I've been trying figure out how to simulate distortion effect FOR MY ACOUSTIC CIGAR BOX GUITAR--without electrifying it! Any thoughts, beyond creating cracks in the wood?

Is it true you can drill through the middle of a piezo and it will still function?
oh--lug 3 goes to your output jack.
Nick--solder the ground to the flat surface of the volume pot and the white wire to lug 1 of the pot. Use a 500K audio taper pot.
I want to try something different and put a mini humbucker in one of my CBG's. Usually just use the radio shack piezo or nothing at all. Not a wiring genius, but I noticed I only have a ground and a white wire to work with on the humbucker. I'd like to put a volume knob at least on the box.
i did a video demo for this Ge pedal , love it !
