How ToneDexter Works
Training

Start by plugging in both a mic and your pickup into ToneDexter. Play your instrument for two minutes while ToneDexter builds a WaveMap to make your pickup sound like your mic. Then store the sound into one of 22 WaveMap locations in ToneDexter. Once you have it, you no longer need the mic.

You can store WaveMaps of different mic positions to give you a selection of sounds when you play.
