Actually ordered this:
although i didn't get the preamp with it.... is there a reason i would want to? I figured i could just hook it up to my Electronaut M67 preamp and run it through some tubes for color that way too.
Not to get all "you just went full 'what's a VCA ' again" but You need a piezo pre-amp or it's going to sound like shit. It's an impedance thing.
You literally just bought the least essential element.
ok so I'll just run my preamp through a VCA. Problem solved!
The M67 might work (want clips plz!) But just to follow up here's a read on piezo impedance
