments, such as acoustic guitars, violins, cellos, double-bass (aka upright bass), ukuleles and mandolins (etc.), and also as accelerometers. If you prefer a boutique approach, we offer the ever-incredible PRS guitars with their exquisite timbers and contemporary look, as well as limited edition guitars from the Fender Custom Shop & Gibson Custom Shop.Piezo transducers are common in a range of different areas. We also stock Chapman Guitars and Reverend for players who want a high-quality, versatile guitar at a lower price. What if you want something with a different look and sound? Well, we’ve got hard-thrashing ESP guitars, Ibanez for the shredders and Jackson for the metalheads. Here at Andertons, we've got iconic electric guitars like the Fender Stratocaster, Telecaster and the Gibson Les Paul - instruments that you would see gracing stages the world over. No instrument has inspired so many to start rocking as the electric guitar. We love guitars and we’ve been selling them for over 55 years now. So, you could say that we know a thing or two about what's good and what's bad! Take a look at our massive selection in the knowledge that our stock has been curated to include the finest instruments that money can buy - at any price-point! ![]()
