Ampero 2 Stage allows the same or better inputs/functionality + much more for much less than 1300 $ - it's around 700$. It also can load acoustic IR's... It's about the same price as Tonedexter.

I've been using my TD II with my fiddle and mandolin for around a week now and am very happy with it. It will replace two LR Baggs Para DI's and two clean boost pedals as all is handled with the TD. The included option of blending with a mic and pickup (not using a WaveMap) is a nice option to have. I am using a Baggs bridge pu on fiddle and Baggs Radius pu on mando, thanks James!

These effects units are also good for synths and voice. I bought all three types without the pedal for some added spice. The best part of these pedals is that you have full control over tempo/bpm and can adjust on the fly on the computer. These units are great!

To me the Neumann sounds flat where the DPA has a brighter sound !

It's very hard to beat a 4099 on ANY instrument! I use them on my toms and they are amazing!

Perdí mi tiempo 😢

I’m considering something like this to go with my Taylor 214, primarily through to a DAW for recording. I was wondering if it’s really more for live than DAW recording use. Also I had sort of leaned towards the Nux Optima Air as there has been some good demos but I’ll definitely re-evaluate at this point.

I bought a small battery on Amazon for around $30 that should power the TD2 for at least 6 hours, so the power consumption issue isn't really an issue with the battery topic mentioned.

They talked about the difference between a 5 String Violin and a 5 String Viola but they should've recorded footage of that, hopefully they will do that one day.

Emailed you about possible tonemaps, hope to hear back 😊

Thanks, Jacob! Been looking forward to this.

This one took a while! Hope everyone enjoys

Do you think these Mics are too noisy for Studio work? 23 DPA seems very noisy. I'm into music like Alvin Lucier and Elaine radigue, very quiet delicate classical drone music. And stuff like taku sugimoto which has lots of Silence in the compositions I've been working on extended techniques with my ebow and acoustic guitar that can't be amplfied by normal guitar pickups i was hoping these mics would work but 23dba of self-noise seems too much. Does anyone have any experience with super quiet delicate music and these mics?

What a wonderful interview! I am an acoustic fingerstyle guitarist who just got the TD 2. This content is gold!

Wtf is this you didn’t play a note ???

I am curious about the one way, out of case humidification, the pack holder in contact with a nitrocellulose lacquer finish on instruments? Have yall tested this on Gibsons and Martin etc....?

this device is amazing. I just used it on a yamaha SLB 300, I modeled my real acoustic bass with a mic and then mix this with the slb pickup. Even the first attempt sounded WAY better than the build-in modelings from yamaha, at least in my opinion. Part of this is that the tonedexter has decent EQ-ing. The other key element is the ability to control the spaciousness. (no, I didn't know what this is either, but it is explained very well and the moment you turn this knob you get it). It turns out I like to remove or nearly remove the spaciousness from my amplified bass sound..it's just not what I am looking for when mixing in the microphone

Great stuff.. Can't wait to try it in my setup. LOVE the versatility with the Ins and Outs!

Ordering today can't wait to run my ns through it

I’m assuming I could run a stereo cable out of this system that has the end spit into 2 mono cables running into 2 inputs in my audio interface running into my ipad and blend it that way.

That is exciting. Is the new Lr Baggs Voiceprint vs ToneDexter II video coming out soon? hahah! How is your experience with th TDII so far? I was going to pull the trigger on the VPDI for acoustic guitar but the TDII looks like a beast and could save me space on my pedalboard!

On a live performance on the stage Dpa will be more safe.

Nice video over all. The two mics sound very similar to my ears on every video that I watch. The sound and editing of the voices was a bit irritating, though. Jacobs voice is way louder (sometimes slightly distorting?) than the other two and end of sentences got chopped of too early in a few instances.

Great info, thanks as always Jacob

Need part 2

Check out the ACS Live range of in-ears with the Ambient Processor pack - the combo seems very similar to this Sensaphonics system. I've never tried the Sensaphonics but I'm pretty damn happy with my ACS Live. It was a total game changer compared with on-stage monitors - for the first time ever I could hear the band/audience AND myself at the same time, so I completely agree with you that this is the way to go :)

Holay talk 20 minutes and say nothing .

