Audio Sprockets ToneDexter II Acoustic Preamp

I was looking for a way to amplify my banjo rk-35 without a mic while keeping a natural accoustic sound. Bought a Schatten BJ02 and a pre-amp with eq, but did not manage to get a tone close to a natural banjo sound. I heard about the Tonedexter 2 and decided to give it a try. Now my banjo amplified sounds pretty close to the sound of the banjo amplified with a microphone.The pedal is easy to use and has tons of tweaking options. A good mic is important in creating the wavemap. I trier a couple of dynamic microphones like the sm57 without good success. The company producting the tonedexter recommends a condenser microphone with small diaphragm (or large diaphragm can also work) and that is what worked for me, thanks to a friend a I could borrow it from (Røde mic)
