ToneDexter is the new preamp for acoustic guitar, mandolin, violin, upright bass, and more that restores the missing body sound to an instrument’s ordinary piezo pickup.

Play for just a minute with both a mic and your pickup plugged in while ToneDexter learns the difference between your pickup sound and the mic sound. Then, put the mic away and smile! Say goodbye to that quacky, artificial, poorly balanced tone and say hello to your instrument’s true voice, only louder!
