I installed a Gitty rod piezo with an in-line active preamp sitting directly on the guitar top under the saddle and the guitar sounds much too bright with lots of string noise and feedback.
I'm wondering if I should have routed out the bridge and left some wood between the bottom of the pickup and the guitar top rather than have the direct contact?
Is there a way to tone down the string noise and overall brightness with an under saddle pickup? Maybe insert some sort of cushion under the rod?
I'm playing through a micro cube and a 2.5 watt Gitty amp.
Thanks!

Thanks very much Wayfinder, I will give those ideas a try. I love the sound of the pickup, there is just too much of it!
