And in theory it could, but I don't think Hermann is advising anyone
to use Guitarix to fix a technical issue such as this one. For a piezo
pickup you need the right preamp, either a very high-Z one or a charge
amplifier. Not to create any 'sound' but just to make it work as intended.
This has nothing at all to do with Guitarix or even tube emulation in
general, so you better stop whining about it.

A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.
It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris
and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)
Piezos have a capacitive impedance, together with
the preamp resistive
input impedance this forms a first order highpass filter. A typical mic
input is around 2 kOhms, this would place the cutoff frequency somewhere
in the high audio range, with 6 dB/oct below that. Could be EQ'd in theory,
but for musical use it's usually better to use a high-Z preamp.
Have you tested Guitarix? Hermann claims that Guitarix fix such an
issue, if you know how to handle Guitarix.
