PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO, BIG UPDATE: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eN9lqKt11d7FdZc.html

Great Video! That was an exact problem I was having(over all volume). Would really appreciate it if you could do a video where you start from the very beginning of getting the pedal, how to use it as your interface and how to incorporate Tone net and Amplitude 5 with it. Thanks!

I want to say thanks to you for these videos. I was about to return my unit because I just wasn’t getting the results that I wanted. Your videos have cleared up a lot of confusion for me. This unit does indeed sound great with the right tweaks.

Thanks for these videos on the Tonex pedals. Would you be able to do a video on the connections, including connecting it to an amp? It would make your series complete, just my thoughts. Thanks again Jason.

Thanks Jason for the detailed explanation of the volume parameters! I was trying to figure out how to even out the volumes of the presets in my library and now finally understood from your explanation what the manual was saying. 🙏

This is great! Seemed like my higher gain patches were all mush on the bottom end and noisy.. dialed it back to the suggested -10/-12 dB… magic!

Thanks, very informative. Like and subscribed.

Great Video! Very helpful. I might also recommend maybe doing a video on how to load your purchased presets. From download, what files to store them. The entire process. I read A lot of people are confused. You are the best for this task as you really explain it thoroughly and your video’s are really the best on KZfaq. I personally have recommended you Chanel to several of my friends. Killer guitar playing. Thank You.

I was about to sell/return my unit until you showed the parameter function. All of those things i searched for under settings. I thought those were only available on the computer software and that ToneX software is ass x1000. A quick pop into those and got complete balance in tone. Thank you so much

Thanks man. Yeah, the trim is definitely key to get the best out of Tonex.

I was ready to get rid of Tonex. Your expertise has helped immensely. Thank you.

Hi Jason. So are you saying that for "most purposes" we need to keep the volume on the Tonex Pedal Maxed out to 10 (as a global setting) and then adjust all presets from there? Just subbed & Thanks for what you do!

So in essence, if using the tonex pedal as your audio input via usb to feed the software (via channel 2), there is no need to tweak the trim, as it will be the same when playing through the software or the standalone pedal

Hi Jason - thanks so much for all of your great information and support! My Tonex pedal is being run into a Line 6 Power Cab plus 112. The output is very bass heavy to the point of not being useable. Not sure if it is the pedal or the FRFR. Has anyone else experienced this? I have tried tweaking the EQ on the pedal and the FRFR. Ideas? Thanks!

great Video thx! have the relatively bass heavy headrush 108 frfr speaker. can I set the overall bass parameter in the global settings for all tone models? or is there another solution to lower the bass in all models? thank you very much 😉

hi!!!!! can you please make a video on how to change presets in the tonex pedal with the Quad Cortex.

Hi, Can anyone please advise me; Can you edit a patch in the library, on the computer, or can it only be done on the unit? What I mean is, can you edit in library the same way you can do it in player? Or, can you put patches in the library into player so you can edit them? Thanks in anticipation. :)

I've tried messing with input trim and volume, I've swapped cables, I've tried everything I can think of. My Tonex still sounds awful. I'm either going to sell it or send it back to Sweetwater.

Thanks for doing this, your knowledge is appreciated. Is the double guitar an overdub or an effects pedal? Thanks.

I got my ToneX Pedal yesterday and to be honest, i'm still trying to understand how to get things done correctly. What it means is, that it makes a huge difference how you connect your interface to a specific device. What i have learned so far is, that you can connect it via USB directly to your MAC or PC or via 1/4 inch cable into your audio device, you can even let USB and 1/4 inch connected, but then you have to understand which input / output you select in the ToneX software and/or your DAW. Since there are multiple choices it makes it a bit hard (at least for me) to get the results - in terms of good quality sound, whatever preset i select - in an acceptable way. For the time being i'm doing learning by error and take notes what sounded good and what sounded bad. Especially when i play thru the ToneX Pedal into my Apollo x8 the ToneX "Clean Presets" sound way too quite and on the other hand all the "Driven Presets" sound way too loud. I adjusted the TRIM IN, i tried different settings with the VOLUME on the unit, i tried settings with the MAIN VOL.....but the result is - for the moment - not really satisfying or in other terms it's not really "plug and play" - therefore i really can understand that a lot of people are a bit frustrated with the unit at the beginning cause they can't achieve the sounds they would like to hear. Especially when recording into my DAW i'd like that things work easy and fast, without thinking, just grab the guitar, start the daw, select a sound and get my ideas recorded in a quality that is the same all the time. Am i frustrated now? No, not at all, cause i suppose there is a certain learning curve, but i'd wish there was a video out there showing the different ways of using the ToneX Pedal together with the ToneX Software AND - most important - how and in which way the unit is connected to an Audio Interface or PC/MAC and which settings have to be taken into consideration on the Pedal and within the software. @Jason: Many thanks for your work, it helped me a lot, but as you see - im still struggling (and maybe others too). Keep on going you are doing a great job! Cheers!

