I have a TD I use it in our band. We get pretty
loud although we have no electric guitars.
So maybe not as loud as your band.
There is a thread here my guitar only louder.

Kinda sums up what i am about to say.
It's an unobtainable goal to expect a clean
natural sound from an acoustic in a loud
band situation. It's better to thin it out
a bit so it cuts through the mix.
Google" Fletcher munson curve. "
Which says basically as the volume goes up
so does your"perceived" bass and treble attenuation.
To make it stand out it can't occupy the
same sonic space as electric guitars bass and drums.
so it needs a bit of thinning. This is why
you can set up your pa at home and tweak it until
your guitar sounds so good it makes you cry. only
to use the exact settings at a loud gig and it makes
you cry for a different reason..lol
That being said the tonedexter can accomplish more for you
at these louder settings than your pickup alone can.
just a little more processed. It really is pretty good.
i saw one used on ebay yesterday not sure if it's still there. they go pretty fast.
