Introducing ToneDexter II

ToneDexter II is an innovative professional grade preamp that uses proprietary WaveMap® technology, and sophisticated tone shaping controls, to correct a stringed instrument’s piezo pickup so that it sounds like a mic in a live and recording environment.

How ToneDexter II Makes Your Piezo Sound Great!

Ben Smith from Andertons Music in the UK takes a deep dive into ToneDexter II. Andertons, with over 1m YouTube subscribers, are well known for their informative and well produced videos.

“ToneDexter II absolutely blew my mind. Piezo pickups are generally quite disappointing and the ToneDexter II is a box that can fix that. I’ve used this a few times on gigs and it’s been brilliant.”

ToneDexter Videos

Josh Bennett shows how to train your ToneDexter II with Guitar, Mandolin and Violin. Doug Young dives into the Tone Shaping features of ToneDexer II for live stage performance.

Upgraded with three reverb voices

Looking to elevate your acoustic with a wider, more expansive sound? You’re in luck — ToneDexter II boasts built-in reverb with Plate, Hall, and Room settings to explore. Moreover, each of these reverb settings boasts two distinct voices to choose from, effectively granting you a grand total of six reverbs! Whether you’re after a subtle reflection or a cavernous echo, ToneDexter II has you covered.

V4 update

With a single click from the management tool, your ToneDexter II can be updated with the free V4 software upgrade. Among a trove of top-notch enhancements and additions, the main upgrades featured in the V4 update include transparent compression with smart one-knob control and a new IR training algorithm with higher resolution and sharper focus than previous iterations.

What’s new in version two?

With production of the original ToneDexter halted in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the innovative minds at Audio Sprockets sought to greatly enhance the design. What resulted was no mere minor update. In fact, ToneDexter II boasts many new features and improvements. First and foremost, it now includes a new color screen with context-sensitive controls and labels. Next, 10 more preset slots were added, bringing the total up to 32 preset slots that store and recall all parameters. You can also manage your presets via USB! The stereo-capable effects loop now comes with dedicated input and output jacks for further convenience. The final major update is the EQ, complete with a parametric mid boost/cut and a selection of highpass filters.

Meanwhile, by using Record/Playback Mode, you can record your instrument for up to 90 seconds and then play it back via a loop. This functionality is useful for making tone shaping or WaveMap adjustments while hearing just the PA or amp, without the direct sound radiating from your instrument. The mode works for single or dual source configurations, with full control of all parameters including blend during playback.

Make your signal come alive with WaveMaps

Piezo pickups get pretty close to the real thing. And with ToneDexter II’s WaveMaps, your signal can sound more natural than ever before. So, how do WaveMaps work? Simply connect your stringed instrument’s piezo output to the ToneDexter II’s 1/4-inch input. Then, plug your favorite studio microphone into the XLR input, mic up your instrument, and start playing. ToneDexter II automatically modulates the direct signal to best match the microphone signal. Once you’re satisfied your direct-in tone sounds perfectly natural, save your new custom WaveMap into one of the 32 user preset slots for later recall.
