I have finally come around to reading the ToneDexter threads and am very interested in buying one.
I play only nylon string guitar. Has anyone tried a TD with a nylon string guitar? I get the strong impression that everyone on the TD threads is a steel string player. OK, I only read about half of the 318 posts on the long TD thread from last April. Maybe I missed a nylon string player's comments. In one of these ToneDexter threads I read a comment that someone had tried training the TD on one guitar and that then using the saved result with another guitar worked well. For the longest time I have wished that there was something (I always imagined maybe one of the guitar synthesizers) that I could use to make my Parker nylon Fly sound like a classical guitar. Now I wonder if it might be possible to train the TD using a classical guitar and then use the result with the Parker nylon Fly to get a classical guitar sound? Any thoughts? Thanks! |

The live-demo I had about a month ago with James May included using the TD with classical guitar, and then we also used the wave map from that guitar on a Yamaha Silent Guitar...it delivered the same sound, as amplified. I think this answers your question(s).

It seems you've been pointed to the right info. I would add that Stevie Coyle of Mighty Fine Guitars (one of our dealers) is routinely performing with his steel string Parker Fly using a WaveMap that was created with one of his very nice acoustic instruments. This trick is most successful with typical under saddle pickups.

Congratulations to you Audio Sprockets folks for being very quick to discover and demonstrate ToneDexter's modeling potential. BTW, I'm finding that I like ToneDexter's low character setting for some gigging applications. Congrats to Audio Sprockets for finding a way to provide a more focused signal without having to blend some of the dry signal quack back into my guitar sound. |

I'm such a believer in this unit. It's working great for me in a variety of gig situations. I want to stress that I'm an "analogue person." I love LPs, tubes, The whole 9 yards. But the TD is truly revolutionary. Jenn |

Can I use my Martin D-35 wavemap with my PRS piezo out? I assume it’s the same thing.

Its certainly worth a try. When it comes to modeling, its safe to conclude that some "mix and match" combinations of WaveMaps and modeling platform guitar/pickup rigs will work better than others.

Reading through this thread and watching all the You Tube videos the Tone Dexter seems like a DIY kind of Fishman Aura system - combining the mic'd attributes of the guitar with the real-time playing to push that blended signal to the PA or record desk. The Tone Dexter allows you to choose the mic's you use, unlike the long list of pre-imaged mic's with the Fishman Aura Gallery - but the net effect seems to be the same - very much improved, organic mic'd acoustic guitar tone to the front of house in a live situation and as another track source

My 2 cents, based on my own experience making IRs. Cuki

Through watching reviews of the Godin nylon grand concert duet ambiance, I have been considering saving up for one. The modelled tones are beautiful. I was wondering if similar results could be obtained by using the Tonedexter in combination with a different Godin nylon-string multiac that doesn't have the Fishman electronics. It would be nice to have a synth-access nylon-string Godin, but to also be able to use the TD to get a more realistic natural mic'd sound as well.

I have a Composite Acoustics GX that I ordered with the Fishman Aura, but the ToneDexter really intrigues me for other guitars. In particular, a 1937 Gibson L-7 I just acquired. I don't want to make any mods to it.
A Pickup the World Archtop pickup would go under the existing bridge, and seems like it might work well with the ToneDexter. The PUTW site says it's a "compression type" pickup--would that be more like a UST or a SBT? Either way, it ought to work with the TD, right? |

On the other hand, ToneDexter is satisfying my home recording needs right off the bat. I trained a WaveMap for my cheapo Samick OM yesterday. I used a cheap omni-directional condenser mic (Behringer ECM8000) to train, and the impromtu sound samples which I recorded are quite pleasing to me (in sound quality, at least). The samples include some pretty aggressive strumming, with zero "quack" (by my definition) resulting. https://soundcloud.com/guitaniac/ton...s-bare-fingers |
