Unfortunately the sound of the magnetic PU so close to the bridge is no
good, and the separation of the strings is not very good either. But with
piezo PU, its interesting. You might not want to ocupy a whole mixer
though, and the most interesting is distorting and octaving of each string.

PARADIS offered those features during 10 years. Now its closed and Rolf is
happy to finally earn some money as a van driver...
