I took a look at the users manual and of course they don't give you that spec. You can most likely email Line 6 and they will give it to you.

As far as buying a pickup goes it's fairly easy to remedy the mismatch between the piezo and the amp by buying a buffer preamp like FDeck's HPF/Pre or the Fishman Pro Platinum ( with all the bell's and whistles i.e the notch filter, graphic eq, and limiter). There's quite a difference in price between the HPF/Pre (really affordable) and other units on the market like the .
