As far as ToneDexter, it sounds like you just need to encounter a few people who are using it successfully to make up for your bad experiences. They're out there. As I think someone else mentioned in one of these threads, one of the most impressive demonstrations I've seen lately was the CA Guitar Trio. They used to be a total quack-fest. With all three using ToneDexters, the sound was quite impressive, with the individual character of each guitar coming thru for nearly studio-quality tone.

Thanks.
Most of my work is as a multi-instrumentalist, and so my pedalboard contains preamps/EQs/tuners for each (currently a Radial PZ-Deluxe and a PZ-Pre), which are then submixed via a compact mixer mounted on the board so I can just send one line out to FOH instead of 3. My hope was that the TD would allow me to replace all of that with one pedal. And it's VERY close. But all of my instruments output a signal at different levels, so not being able to save the gain setting means I can't just use a preset for each instrument. And then there are songs where I have to switch instruments mid-song, and bending down to turn the knob is not ideal. Saving gain settings for each preset and the ability to toggle up/down through presets would be an absolute game changer for me. |

My understanding is that Tonedexter IRs are proprietary. Have you actually been successful loading a Tonedexter IR into the Helix Stomp?

It is possible to capture an IR from any device...

I did find that the TD was a little light in the loafers going to a live sound setup...my fix is to not use the XLR out and run the 1/4 inch out of the TD into to a Radial DI...(a passive DI)..and then to the board....try it...you might be as surprised as I was...I bet an Active DI would make it that much bigger sounding...

Then to add comp delay and reverb pedals. I would be back to a pedalboard. The helix solved this for me. |

My guitar ir is a sound hole pup from a Martin d45. My mandolin ir is a Gibson f. And my bass ir is some 17th century upright. Interestingly enough when I had my tonedexter I made the ir using my kk mini. But played thru the td live using the kk ir but a baggs m80 in my guitar . It sounded great. You can use a mag pup with the ir .you just can't generate the ir with a mag pup.. |

I still have my TD, though. But I have not used it in a long time. |

My presets squared away in the helix its Not too bad. Oddly enough in the band I run the helix into a touchmix 16. I miss our old analog board where I could reach Over and tweak the mid knob during a song. This digital technology has a ways to go sound wise and ease of use wise as well. No one seems to care about this loss in audio quality..But you can still buy a turntable so apparently there are some of us that appreciate the difference. |

Exactly. Depending on the venue, sometimes I'll need to tweak something on one of my Radial pres or adjust level on my submix board.
