ToneDexter - The Holy Grail!
Picked up my ToneDexter yesterday from old friend Stevie at Mighty Fine Guitars.
The TD is amazing! It is the tone I have been searching for in amplified acoustic sound since the mid 90s. It is the purest acoustic guitar amplified sound I have ever heard. I trained a Dazzo SBT-equipped Taylor 814ce with a Shure SM81, miked at 15" from the neck body joint straight on. The manual was easy to follow, and my first training attempt produced a very pleasing result in about 3 minutes. I then used that map for a Dazzo-equipped Blackbird Lucky 13 carbon fiber guitar, plugged into a Schertler Jam 150. Though you can tell the difference between the two when amplified, they are pretty close in tone. So now I have a carbon guitar that sounds like a miked wooden guitar when amplified. Wow! I understand why these units are selling as fast as they are made. This is the best $400 I have ever invested in acoustic amplification. Just wanted to give a shout out to an amazing, magical product. ~ Mike |
Congrats! I love mine as well.

Awesome! I am in the process of ordering mine now!

I got one of the very first batch, it's marvelous. I'm also equipping all my guitars with James's SBT system. He was nice enough to throw in the exciter with the lot so I can do the fine tuning myself.
Like you I was never satisfied with the amplified sound until now. "Quack no more" |
+1 ToneDexter!

I really hope this ends my acoustic amplification search. I think the most exciting part is that I hopefully will not have to worry so much about the pickup itself in the future. I won't cheap out but there doesn't really seem to be any benefit to dropping $300+ on a system when I simply can install a UST or a more affordable SBT like the pure mini.

anyone have live recordings of TD
I've listened to all the TD demos I can find, but I want to hear it on stage. All I've found are Peter Frampton videos, which weren't very informative to me. Anyone know of others?

Re: TD live demos, I have learned over many years of gigging that what might sound good in my music room at home or when recording a track, can be very different on stage in a multitude of ways.
