Do you have an LR Baggs Session DI Acoustic that you could use to do a recording of your CEO-7, with the Session DI's controls set at what you think is a pleasing tone? It would be nice to compare what the K&K/Session DI recording sounds like compared with a K&K/ToneDexterized recording. Anyway, it sounds like the ToneDexter is a worthwhile device. Enjoy!

Buzzardwhiskey,
Plugged your recording into my pa and it sounds great. I was listening through headphones before. The tone dexter definitely makes a difference. Last edited by Marty C; 04-21-2017 at 04:26 PM. Reason: Wrong quote attached |

I don't have a simple pre-amp any more. All I have is the Zoom A3 (which is not straightforward at all).

I have been told that the undersaddle fishman will be less prone to feedback and be 'punchier'. Since I don't do percussive playing on the body I am going to have a Matrix Infinity installed into my OM28. I'm hoping it will work even better for me.

Just to be clear, were you told that by James or did you read it somewhere else? Again, just trying to get a sense for how this effect works. I would have thought that it would give the same tone with a SBT and UST.

James told me this. The pickups do interact differently. I'm not quite sure how but I'd like to know myself.. the main thing is that an undersaddle won't pick up the body sounds and feedback as much which is good for me.

In fairness, the A3 can be set up for very straight forward use. For absolute simplicity, you could always put sections 1, 2 & 3 on bypass and just use the A3's manual three band EQ, the gain knob and the volume level knob. Beyond that, the tuner, the boost pedal and the automatic feedback zapper are pretty easy to use.

James did say that an SBT w/ToneDexter will be a little more feedback prone than a UST w/ToneDexter. However, he also said that an SBT w/ToneDexter will be less feedback prone than an SBT without ToneDexter. Please let us know if you have feedback problems in difficult performance environments - or if the live sound just isn't to your liking once you've employed the necessary steps to solve a feedback problem (sweepable notch, tone controls, phase inversion). If an SBT/w ToneDexter won't handle those worst case scenario gigs, I suppose that some folks might opt to have their instruments equipped with both an SBT and a UST. It would be easy enough to make a WaveMap for each pickup and choose whichever pickup best fits the performing environment. |

I'm heading to an Irish bar now. Last time I took a Rainsong with k and k i had feedback issues.
I need to know more about this pedal so I'm taking my OM-42 and tone dexter. At home a part of me was wishing I could blend some unaffected pickup back in for attack. I'm trying to help it by cutting bass, adding treble and using the notch. Only a live gig will tell me if I need that or not. I do wonder why they didn't include a 'blend knob' but I'm hoping I don't need it. I'll report back. |

Played 8 tunes, 4 with my band and 4 solo this eve. The venue supplies a line of Fender acoustic amps, so that what I plugged the Tonedexter into.
It worked beautifully. Easy peezy. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Did you need to do anything at all (invert the phase, use the sweepable notch, roll off the bass) to deal with feedback or a boominess problem? Have you found a use for the "character" function yet (like cutting through the band mix), or does some added "character" still seem counterproductive for your personal taste in tone and your live performance needs? |

I really enjoyed the set up last night. My monitor was one of the mini nejringer things but the sound was good. I didn't have as much boominess as I do at home, my monitor speakers are possibly too close the the wall or something.
The boost works well but for some songs I actually went into bypass mode and used the raw pickup for solos, this is handy! I actually liked the bypassed sound a lot more than I ever have. I still find the K&K to lack punch in the bass. I think I'll enjoy the TD even more with an undersaddle pickup. We will have to see. Planning using it again over the weekend and next week with the undersaddle pickup. |

Good reports guys. Keep them coming. It sounds as if Tonedexter is doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
As I read comments, it reminds me of all the discussion on the forum about my guitar only louder concept. If your guitar was only louder, it wouldn't always cut through a mix satisfactorily. It is a great place to start...you get a great sound set flat. It's a pretty good place to be.
