There is a lot of good info on this thread. I agree with the other Dazzo users. The Dazzo is so mic like that the TD makes it different, not necessarily better. If you decide that you like the new sound your getting from the HFN then definitely go with the Grace Alix. I owned one and it is a total quality piece of gear. If you believe you need to make corrections in the plugged in tone then go with the TD.
I am waiting for the Sunnaudio guys to come out with their full featured preamp DI. No need for AC power and high quality components. Their two channel version will be available soon and their one channel should come after that.

Yes! I'm glad this thread came this far, with all these good information.
I will check my live sound soon, next sunday, and I will make my decision after my gig. If it sound natural enough, I will probably get me an Alix. If I think it isn't too natural, I'll get the TD. Either way, I'll have a great gear at my hand! If I'm getting me a Alix, I'll probably get me a LR Baggs Align Session (like my session, but without the DI/Preamp, since I'd be using the Alix for it. I'm looking forward for sunday!

A Baby Step Toward IR Generation Code in Matlab
I generated my first IR with Matlab this morning.
Nothing too exciting yet... I took a single 2^17 sample segment (about 3 seconds, starting about 6 seconds in) out of the RainSong CH-PA/HFN recording I sent Cuki79, Blackman windowed it (a slow rise and fall in volume at the beginning and end of the segment) as advised by Cuki79, and did the simplest FFT, divide, iFFT, and truncate to 2048 long. As soon as I've got the code integrating multiple segments, generating the minimum phase version, and creating low/high cut versions; I'll be looking for some input from volunteers. I tried it out today with Reaper's Reaverb effect and it sounded good to me. I'm not ready to take the trouble to download it to my HX Stomp quite yet. I need to pony up another $50 for the DSP package to generate the minimum phase version. I might port my code to Octave (free) first, but the Matlab environment is very friendly with tons of useful error reporting and good tutorial information. For the Google crawler and hopefully someone is interested (closing parenthesis on 'audiowrite' are being dropped by the AGF software): input = 'input.wav' % input file ss = (2^17); % segment size for analysis n = 3; % index into wave file in segments count = 0; % count variable for processed segments pupl = 1; % pickup left, mic right window = blackman(ss); % window function accir = zeros(ss,1); % initialize IR accumulator % to caclulate minimum phase version 'firminphase' requires DSP System Toolbox start = ((n-1) * ss); finish = ((n * ss) -1); index = [start, finish]; [s,fs] = audioread(input,index); % load segment smax = max(max(s)) % print max clip = (smax > 0.999); % check for clipping if clip == 0 % no clipping count = count + 1;end Quote:

Congratulations! I think you should start your own thread for that.
Also check your emails, I once sent you a link for already made matlab routines for the minimum phase filter. Cuki

Comparing Felix/Alix to ToneDexter is apples and oranges. The Grace preamps are totally pristine studio preamps in pedal form - if you like the sound of your pickup, they will transmit it faithfully and uncolored, other than allowing for very nice EQ. If you don't like the raw sound of your pickup AND would like to have it sound more like your acoustic sound (not everyone does), then ToneDexter can do that. It's not pristine and uncolored, it's all about modifying your pickup to match the acoustic sound of your guitar.

That one TRS 1/4" jack is both output (TIP) and input (RING). Thus, you can get a Y-cable that'll feed your effects pedal(s) and get their output.

Interesting, the audio sprockets page (https://audiosprockets.com/tonedexter/) shows a diagram for the "live" setup showing output and input going out/into the same "effect" jack on the back. You're suggesting connecting the effects pedals to the "output" jack on the left of the tonedexter and coming into the "effect" jack on the back of the tonedexter? That's exactly what I was thinking as well but the diagram on their site shows something else (or I'm misreading it).

Yes, that's exactly what you do. The effects jack doubles as both a send and a return by using the Y-cable.

https://secureservercdn.net/198.71.2...tudio_1280.jpg and focus only on the one that says "effects loop". The "single" effects jack is actually input and output, using a stereo jack. You need a splitter cable (insert cable) that allows you to have both an input and and output thru that single jack. Many preamps do this, to save space. Felix uses the same approach.

No... That won't work.

Whoops, misread the OPs question. Ignore what I said.

Aha! That's the information that was missing. I read the entire manual and looked at their web page but I didn't see this anywhere. Thanks for the clarification! I'm guessing I can get a "splitter cable" from guitar center?
