The sound isn't even close to being boomy. If it had any negative characteristics it would be thinness compared to a regular system. But again, a mic'd guitar does sound thin.
On the second set, the host (whose a bit of a tinkerer) came up and helped me setup and he adjusted the mids on the Fender acoustic amp (pulled it down). This was a pleasant change as it gave my vocals a bit of room.
I've got a three hour gig in a big bar next month and I'll definitely do some experimenting with all the controls. By then I'll have it running into a DigiTech RP360 for some polish (parametric eq, reverb).

I'd agree that the Dexterized signal sounds thinner (or less phat) than the Pure Mini. It doesn't sound
too thin to my ear, however. Its not as thin sounding to me as the Lyric is, or the high end of the Anthem SL. I can see how those later two pickups benefit a bit from the Session DI's processing.
James May has mentioned that ToneDexter works with the Lyric. That will be an interesting comparison when we finally hear the dry/wet comparison for that combination.
