You guys tried this? I'm mixing a song where the guy played DI...thought I'd demo this to see what it sounded like - and I'm pretty flabbergasted. Really convincing Acoustic sim. You can change from small body to large body. Might pick this one up when it's on sale.

It sounded cool and convincing, not a bad effect to have. |

No but it worked when I tried it on a DI guitar

What it does is obvious when it does it - as you say, very convincing. Quite acceptable for DI acoustic guitar. FWIW, it will do some interesting things with other instruments as well.

As a test I recently recorded a Zematis AQ with a KM 256, and it's di out.
Tried to match as close as possible the WoodWorks plug to sound like the mic,
But I never could get it to sound close.
Maybe because it was a direct comparison, I wasn't happy at all.
Then did this test again on 4 different acoustics, and di signals.
Same results.
I gave up!

I’m not saying it’s a replacement for recording with a mic, just saying it’s the best result I’ve heard when being stuck with one that was recorded DI. Btw - when are you going to sell me a couple of those Helios modules?  |

I tried it for the first time on a live record I was sent to mix. Most of the settings sounded worse but I found one that sounded pretty good...at least better than the typical piezo sound (Jumbo 1 I think). I also thinking just used the neck or the body knob and not both makes it sound less phasey.
In this regard, where there isn't a microphone option, I'm glad I tried it. Don't think I'd buy it unless getting DI acoustic tracks with no microphone becomes more common.

One guy said he used it on a vocal! And it was very interesting...you never know. Interesting as it sounded like Sh- -! I guess we’ll never know until someone tries it and lets us know. Lol

It's definitely not a replacement for a well- miced track, but it works for helping repair a poor di track

I’ve used it for mixing live concerts. Better than a straight bad acoustic DI sound, but wish there was something more convincing out there. I’ve read guitarist John Jorgenson rave about this box he uses when performing live and also has used it while mixing a live album with only acoustic di’s. I’d be curious to hear it in that application audiosprockets.com/tonedexter/ |

I've helped a couple artist make Tone Dexter profiles in the studio to use live. They sound pretty good. If I was a touring musican and my acoustic guitar was a focal point but played in a band where it was difficult to use a mic on stage, I'd pick one up.
