I got a mandolin from an old friend that had a Radius pickup (with carpenter jack) on it, but he said it didn't seem to work last time he'd used it, but that was over 5 years ago. I took the pickup off at first to do other needed work, but now, about a year later, I'm wondering if it is functional. I thought I'd do a quick check of the DC resistance and got a about .5MΩ (ohm), i.e., about 5-10x a magnetic pickup. Is this the typical range? Just want to not waste time putting it on and dragging the PA out to test it.
On a related question, if it is in-range, I did read that it should have at least a 2.2MΩ impedance input on a preamp. Does anyone use one of these with a Gigpro (that manual says it has 10MΩ input impedance)? I'd like to avoid a floor pedal setup for now.
