Default weird sound from ES 2 system

I just picked up a 2015 314 ce Taylor. love the guitar, but not familiar with the pickup system. I only have a electric guitar amp right now, so I'm not sure if thats the problem.

I get a weird "chirping" sound when the pick is on the up stroke. I've fiddled with all the settings on guitar and amp, also changed to 3 different pick materials, still there.

I have never noticed this with my other A/E Tak that I have.

Does anyone know if there is an adjustment I can make to solve this? Any suggestions would be welcome, Thanks

IF you have the ES2, then there are 3 adjustment screws mounted in the bridge just behind the saddle. Somene else can advise on the direction, but a 1/8-1/4 turn of adjustment usually reduces the string sound picked up by the system.

Thanks for the tip, I'm going to have to play around with those adjustment screws and see what happens.
