It's kind of unfair to admit straight away that it was a 10 minute tire-kicking session, and then to expound at all. Not that that will stop me...Expound on said socks not being knocked off. lol How’s the interface and the toanez.
I’m not expecting much from an iPad rig, this is as much curiosity as anything.
It just didn't feel great IMO. After all the "slightly more accurate than QC/ significantly more accurate than a Kemper/ slightly smaller than a breadbox" posts, my expectations were high. Perhaps unrealistically so. I'd just done a round of HX 3.5 a few nights prior, and came away thinking I should stay in the QC lane - it just feels more fun to play, faster. I was hoping ToneX would deliver something similar, because my QC can't be in the 3 places I want it to be at the same time (nor can I afford 2 more of them.) But after clicking through a few amps at random and playing a bit, I wasn't really inspired to continue. I'm sure it gets better - this was just my very immediate impression, per my guitar-in-stolen-moments dad schedule.
The interface is fine, I guess, but oddly, a bit sluggish on my Windows machine. (Just occurred to me it was probably in some whimpy power saving mode by default - I'll need to revisit in the "can't hear anything over the fan" performance mode. Just messing around on my phone here at work, the iOS UI seems much smoother.) And the "please don't sue us" capture names are a little difficult to parse. First world problems.
Signing away my first born to FMIC just for the privilege of keeping my socks on, ew. IK has always been a minor nightmare of virtual bureaucracy.
