How about Tonex into its own cabs in a side by side?Tried this vs Axe-Fx 3 models. Not scientific or anything. I ran the ToneX without cab sims to Axe-Fx 3 cab block so I could easily use scenes to swap between amp model vs ToneX app with the same cab sim.
I think soundwise ToneX can get close, but I feel Fractal reacts better to picking dynamics and rolling the guitar volume down. Especially with any tone models which have a baked in drive pedal, the equivalent setup on Fractal just cleaned way better.
Now this might be just an issue with gain staging from Axe-Fx 3 to ToneX or just a difference in the way the models are setup because the details in ToneX models are extremely sparse even for IK's own models so I had to dial by ear.
But I mean the software or the pedal costs a fraction of even the cheapest Fractal unit so there's a lot of appeal in that.
I still don't love the "find the profiles you like" approach compared to "pick an amp model and dial it to your liking".
I should try it at some point but at least for the tone models I have on the free version I feel every time I used the cabs in the capture it sounded worse than using the York Audio IRs I have loaded on the Axe-Fx 3. Maybe it's just a sound preference or again a gain staging/output volume thing.How about Tonex into its own cabs in a side by side?
I like York Audio IRs, however I’ve not had good luck with the levels when loading them within the Tonex software version.I should try it at some point but at least for the tone models I have on the free version I feel every time I used the cabs in the capture it sounded worse than using the York Audio IRs I have loaded on the Axe-Fx 3.

And that's still an issue in the pedal, per Kyle Bull's review.I like York Audio IRs, however I’ve not had good luck with the levels when loading them within the Tonex software version.
Meh. You could always just throw the pedal in a rack drawer.Would anyone else love to see a TONEX rack unit? It wouldn't need anything more than the pedal (though an IEC connector with integrated PSU would be nice), but I personally prefer the rack format. Didn't stop me from ordering the pedal, but a boy can dream. I'd have one installed next to my Axe Fx and Helix in a heartbeat.
Or a MacBook. That’s like wishing for an AmplifireBox rack unit. I’d wait for the AT5 hardware for an ask like that.Meh. You could always just throw the pedal in a rack drawer.
Though I do think the selection of cabs without the 3rd party IRs have been fine on their own meritsAnd that's still an issue in the pedal, per Kyle Bull's review.
I probably wouldn’t have bought the pedal without the discount, so I’m just going to write this one off as a win-win.I've given you guys hella grief in the past, but I gotta say I think y'all knocked this one outta the park. I may go ahead and pick one up just as a backup, but I pinky swear not to use the code I saw as I'm not a Tonex owner (got a ton of OTHER IK Multimedia stuff in my account, but not that....)

I hated the demo tones and still hate the UI, but I couldn’t pass it up at this price. The tones in the pedal out of the box are actually pretty amazing.I waffled a bit, but jumped off the fence and decided it was a "no" once I messed with the software. Just have to echo others in saying I don't like the user experience at all, and the default tones (and first searches) weren't bowling me over either. I absolutely believe some of the profiling/capturing champs here that it's great at that stuff, but the user experience isn't there for me YET...even at this price for the hardware.
Setup the 50th Anniversary Mesa Triple Rectifier to see how it would sit in this mix. Note I do not post process the guitars. I may adjust the tone stack EQ in Tonex to fit the mix but no external edits.
Why oh why did you have to say that?The tones in the pedal out of the box are actually pretty amazing.
