Question 1

Can I use ToneDexter for Silent or Solid Body Instruments?

Andrew Wild · Accepted Answer

Yes. Since this category of instrument, by definition, does not have a sound of its own, you can't create a WaveMap with it. However, you can use WaveMaps created on other full-bodied acoustic instruments. Most likely you'll need to make EQ adjustments to compensate for differences in the pickups, but that is easy and straightforward. Once you have the sound to your liking, the parameters adjustments will automatically remain with the WaveMap.

Alternately you can bake this altered WaveMap into a new WaveMap which incorporates any EQ, Feedback, and Spaciousness adjustments into a new underlying IR, and resets all the adjustment parameters to zero. The advantage of this approach is that you can now adjust the parameters based on the venue and sound system, knowing that the adjustments used to correct for the difference in pickups are disentangled and now baked in.
