IK Multimedia Tone X One?

[Mongillo19]

People love to hate Black Angus, but it takes pedals well and maybe the problem isn't the Tone Model after all? See below (skip to 1:48 if the link doesn't put you right there) where Giacomo Castellano has no problem using it:

Did you listen to the issue at all or?

Maybe this is a microcosm as to the perceived issues IK faces with its consumer base

The irony here, and what @Mongillo19 touched on, is that if you listen to the issue and then listen on, the guy actually compliments the Black Angus and the way it sounds wasn’t the issue at all.

HAHAHAHA this is the best, the irony! I would recommend you to go and listen to the 32:10 mark as stated above!

in this context I’d say it’s a bad (IMO) tone that sounds somewhat interesting because of the playing. You could run that DI through basically anything and it would sound interesting I think. Maybe even parts like that benefit from a weirder more distinctive tone?

I don’t like the tone though, and I don’t play or record guitar parts like that. For someone else it might be perfect.

Aside from that post totally missing the mark on what the actual issue above was, I think the problem with Black Angus isn’t so much that it’s a bad tone (tone is subjective and context dependent) but more that:

- it just happens to be the first tone in the list, and whenever someone loses their specific setting, this just happens to be the one they get. Any unexpected tone is probably going to sound wrong
- it’s a Marshall with Angus in the name, so people will think “oh, this’ll sound like AC/DC”. So you play AC/DC style stuff and it doesn’t sound good. It’s kind of like having a Randy Rhodes inspired tone and then called it “AAAAAARON AAAAARDVARK plays John Mayer Clean tone”. In the right context it could sound cool, but the name puts an expectation in peoples minds, and any preset that comes first by default is going to get more attention. Probably safer to have some kind of a generic clean tone as the default than something that requires a style of playing like that to make sense.

The post is the most beautifully textbook response of reacting defensively and confrontationally without caring to understand the actual issue in the discussion. So often an IK response to any issue or bug report being “nope, you’re just using it wrong”.

Does any non influencer have one of these? I'm starting to think they're vaporware

 

[Enchilada Jones]

I have one but I grew up being told I’m a bad influence.
It sounds as good as the big TONEX pedal, as good as the TONEX App but they all suffer from the same poor software design handicap.

Weird, guitar center won't ship these to hawaii or the hawaii store. We often have problems of GC for shipping used electronics, but not new

 

[texhex]

If you save a preset and name it “My Preset” it will always load that one first as the default and not the Black Angus.

 

[pipelineaudio]

Ouch, after paying, guitar center just cancelled my order two days later and told me they can't ship to hawaii at all. Funny, they ship me stuff all the time

In German, there's a saying that means "complete waste of time" or "fail".

Translated literally, it goes "a grab into the toilet".

I wasn't addressing a technical issue, I was addressing the fun people have poking at Black Angus which is pretty much exactly what I stated.

Any issues can be addressed by our support team, and if you have a ticket number of any issue you don't feel is being addressed properly I can escalate it but we're not going to provide direct tech support on a third party forum nor is there going to be a roadmap of feature requests managed here but I relay whatever seems to be more generalized (basically feature requests that might not be support issues though GUI FRs can sometimes be put into that box if it helps get some eyeballs on the benefits of changing/updating/fixing).

That's all, it wasn't meant to be some deep analysis/answer nor addressing any specific issues except the BlAcK AnGUs bAd that seems to be a fun topic but not that it comes up automatically, I do understand that it would be great to have a choice of what preset/TM shows up by default that that has been expressed to the team.

Good idea. I love when company reps gloss over the actual issue at hand and instead try to clown their users.

And even then nobody here was making fun of the preset? It was simply because that's the first preset that pops up on your janky software.

Yep, how dare anyone have fun with a Tonex in any fashion. Thanks for trying to put a stop to that here too, much like the UI does with the device.

Seriously though, you guys have an absolutely awesome product with incredibly inept software. Everyone is giving IK this feedback from all angles. This should be a fun product, but it’s poorly executed.
