I posted this in the main ToneX thread but noted after that not everyone checks every thread regularly-

The condensed version is after I poked at IK/ToneX a little bit as a result of me not staying up to date on their updates and reading shit on the internet without actually trying it myself (since it was updated), @IK Multimedia tossed the gauntlet in my direction and said "Here, if ya think it sucks so much, try it for yourself" (not a direct quote, it was actually a very kind offer when he didn't have to at all). And he didn't stop there, he's also offering up some capture packs for TGF members!

There's 2 camps I'd love see get hooked up-

If ToneX has been your thing since it was released and you love the platform and want to expand your cap collection, now's your chance!

And to those who are on the fence, specifically those who may have reservations about the software after reading posts on gear forums. This is a perfect opportunity to get some professionally made caps and check it out for yourself. It definitely sold me on it, pretty damn quickly, at that.

Really, the only thing I'd prefer not to see is someone snagging a free pack with the intent of shitting all over it.

The Metal Gods pack is up for offer right now.

We don't have unlimited packs to give away, so if high gain isn't your thing, maybe sit this round out until another pack better suited for ya gets offered up. You'll need the software to run them, but ToneX CS is free - https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/tonex/index.php?p=freesoftware

I figure we can find out who wants one and if it's more than the amount of packs Pete is offering, we'll figure out how to divy them up after. Pete/IK aren't asking for anything in return, but I do think it'd be nice to report back with a few words about your experience with it.

Personally, I've only been offered free gear once before in the 30 years I've been on guitar/gear forums (some Danelectro true bypass pedals to try before they hit the market) and think it's pretty badass that Pete is tossing these in our direction!
 
Hello there,
I've been using Tonex since a couple of weeks and am really enjoying it.
I bought 2-3 packs from IK ( mesa reference) and others like amalgam, and think it is a great sounding product.
I was on the fence getting the metal gem collection, but you know how it is... Family budget 😅
So ya, it would be great to be part of the test group and take it for a spin.
Thanks for the offer! 🤘
 
I'd be down to check this out and put up some clips and provide feedback. I've actually been pretty impressed with some of the captures I've tried in the CS version, but still a bit hesitant with captures due to the limited tweakability. From the demo there appears to be some great sounds in this pack:

 
Would love to try these! I love ToneX, but have found captures that I didn't do of my own amps to always have something I don't care much for. I've been hesitant to buy these packs because of it, but would love to have my mind changed.
 
Really decent gesture for sure, and I love my tonex og pedal. High Gain not really where I play though so I'll sit this round out and let them go to players who do play that.

If there's ever anything more vintage I'd be down though. Cheers.
 
Alright, lemme figure out how to divvy these up. I'll get a list started to put the interested members on it so when a new pack becomes available it'll carry over.

Thanks for the replies, guys!!! Very much appreciate you all stating your use cases/curiosities, this makes it a bit easier!
