ToneDexter II Features Video from  Sweetwater

Check out the new video from Sweetwater showing the main features of ToneDexter II.

Sophisticated Tone Shaping

ToneDexter II makes a piezo pickup sound like a studio mic plus it has serious tone shaping and anti-feedback controls so you can modify your instrument’s ToneDexter mic sound to optimise it for live performance. Doug Young explains some of ToneDexter II’s tone shaping features.

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.

Audio Sprockets has created a way to learn the difference between the sound coming from the pickup, and the sound coming from a microphone, placed in front of the instrument, and use that information to create a transformation called a WaveMap.

Once you have stored your mic sound into ToneDexter II, simply plug in your instrument and play.

ToneDexter II works with guitar, violin, mandolin, dobro, banjo, upright bass, and most other acoustic stringed instruments.
