Tonedexter first experience - truly amazing
I'm not a live sound tech or a recording engineer by any means. So I just bought some gear and followed directions. I know those who have a Tonedexter already know this, but I thought I'd share for the benefit of those considering investing in one.
The results are unbelievable! It took me a few tries to get the right mic placement. Once I found it, holy smokes! I can actually get a sound that's better than mic'd, through the pickup! And... with the Character setting, it can be adjusted for use on stage with a band. Some tips: 1. Dynamic mics don't really work. I tried a very nice Sennheiser e935 that I already owned and it didn't do it. You'll need to invest in some type of condenser mic. 2. Buy good headphones. You'll need to be able to compare various mic placements in detail. Good sound isolation and flat frequency response (monitor headphones) are basically required. 3. Experiment with mic placement. Small changes make a big difference. |

I played live (gigged, I suppose) with my Tonedexter for the first time today at church. Worked great. The one thing I wish were different about the Tonedexter is if it could be powered with phantom power from the XLR output. No big deal, but that would increase its convenience.
Building my live rig around the Tonedexter going forward. Solid / revolutionary product. |

Of course, everyone says it “sounds great” because 1) It’s church 2) They don’t know what to listen for and 3) All of this is splitting hairs. It does sound great. |
