Thanks for the heads-up on the name change, Aaron. I still think this device will be quite impressive, considering its mic simulation effect in combination with the programmable EQ and the anti-feedback wizardry.
I only wish that it also had a basic three band manual EQ for "quick and dirty" adjustments at the gig (presuming its a situation where the PA mixer isn't close at hand). |

The Voiceprint demo sounds like some frequencies are missing that ought to be there with that guitar. The result is very metallic and without depth. Its all personal opinion but I like my tone to be clear highs, clear lows and mids plus some depth or body resonance coming through. I don't hear much except clear highs but they are not very clean to me. Could just be the Element or strings, or pick or speaker or ???? as we know.

I think it will be hard to beat a Tonedexter for taking a piezo sound you don't like and turning it into an acoustic sound you do.
But why not start with a pickup sound you like? You can end up with good tone, not a simulation of good tone. Are these aimed at someone with a cheaper guitar they want to sound like a boutique guitar?

I use IRs with my Ryan, Hamblin, Lowdens, etc, not just cheaper guitars. They make the pickup sound a bit closer to the acoustic sound of the guitar. The "better" the guitar, the more likely it is you may notice the huge gap between the plugged in tone and the acoustic tone, so IRs really help.

What I like about the Tonedexter and hopefully the Voicepirnt, is that I can install a pickup like UST or K&K which are both consistent in terms of the tone they produce, but then use the IR’s to make them sound more like a mic. I have gone down the SBT rabbit hole and honestly, it’s always an experiment to find the right placement. Only the K&k has been consistent. If I can get to just slapping a K&k in my guitar and using an IR then I will be one happy musician! |
