ToneDexter and a KM184
I just received my Tonedexter and am ready to "train" it. The only SD mic I have is a KM184. I know the correct answer is to experiment with mic placement and see what sounds best but I thought I'd try to learn from the experience of other TD users to see if anyone has used a KM184 on a dreadnaught (mine is a HD28V w/K&K) and to see what your best results have been?

Perfect match IMO.
When I got my TD, the first mics I tried where the mics I prefer for recording: Schoeps MK4 and Neumann KM84. To my ears the resulting wavemaps lacked some treble. So I grabbed my KM184 , and the new wavemap is the one I still use. Guitar is a D28 by Jim Merrill (he calls it C28), pickup is Ultra Tonic (pretty similar to a K&K but with clever improvements), mic poining down to neck/body joint (like recommended in the TD manual).

While the Neumann KM184 does not have a totally flat response (it has a HF lift), it does have quality accuracy, detail and linearity. It should do just fine with the Tonedexter.

That’s what I have. I like it about 6” away from where the neck meets the body and pointing towards the neck a little. You need to make a bunch and see which is best for you.

For me great headphones, and my acoustic amp are in the room when I sample new wave-forms with my ToneDexter. The space is the 'other' ingredient/parameter to be factored in. I'm guessing your KM184 is going to produce above average samples. I have three stock mic positions I've landed on in my space which I use to pull multiple samples. So I can pull them quickly (under 5 minutes) and then choose my favorites.
