Can’t beat the ToneDexter with the UltraTonic pickup. Both designed by James May (Mr. May also worked on the design and engineering for John Buscarino’s new Chameleon Amplification System, which is, hands down, the best amp and head I’ve heard. I sold all my old amps and got the new Buscarino amp and head. It’s incredible.
A few months ago, I drove up to Gold Country (Grass Valley in California) and had Mr. May install the UltraTonic pickup for my 8 string Brahms classical guitar. It works GREAT with the ToneDexter.
“
It sounds similar to the most popular sound board transducer, the K&K Pure Mini—a quite good sounding pickup. However, the Ultra Tonic does not suffer from the same low end tubbiness. It sounds clearer and crisper, with great articulation and perfect string-to-string balance. Compared to typical under saddle transducers, the warmth and natural attack characteristics of this pickup are very compelling.”
