The ToneDexter II is an innovative high-end preamp that improves the sound of an acoustic instrument pickup.

It can learn the difference between how an instrument sounds through a microphone and how it sounds through its pickup. Using the revolutionary WaveMap technology, it corrects the pickup so that it sounds like the microphone.

Key Features

  • Simple to use Colour Display – The uncluttered & colour coded display makes it easy to control your settings.
  • Built-in Tuner & Boost – There is a built in Tuner and a Boost switch for selecting extra gain for solos. You can EQ the sound and apply a notch filter to deal with any feedback issues.
  • Connectivity – The ToneDexter II plugs into many different gear types, making it an essential piece of gear in your setup, to deliver your true tonal quality.

Playing

Plug your pickup into the ToneDexter II and the output to the PA or your acoustic instrument amp, select a WaveMap sound and play. Your live pickup sound will match your studio mic.

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.

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

More info about this Product

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Preamp Pedals

Preamp pedals are designed to shape and boost a guitar’s core tone, often acting as the front end of an amplifier or as a complete amp-style sound on a pedalboard. They can add clean gain, warmth, EQ control, or amp-like drive, and are commonly used to improve signal strength, push an amp harder, or run directly into a power amp or recording interface. Understanding output level, EQ controls and how they interact with other pedals helps players use preamp pedals effectively in both live and studio setups.

preamp

A preamp is a stage in the signal chain that boosts the guitar’s signal and shapes its core tone before it reaches the power amp or recording interface. Preamp pedals and units can add gain, EQ, and character, helping define clarity, warmth, and drive while forming the foundation of a player’s overall sound.
