Tonedexter and Taylor’s current expression system
How well does the current version of Taylor’s pickup work with the Tonedexter pedal? I’m planning to get a Tonedexter and I’m also shopping for a new guitar. Thanks!

My wife has a GS Mini with ES2. It works pretty well.
Even though the guitar punches above it's weight in a very usable sound, I have found it is tough to capture it well with a mic - therefore limiting a bit the quality we've been able to get (so far). I imagine a full size Taylor should sound quite good.

The ES2 is pretty decent *for a pre-installed system* but I would never install one on my own.

The ES2 works very well with a ToneDexter. I've got Taylors with ES2 and I've got a ToneDexter. Frankly, the ES2, IMHO, is about the best factory-installed system available and doesn't need support from external signal processors.

Tonedexter seems to work very well with soundboard transducers in general I bet Taylor's es1 and es2 would be no different. The only pickups I personally never had success with tonedexter was the Anthem SL and a Barbera Soloist. Tonedexter is an awesome preamp to own.

I don't remember exactly which thread this was in, but I do remember very clearly that James May (one of the developers of ToneDexter) said that he'd tested it thoroughly with the ES2, and it worked very well.
