Pickup Guidance FAQs

This Guidance applies to the original legacy ToneDexter and the new ToneDexter II

Please check out the User Guide for detailed info on how to use ToneDexter.

ToneDexter only works as intended with piezo pickups (all types and mounting locations). Magnetic pickups will sometimes give pleasing results, but they won’t sound nearly as natural as with a piezo.

Creating your own set of WaveMaps is essential to get a great sound with your full-bodied acoustic instrument, and ToneDexter makes that very easy to do. However, in cases of solid body instruments that don’t have much sound of their own, such as the Yamaha SLG200 silent guitar and Solid Body Electric Violins, we offer some pre-made WaveMaps that were created on good sounding acoustic instruments.

It is also possible to modify the tonal balance of your own custom WaveMaps by recording and playing back tracks from a DAW.

Mandolin Pickup Guidance

Category: Mandolin Pickups

Mandolin pickups come in two basic types: integrated bridge transducers, and sound board transducers (SBTs). SBT’s can be mounted on top, usually with adhesive putty, or glued to the inside.The piezo material can be either crystal or film. All of the above work well with ToneDexter.

Maximum feedback immunity will be achieved with a bridge transducer, but the added benefit may be minimal compared to an SBT when using ToneDexter, since it has feedback mitigation built into the WaveMaps.
