The ToneDexter II is a game-changer for acoustic players using piezo pickups. It convincingly recreates the warmth and body of a miked-up acoustic, giving you a natural, stage-ready tone. If you're tired of the brittle sound of piezo systems and want a truly professional acoustic amplified sound, this is worth serious consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Creating a WaveMap requires setting up a recording environment, capturing the guitar's sound through a microphone, and then importing that data into the ToneDexter – expect a few hours initially, but it becomes quicker with practice.
Absolutely; the WaveMap system is instrument-agnostic, so long as you can capture a good microphone signal – just create a WaveMap for each instrument you use.
Audio Sprockets has worked hard to minimize latency, and in most typical setups, it's imperceptible for live performance, though extremely sensitive players might notice a slight delay under specific conditions.
