## Overview

The Fishman Powerchip Powerbridge Mixer is a compact, battery-powered onboard preamp designed to blend piezo and magnetic pickups seamlessly. Featuring Fishman’s exclusive Smart Switch circuit, it automatically routes signals to stereo or mono outputs, offering guitarists versatile tonal control without bulky external gear. With independent piezo volume and trim controls, this mixer enhances your instrument’s sonic range, making it an essential upgrade for professional and passionate players alike.

## Description

The essential onboard accessory for mixing of your Power bridge and magnetic pickups: this Fishman-designed piezo volume control works in conjunction with the exclusive 'Smart Switch' circuit, which automatically splits your piezo and magnetic signals to stereo or mixes them to mono. Requires 9-Volt battery installation. Battery box also available from Fishman. Professional installation is recommended. The Power chip is a miniature onboard Piezo/Magnetic pickup mixing preamp, dedicated to the Fishman Power bridge system. The preamp, mounted to the underside of a volume pot, allows guitarists to combine or split Piezo and Magnetic pickups without any additional outboard signal routing electronics. The Power chip features an independent Piezo volume control, and internal "set it and forget it " Phase and Piezo Trim controls. A "smart " electronic switch in the Power chip circuit automatically routes Piezo and Magnetic pickup signals to either stereo or mono signal paths.

Review: Lifesaver - Bought this after mine stopped working. I had a version 1 on my Parker Nitefly-M and was a little skeptical of this to work on it (connections are a little different). After reading the setup instructions, I was able to easily solder the right cables to the right points and it's working fine since. The piezo on my Parker works like new now!
Review: This thing is AWESOME! - I love this knob. I didn't want to spend this much money but man is it worth it. You can use it two ways. 1. Stereo 1/4 inch cable with splitter at the end. Tip is Piezo, ring is pickups. 2. Standard mono 1/4 inch. Powerbridge then will blend in the piezo. The wiring diagram has a third option where you can mount a switch (not included) that can turn on and off the piezo. I didn't want to mod my Les Paul style guitar so I just went with the first two. You can always turn it off with a pedal. I did have to shave off some of the plastic from the 1/4 jack that replaces the guitar's jack to get it to fit in the hole using a dremel and a sanding drum. I absolutely love mixing in the piezo bridge (I bought that from another supplier) -- gives a very unique bright sound to your normal pickups, or turn off the pickups and go with the acoustic sound -- not going to replace your Martin, but does sound pretty good, better than some real acoustics.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Balanced out the piezo
*by D***N on September 20, 2024*

As designed, this perfectly balanced the output of my Fishman Piezo bridge with my vintage Seymor Duncan neck pickup and Joe Bardan bridge pickup! It sounds awesome
