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.