I haven't bought the pedal yet but there is something which I think will be an issue and I've not seen it discussed. Because the Tonex doesn't have a send and return socket, if you want to use perhaps a chorus and delay guitar pedal you will probably mean you have to turn the output of the Tonex down so it won't overload the external pedals. That means the lower output from the guitar pedals won't drive a power amp (or some fx returns) properly; you will get reduced volume. I have had this happen with a Hughes & Kettner Tubeman, I had to turn it down so I could use pedals but then it wouldn't drive my power amp properly. The only answer would be an additional preamp at the end of the chain to lift the level back up, but I haven't found anything suitable yet. I have seen it said that the lack of a send and return isn't an issue but I think if you consider the above it really is a problem.

Hi, how can I change the parameters in real time in Tonex pedal software. I tried in tonenet, but I can’t hear anything. I have to change parameters, download the preset, copy it to librarian and then listen to it. There has to be an easier way. Also when I have my librarian on, the presets at the bottom of the app can’t be heard, why? Thanks

I am finding it frustrating that there seems to be an overtone coming through> I can stop it with the noise gate but it is there and doesn't seem to be on the videos I'm seeing in> Not sure how to sort this

Is there any way to swap out the CPU in the pedal? I'm getting really laggy latency.

The video helped dial out some really flubby bottom end.

I could really use a video on a live set up. I have the Tonex pedal running into a few headrush frfr 108’s, but it’s meh….Katana? Straight into board? Any help would be great!

If im using just the software and not the pedal are you saying that the sounds I'm hearing through software are more true to the way the preset is supposed to sound? The software doesn't have all the extra submenus that the pedal has. Would've been nice if all the submenus of the pedal could be adjusted in real time through the software

regarding the input trim, I have less gain than in any demo of the models I've got even when the trim is set to 0.

I plug this into my scarlett 2i2 and the tones don’t sound this good.. its either super thin, the latency is crazy … idk what im doing wrong. Sometimes it has way too much bass even if i dial it to 0. I changed the chord i was using amd or fixed the static cutouts when using ASIO in the plugin and the pedal connected. Idk…when i hit the switch on a preset i assume is like a boost it gets super squealing and feedbacky

It would be great to have some kind of instruction on how to hook this up to the Helix. No, that's not a dumb question. Try it and you'll see that it loses a lot of oomph when you do. I have the UA Dream 65 hooked up to the Helix and pipe the helix fx pedals thru it and it sounds fantastic. Now I want to do the same thing with the Tonex without sacrificing its tone. Should I have for example, used an FX Loop regardless of the fact that it isn't stereo in? I chose send on 3 and return on 3/4 Should I make any trim settings? Do I have to apply eq to get that girth back? I A/B'd it with sending signal directly to the board and the difference is very noticeable. Also would like to know where to put the fx loop in the signal chain. Since you have both units I figured you would know. : )

Wow!

Anyone noticing extremely high noise with the higher gain?

Do you know how I can adjust the headphones out... seems too quiet

hi, is anyone having trouble connecting to ToneNET? I enter toneNet through Tonex and I can't download the captures. Greetings from Brazil

I'm struggling a 'bit' with using the pedal with Logic Pro (I suspect my question applies to any DAW). Is there a way to connect the pedal to my computer via USB (the "in") and then have the output from Logic go to another interface (the one with my monitors connected, and with mic pres)? I get sound ... but it has lots of high pitched noise, the occasional period of silence, and this random beep. Once I have that ... definitely going to deep dive into your excellent instructions! Stuck in first gear though. :(

If I have the ToneX in the loop of the helix, would it be the same to reduce the send level as if I lower the input trim?

Have you tried the Trim In control on different guitars? Do they all seem to need adjusting?

every modeler I owned I always go for the fender twin as my go to amp and I judge the modeler on that amp.helix lt stomp podgo headrush mx5 and nux amp academy all sound good to me but Im not sure why but tonex sounds muffled not clear.I hope its me but im using the same speakers iused for everything i mentioned and they all sounded imo good. Help!!!

If I use the tonex pedal with the software I have a problem...If I play sounds from software the pedal is still playing the sound stored from the pedal..hope that make sense...I have 2 Sound Sources playing and that obviously sounds bad..The pedal is set to interface but it still plays the sound from the pedal..how can I change that?

I just get de TONEX but something is weird, is too noisy like induction but when the usb cable is plugged the noise disappears, suggestions?

When I pull up tonex it's just pure fizz even when switching to clean sounds any clue why?

Wow. It’s amazing how many issues people are having with this pedal.

what volume controle the headphone out?

Input trim: I’m running my tonex pedal through an fx loop on Helix Floor. Am I better served to use the trim on the tonex or adjust the send/return levels on the fx loop block on the helix? Is there a difference? What would he considered the best practice here?

nice video. My issue is that I dial the trim input to my guitar to some presets and then other presets still sound different between software and pedal . This means that it would be needed a trim setting per preset if you really want to have the pedal sounding like the software once you find a preset or tone model in the software that you like. I actually asked in the ikmultimedia forum yesterday about this but I got no replies yet.

I think all the daw type software are not sweetable
