Hi.
This is my first post ever. I hope it's in the right place.
I've managed to re-amp my Darf Fire's Hex piezo pickup, with two pro custom made cables, basically like this :
(see attached image : Dark Fire Hex pickup re-amp on VG-99.jpg).

I would like to do something similar to re-amp my Variax JTV69 piezo pickup, basically like this :
(see attached image : Variax piezo pickup re-amp.jpg).

Is it possible ?
Thanks for your help.

The Dark Fire has separate string outputs - with the MiniDIN jack on the RIP box

the Variax lacks a separate string output connection jack

Thanks Elantric. I've checked those.

Do you know what are the two black cables in the JTV-69 piezo 8pin connector below ?
Let's say I build a kind of "8pin to 6x balanced Jack" 10 feet adapter (not a GK adapter).
If I use this adapter to connect my Variax piezo pickup directly to my audio interface inputs, will I be able to record the JTV's hex signal ?
And if so, if I use this adapter to connect my audio interface outputs to directly into the Variax mainboard, will I be able to playback my recorded hex track into the Variax ?
The [red, white, yellow, yellow, white, red] cables below are obviously e,B,G,D,A,E.
But the two black ones, I don't know... Ground ? Voltage ?

Thanks again for your help.

You'll have to explore on your own
The dual cables are Tyler Variax  piezo saddle signals ( and I lack a schematic , only Line -6 Service Centers have those )
