It took me some time to browse the tone net models and learn how to set properly the gain and compressor, but after that, oh boy what an amazing piece of gear.

Allow me to say that your captures are the best in the entire tonenet site. The fact that you caputre the head with the load box gives us the flexibility to load our IR or try the integrated VIR (those aren't bad at all). I would love to have clean, drive, hi gain for every head. Have you ever thought of selling your captures? I would buy them like instantly. I'm having a lot of fun with the JCM800, Orange Jim Root Terror and the Mesa...they sound so real! Consider selling your captures because your work on those is golden! Thank you, Jon.

The ToneX looks and sounds like a fantastic piece of gear. Thanks for specifically mentioning that it can be used to model Pedals as well. No need to take expensive, hard to find/replace boutique Pedals to a gig. 👍 The ToneX sounded a little brighter, clearer, with a little less bottom end than the real Amp. I suspect that any difference could be easily dialed in to match using the handy ToneX knob controls. The ToneX is a pedal, platform, and solution that I'm definitely considering purchasing. I'd like to see more videos on how it could be used when combined with a Modeler like the HX Stomp. 🤔 Excellent demo as always! Thanks 😎

Hey man. I'm so glad I came across this video, LOVED IT and subscribed to your channel. I'll go watch other videos now. Fantastic review of the TONEX pedal, very helpful and simple to understand! I actually ordered it and can't wait for it to arrive. Hey, one thing was a bit complicated for me to understand is how you use this pedal in your recording tracks? You talked about using Fractal and DIs (both I'm unfamiliar with) and somehow replace the actual amps with this pedal. Can you please make a video showing exactly that, how you use this pedal in conjunction with your other devices and DAW to record tracks while choosing your own captured tones from the TONEX pedal? I'll MUCH appreciate it if you can do that, also didn't find another youtube video showing that. Again, great video. I'll go watch lots of your previous videos now.

It would be nice to have the iPad connected to power during a live performance, just to be safe, but the interface will take up that slot.

@TheJeffcurran Жыл бұрын

I'm not crapping on this. I've been into this stuff since I bought a POD 1.0 back in 1998. This is an amazing device/software. I honestly can't hear the difference on the recordings. As for how it "feels"? Nothing feels like a 100 watt head going into a 4x12 cab. The "feel" affects the way I play. I'm most inspired when the vibration of my speaker cabinet starts to vibrate the body of my guitar and the symbiosis starts kicking in. I still have a POD XT-Live under my desk. There's also a Fractal Audio X-Load connected to all of my amp heads. And there's an Atomic Ampli-Firebox (for impulse responses) within 12 inches of my keyboard. But the thing for me is that none of this gear inspires me to play. I need that symbiosis for inspiration. Where I live, that's not an option. Call me old school. I miss the real deal. An interesting product just the same and hats off to IK. But how many captures would you need to model all of the controls on the ENGL behind your right shoulder? 5 knobs can't replace 20. I'd rather just turn around and twist a knob over cycling through 50 presets of a single amp head.

@jmproductions59 Ай бұрын

Sure, but most of us can't play/practice/record at 90dB. For recording, there is the extra issue of recording the amp to satisfaction. The ToneX seems to be potentially inspiring to play. If we can't do symbiotic real amps at a level where they really shine, what other options do we have?

@davidwoods358 Жыл бұрын

It's very reasonably priced, has a lot to offer and sounds incredible. I think these are going to be popping up everywhere music is played, practiced and or recorded. Even without a decent amp to tone model I see no reason not to own one. A bit bummed that there's no effects loop but the on board reverb is a great addition.

That sounds super close! Can still hear the differences in both examples. But like at this point its close enough where its not worth worrying about it! I'd be interested to hear how it compares to the other capture solutions on the market. As always sick riffs and tones!

Excellent vids on the Tonex. And giving tone models away that sound this good? Class act mr. Symons!

The ToneX model sounded slightly more compressed, with less bottom end and a bit more upper mids. But yeah, they were damn close.

I also notice the lack of bottom end especially in palm mutes

As much as I want to love the digital stuff for convenience, this is the reason tube amps and real guitar speakers in real cabs are never beaten. Digital sounds smaller and flatter, also because of IR-stuff. Its never as inspiring to play through as a real rig. Really impressive tech though!

@@JustinLesamiz ah well count me in. i totally second his take on the current stage of digital amp modeling and IRs. they keep getting better and better and never cease to impress but not quite there yet. a piping hot tube stacked with a cab is a whole experience.

@ludvanlazarz Жыл бұрын

@@JustinLesamiz have you compared the difference? I compared using the Suhr Reactive Load IR with real heads, playing through a bunch of professional IRs (ownhammer included) in FRFR and monitors, and then plugged in the real cab in the same head. Try this and tell me how much better the real cab sounds. There is no contest what so ever

Thanks! Any idea of the Quality of this pedal ? Where it’s built and is it with quality components?

@sexyguitarboy69 Жыл бұрын

Cosmetically it reminds me of the Eventide floor effects pedals. Soundwise this thing is absolutely stunning, but the amber 7-segment display looks a bit outdated.

So I’m guessing B is the pedal and I definitely preferred that in the blind test! Thought it was the tube amp. Is there really a point in getting this pedal if you already have the software on my PC and only play at home?

@omarsharif927 Жыл бұрын

Sounds amazing perfect for a live rig if only had some other effects like delay etc. Great price to unlike the quad cortex

This was a truly excellent demo/review. I did a bourbon-induced order of one last night after watching this video.

@Sonic Drive Studio lol I will be buying this next week. Need a great sounding and versatile amp for recording. Bouncing between an H&K Grandmeister Deluxe 40, a Kemper Studio, a Laney, and think I've decided on the Tonex/Amplitude. Gonna study a bit more so I don't misstep...again

Sounds killer, but no FX loop? Guess you could combo it with something like an HX effects or HX Stomp and use their loop to make a great small rig.

Hello John, thx for this review. Your orange tone is huge what ir did you use? For me there is a big thing missing in your vid and in all the review out there exept the Kyle one, and thats make me worry about this product. As we already own tonex software the tonex stomp wont give us anything more than we already have,exept the more portable thing. The real deal is the live situation. Some ppl maybe like to play direct trought the PA. But man, we need to hear this thing trought an affordable power amp and a 4x12. That will be the game changer, tonex app already did the rest. Hope more review will come in a live situation and not trought a 2000 buck power amp section.
