WOW…..thank you for doing this, Keith! This is the definitive description of how to use the Tone Dexter, especially for banjo, which there was little information for….until now. i bought the original TD when it first came out and have experimented extensively both live and in the studio….with mic placement and type, playing styles, using picks vs. not, using guitar wave maps for banjo and vice versa…..even bringing a prerecorded multitracked studio recording directly in. Turns out i was largely wasting my time, but no regrets, that’s how you learn….it’s an awesome invention. One thing that would be nice is if there were pre-made wave maps available to download for various instruments….maybe in the future…i imagine folks would even be willing to pay a reasonable price to purchase these. The TD2 seems to solve many of the issues i was having with the original, so i just plunked out $659 for the TD2 and Tapdexter. i’m just praying the new and improved TD3 doesn’t come out next week!.….and i’m sure my kids will understand why they’re not getting the new Xbox for Christmas.
