Great review. One small point: the volume control does not affect the DI (XLR) output, only the jack out - so you can use it to control the volume of your backline amp without affecting the signal to the soundboard.
Great review, my brother. I normally play electric every Sunday but am leading with acoustic for a conference and wanted something to sweeten my Martin.
I've been looking for an all-in-one set up for my acoustic rig. All I need: DI, EQ, Compressor, Reverb, Tuner. Delay, Tremolo, Chorus, and Boost are bonus. The only thing this is missing is a tuner. Yes I could use a clip, but its hard to read live sometimes and doesn't mute. The other option is I can grab my Boss TU-3 off my electric board, but I hate constantly grabbing pedals from that to use for acoustic or bass. This might solve a lot of my needs for my acoustic needs though.
I just bought one of these for travel gigs and the need of a basic all-in-one for simple club gigs or join on stage scenario’s where it’s not practical to haul a full acoustic board. This does it all at 97%. My only wish is that it allows for rev and delay to be on at the same time. Even a set combo setting would work but the rev 2 and delay 1 kind of achieves this. All in all a great pedal. I’ve also used a Radial Tone bone and a LRB Tone Print DI and this pedal has many of the features on those other pedals and just sounds great
Well Done! If any viewers are trying to decide on whether to get the ToneDeq, it's a YES for me. I have the ToneDeq and it sound really nice. I have been trying to find a good complement pedal for more rounding out of the sound and have the LR Baggs EQ, which for me is best for cutting feedback (Notch Filter). How about the LR Baggs Venue DI? How does this complement the ToneDeq? I would really appreciate hearing your thoughts on this. Cheers!
Excellent review and I like the way you tied it into the KK pickups which some of my guitars have. Nice to Tremelo ( Crimson and Clover) making a come back !
I’ve got the Tonedeq, love it, but sometimes can’t get enough volume when playing with a band. Does using this in conjunction with the LR Baggs significantly increase the volume you can produce?
Glad to hear your guitar sound decent through this. There are two other demo's of the Tone Deq on TH-cam and both of their guitars sounded quacky. In fact one of them sounded exactly like a nylon string guitar which is the last thing I'd want from a Martin. So this video brings this unit back into consideration.
Venue is a life long pedal for me. I've used the ToneDEQ for a few months but it's big and a bit redundant with the venue. Venue and element is a powerful duo. Anthem is great too.
Why does Fishman put flanger and tremelo in this box but leaves out a tuner? Also you can’t use delay and reverb together. Bad design for acoustic players.
It's a great tool. But there´s no posibility to swap the effects, cos there´s only one knob controlling more than one effect option. This is very unhandy on stage.
What about the Zoom GX 1!! All the fun plus a built in tuner and Looper plus all the effects you could ever want plus built in expression/volume pedal for $110. Also built in drum tracks as well!!!
It comes with all kinds of presets from Jimi Hendrix to ozzy, Metallica Eddie, and much more. You can make up to 60 presets as well. All of drum Sims also have adjustable timing and bass accompanied as well. I think it has a total of 40 of those as well.
in all my years in music i've never been able to understand 'compression' or what it does. this guy explaining that it's 'magic' just adds to my consternation. i know and hear what reverb does. chorus, delay, eq controls. synth, octavizor, fuzz, distortion, tremolo, etc.! i understand all these and what they sound like. i DON'T know compression sounds like! it just doesn't penetrate. don't tell me it makes your guitar 'better', or 'bigger', or like magic! tell me what the f... it does! then maybe i can incorporate it's use.
Makes the little strings and the big strings the same volume to simply put it. Squeezes your sound. Just TH-cam it. The time it took you to type all that you could have figured it out lol.
I have gigged with my Fishman Tonedeq for 9 years. It has survived Texas heat and rain. It does everything I need to gig.