Good test! Thank you! But I can't believe they , being in a studio, didn't monitor the sound during talking and uploaded the video without fixing the buzz😢

It truly is a breath of fresh air to see an honest review without all the BS. I think you 3 hit the nail on the head when you said it wasn't the same as using your favorite gear, but it does have it's uses. I have found that it really doesn't matter how much a person spends on effects, somewhere along the line it will have it's faults for different applications. Take for example a guitarist. If they are trying to play Hendrix, using a classical or flamenco guitar will not produce the desired effect. Even though the classical/flamenco guitar cost 10 times more than Hendrix's guitar, it will never sound like Hendrix. Same thing goes for trying to emulate Yo Yo Ma with a viola. Some of the multi effect units do some things great and other things not so great. It's just the nature of the beast. The Zoom pedal does however offer a beginner a starting point and maybe even a few useful bits and pieces for advanced players. Far from perfect, but the thought was there. My apologies for the rambling diatribe.

I don't have the TD2 yet, I have the TD1, but the first things I noticed are the mid control and the recallability of the settings. I'm doing acoustic guitar, irish bouzouki, and tenor banjo now all in the same concert so this will be great to get.

great vid! thank you . Explaination on spaciousness clarify a lot for me. TD is a swiis knife , option of blending with a mic will be awesome.

Im listening to all this right now :) Amazing stuff 👍🏾

Awesome :) 😎

I haven’t finished watching, but I’m just hearing about the midi features. I am wondering if midi control change is supported for the headphone out volume? That would be amazing because then an expression pedal could control the headphone volume without having to reach down to the tone Dexter unit. Still in development, consider this addition?

Wow, I’d love to A/B my fiddle w/ Icatha Strings pickup + Grace Bix preamp vs TD2 swapped in instead of the Bix.

Wow! This is incredibly exciting and everything I was hoping and looking for! Thank you so much Jacob for creating and sharing this valuable content, I trawled their official website and even user manual and couldn't find a fraction of the information in this video. You are doing the string world a great service here :)

I'm just gonna find a cash machine... Thanks James for creating this! You're really a genius. One nudnik question: can the effects loop be routed to the headphones?

Thank you for this great review. Are these violin presets also available in the Zoom A1 (without the volume pedal ans the X) ?

17:51 Demo

A1X FOUR, OR, G1Xfour 🙏🙏

Play the dam thing.

Great review, thanks for the effort you put into it

Спасибо! Я играю на саксофоне и просмотрел отличный обзор!!! Стою перед выбором: купить этот продукт или zoom v6-zp вокальный процессор. Все же , для живых выступлений, думаю вокальный процессор подойдет более, а этот процессор больше подходит для домашних упражнений. Буду думать... Спачибо за такое замечательное видео!

Thank you for this lucid and helpful video. I've watched many of your videos. As a beginner they can be over my head. But I learn something every time. Can you help me please? I'm looking for a small IR petal for electric cello that allows me to mix the raw and IR, some EQ and reverb. Basically, just trying to get a decent acoustic sound playing into my headphones. No amping. I learned from another video that not all IR's process the lower tones of the cello well. So I'm a bit worried about that. Thank you again. And keep those fantastic videos coming!

Toys

so many opinions and zero playing

Love the Imperial March with this. Now I know what to play once my A1X order arrives.

Great video, Jacob! Glad you're enjoying the IRs! Wanted to give you the heads up that we just released updates for our string IR library with 12 new instrument models, 10 microphones, and IRs tuned to specific pickups (like you mentioned wanting in the vid)! AND they're 20% off with code GEN4 🙌Let us know if you give 'em a try! ruclips.net/video/liwbhE2WrxE/видео.htmlsi=ZOOff6Q12YK8tj_g

Both are perfect.

The Neumann definitely sounds better (flatter, smoother, deeper lows) but that comes at the cost of a little more handling noise in the low end, which you might need to filter out. Overal I prefer the sound of the Neumann.
