Hi bandit,
Through an acoustic amp at bedroom levels, it may be difficult to tell the difference between wiith and w/o the sensor. The soundboard sensor picks up (for lack of a better word) the "thumpiness" of the wood, and that wood's specific timrbral nuances, then gets summed with the under-fingerboard mag pup. With the volume low, particualrly through a modest amp, those nuances may be "overlooked" and not amplified such that you can readily perceive the differences. But through a house PA or at typical stage volume, rest assured the tonal difference is there. Also, both these pups are in series, so if both are "on" and you have sound, they
are working.
BTW, the only reason to shut the body sensor off is if experiencing feedback from a
really loud stage setup. FWIW, I've had floor wedges blaring up at me and still
never had any of my ES-guitars feedback; it's a really great system IMHO. So barring any arena gigs you may be scheduled for, I'd just leave that switch on and enjoy the guit
