Tonedexter outside performance

[gfirob]

Had another occasion to use the Tonedexter playing out last night. The event was a birthday party for a beloved town figure, at a big pavilion with a pizza oven. There were 60 or 70 people spread out in a fairy wide area, with two guitar players. I played a rosewood Martin OM with K&K’s and a Tonedexter and the other musician played a 12 fret 00 mahogany Collings into a Shure dynamic mike. The amp was a Fishman stick amp and we had a little Berringer monitor. The voice mike was an Ear Trumpet Edwina. We had a little Mackie mixer to keep the levels straight.

It was a wine event so it got very loud pretty quickly and we had to crank the Fishman up fairly high to be heard. There were occasional feedback problems with the mikes (especially associated with the little monitor) but nothing that could not be dealt with. No feedback issues with the Tonedexter. I think using a condenser mike for the vocals made life a little more difficult, but we were able to use it for both singers which we would not have been able to do comfortably with a single dynamic mike.

But there were zero issues with the Tonedexter. It did its job without fussing with it and the Martin sounded great. The Collings sounded great too through a mike. It was a nice combination.
