The ToneDexter II is an innovative high-end preamp that improves the sound of an acoustic instrument pickup.
It can learn the difference between how an instrument sounds through a microphone and how it sounds through its pickup. Using the revolutionary WaveMap technology, it corrects the pickup so that it sounds like the microphone.
Key Features
- Simple to use Colour Display – The uncluttered & colour coded display makes it easy to control your settings.
- Built-in Tuner & Boost – There is a built in Tuner and a Boost switch for selecting extra gain for solos. You can EQ the sound and apply a notch filter to deal with any feedback issues.
- Connectivity – The ToneDexter II plugs into many different gear types, making it an essential piece of gear in your setup, to deliver your true tonal quality.
Playing
Plug your pickup into the ToneDexter II and the output to the PA or your acoustic instrument amp, select a WaveMap sound and play. Your live pickup sound will match your studio mic.
Studio Sound Combined with the Convenience of a Piezo Pickup
ToneDexter II restores the rich body tone of your acoustic instrument to the pickup using proprietary digital signal processing technology combined with a pristine analog signal path.
Once you have stored your mic sound into ToneDexter II, simply plug in your instrument and play.