Hi... Does the Fishman tonedeq has built-in buffer. Planning to buy a tuner with buffer. What's your advise? Thanks in advance
Well done. What was the unit plugged into for this demo? What were we listening to?
Well Done! If any viewers are trying to decide on whether to get the ToneDeq, it's a YES for me. I have the ToneDeq and it sound really nice. I have been trying to find a good complement pedal for more rounding out of the sound and have the LR Baggs EQ, which for me is best for cutting feedback (Notch Filter).
How about the LR Baggs Venue DI? How does this complement the ToneDeq? I would really appreciate hearing your thoughts on this. Cheers!
I think that’s a good question! We all want to know how it complements LR Baggs Venue DI. I guess this dude stopped responding to comments?
Great video!
great review, thank you. please share your thoughts on using this with the LRB Venue or some other preamp. Is the chain, guitar, Venue, ToneDEQ?
Thanks for this vid!!! So great!
Excellent review and I like the way you tied it into the KK pickups which some of my guitars have. Nice to Tremelo ( Crimson and Clover) making a come back !
Great video, thanks!
What pickup are you using in that guitar? Sounds great!
I’ve got the Tonedeq, love it, but sometimes can’t get enough volume when playing with a band. Does using this in conjunction with the LR Baggs significantly increase the volume you can produce?
Great video, shame you didnt demo the compression sounds. Unless I missed it.
You missed it. He actually called the compression “magic”.
Does a pedal output a similar sound as the loudbox series if I were to connect it to my column array speaker system?
yes, this is essentially a loudbox artist in a pedal
Thanks for this review
How does it do with feedback? Have you had any issues?

In fact one of them sounded exactly like a nylon string guitar which is the last thing I'd want from a Martin. So this video brings this unit back into consideration.
The pickup going into it definitely matters. It can sound quacky with transducers and piezos.
Can you run the delay and reverb simultaneously or does it have to be one or the other?
It has to be one or the other
I borrowed a Venue DI from a friend, but I’ve been interested in the Tonedeq forever, what’s the one you kept? Venue with VTC pickup is ok
Venue is a life long pedal for me. I've used the ToneDEQ for a few months but it's big and a bit redundant with the venue.
Venue and element is a powerful duo. Anthem is great too.
@@JeremySheppard I ended up with LR Baggs Voiceprint into the Venue DI, looking at reverb pedals now, any good suggestions?
Why does Fishman put flanger and tremelo in this box but leaves out a tuner? Also you can’t use delay and reverb together. Bad design for acoustic players.
Good insight! If this had a tuner it would be genuinely useful. Delay and reverb would be awesome too.
What PickUp do you recommend for a D18 Jeremy? Fishman? They vary in price big time. Thx.
I prefer the LR Baggs element VTC or K&K pure mini.
@@JeremySheppard thx for feedback. Appreciate it
@@JeremySheppard Got the KK mini finally..thank you.
Did you ever do a review on the Fisman LoudBox mini?
I did, in the video called "the future of music is outside"
@@JeremySheppard thx
@@JeremySheppard think I saw that but not the mini?
great!!!
OK I'M IN
It's a great tool. But there´s no posibility to swap the effects, cos there´s only one knob controlling more than one effect option. This is very unhandy on stage.
Have you tried Zoom AC3?
I did! And I return it after couple days. I do not recommend it 👎
What about the Zoom GX 1!! All the fun plus a built in tuner and Looper plus all the effects you could ever want plus built in expression/volume pedal for $110. Also built in drum tracks as well!!!
Whaàat! Okay, I'm checking this out.
It comes with all kinds of presets from Jimi Hendrix to ozzy, Metallica Eddie, and much more. You can make up to 60 presets as well. All of drum Sims also have adjustable timing and bass accompanied as well. I think it has a total of 40 of those as well.
It also has stereo outputs built in as well!!! I forgot about the 30 second looper as well.
Dave Simpson from England has a gx2 zoom that's been a regular part of his pedal board for the past 7 years years at least or more.
@@robertlathan4639 that Zoom its not dialed-in for acoustic guitar. made for electric guitar
you forgot to demo delay why
👍🏿🤘
I've thought it was pronounced "Tone-Deck" all this time; now I don't know what to believe!
I have no clue, haha
@@JeremySheppard yes, "tone-deck"
does this go into your LR Baggs Venue then to FOH?
Yes.
According to Greg Koch and fishman it's tone-DECK
I learned that after filming this. 😂
@@JeremySheppard right on, I just ordered one, thanks!
Is there any fishman products that aren’t amazing? The answer is no!

It makes all of the frequencies of your guitar the same volume. It's really hard to hear until it's too much and it seems choked out
