I think its the pick up but not sure. Signal pass to the plate and I can hear it when standing next to it. There is no signal from the pick up. When I jiggle the Pick up wire into the main electronics, I can hear full sound when the contact touches and un-touches meaning the electronics seem ok.
When I tap the plate with my fingers, a loud weird sound comes out of the main output from the pick ups. So the pickup only picks up very loud finger tapped sounds but makes a very awful weird sound ( not a clean plate sound).
So the pick up will only respond to finger tapping on the plate itself. Im guessing the pick up is broken??
ALSO, I can hear a very quaint dry signal of the signal being sent to it,coming through the outputs(even with the pick up wire dis-engaged). Is that normal?
Should I hire a competent person to fix it instead??
Thanks so much for any assistance!!!!!
