Get Complete Control with ToneDexter V2 Software Update
Update to the latest version of V2 software here (called firmware as it resides in ToneDexter). New features and changes include:
- All new WaveMaps now include the complete miked sound (previously only WaveMaps created in slot 22, all others had automatic feedback suppression included in the WaveMap)
- The new ‘Notch’ control now features a variable mitigation filter that intelligently prevents feedback by reducing the resonant peaks
- Existing WaveMaps will continue to function as they always have
- Significant and noticeable improvements in the quality of the WaveMap produced. It is smoother and even more natural sounding

Impulse Responses for Acoustic Instruments
Aaron Short interviews James May
Audio Sprockets’ founder, James May, discusses Impulse Responses for acoustic and electric instruments, ToneDexter, live acoustic sound, and pickups with Aaron Short.

ToneDexter
ToneDexter®, from Audio Sprockets, is an amazing new pro preamp for acoustic guitar, violin, upright bass, mandolin and more, that restores the missing body sound to an instrument’s piezo pickup.
ToneDexter stores WaveMaps® of your studio mic sound that you can recall when using just your pickup. The WaveMaps transform the pickup signal so that it sounds like a mic—lush, resonant, and natural. You can store WaveMaps of different mic positions and different mics, for each of your instruments.

Paul Jacob Cartwright – “I can say with no exaggeration that the ToneDexter is the single most important purchase I’ve ever made for live acoustic amplification of my violin, guitar and mandolin.”
