Re: Getting A-E strings volume balanced on 8 string solid?
I thought I saw the Stevens 5 string .. did some mechanical sense ... angling the pickup further from the bridge,
so the thin tight E string's amplitude in vibrating wave form might be wider , than if the pickup angles towards the bridge ...
(since string motion in the magnetic field is the source of the signal,
& not many frets, so pickups are closer to the string octave-midpoint..
as is done on much longer scale guitars, which a lot of builders seem to emulate in electric mandolins..
Wind a second single pole pickup just under the E strings?
Fitting an in-bridge piezo pickup & blend it's signal in , with the magnetic pickup signal in a second channel?
[+ a milti-band EQ to boost the weak frequencies & cut the strong ones]
Rack mounts have more band controls than pedal ones.
