    The high pass filter on the pia (16:00) is used to filter out bottom end when you are using a high gain tone and you roll off the volume. It gets rid of the muffled low end you get by doing that.

  • @romanfinch5609
    @romanfinch5609 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    On the Pia, if the high pass filter is like a regular treble bleed circuit, you wont hear a difference until the volume knob on the guitar is rolled down. It'll preserve the highs even as the volume is rolled down.
    Phil McKnight has a great video showing how the treble bleed only makes a difference when the guitar volume is rolled off.

    A guitar player can play any style on any guitar. Putting a guitar in a box because of A: What it looks like or B: What pickups it has is simply asking for a musician to stick two fingers up and tell the world how wrong they are. Rab and the Mad Dane showing the versatility of the guitar in one jam.

    No, the point of the high pass filter is to prevent high end roll-off when winding down the volume. So you won't hear a difference at full volume (the cap is shorted by the top of the volume pot)m but as you turn down the higher frequencies won't die as quickly.

    • @screew708
      @screew708 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      A high-pass filter let's high frequencies pass through, hence it's name. A highpass does not compensate for the loss of high end when turning down the volume, it merely cuts low frequencies.

    I have the impression that the push pull is a treble bleed circuit. If so it only effects tone when you turn down the volume and is there to keep the highs when rolling off the volume. At least the JS sig is like that.

    Yes you can get a jazz sound out of the Pia. The hardware is good as well as the woods. You even got a humbucker at the edge of the neck. While it was not designed for jazz the Vai guitar is for all intended purposes a strat and you can get a good jazz sound out of a strat. Before a bud of mine gave me a Gibson about 10 years ago for most of my career I have been playing jazz on a strat. I am not too far, just hit me up.
