Audio Sprockets Tone Dexter £300 Harrow

[Happy Jack]

Happy Jack's Great Exotic Sale continues with this quite remarkable pedal. How to describe what it does?

That review is for the original ToneDexter which is what I am selling.

 

 

Original packaging, power supply & manual, as you can see.

 

 

By its very nature, this isn't a pedal that gets chucked into gig bags and knocked about at gigs, so this is in pristine condition.

 

 

If there's a mark on it, then I can't find it.

 

 

Smaller than you'd think, too.

 

 

You can't buy these new any more, but the V2 replacement is this one:

I used this a lot when I was gigging a Zeller ply bass and a Kolstein Busetto, both of those with utterly gorgeous tone, alongside my custom-built Ali-Kat aluminium bass ... which looks astonishing but can't even begin to compete on tone.

 

These days, I no longer actually own a traditional DB of any sort () so the ToneDexter is getting very little use.

Mmmm......

 

Did you use this to get your Zeller and Kolstein to sound more like their acoustic selves when amplified, or to make your Ali-Kat sound more like the other two?

The latter ... the AliKat looks just great but didn't sound anything like on a par with either of my 'true' DBs at the time, so I created patches (not the right word, but I can't remember how they describe them) for the AliKat based on each of the two good-sounding DBs.

 

Obviously I could have done the former as well, but it made life simpler for @Silvia Bluejay on sound engineering duty if I left those basses alone and let her do the tweaking at the PA ... we put the whole band through the PA at every gig,
