IK Multimedia TONEX

My other guitarist and I wrapped up tracking guitars on a song tonight. Tonex is doing such a great job for us. We’re using a combination of the IK captures and some I’ve made of my 2204 and Mark III.

Tonight I discovered that I could use the Tonex cab models on my direct captures and that provided some surprisingly realistic results on a part I was struggling to seat sonically with their IRs. I didn’t know this was possible, and IMO adds a ton of flexibility to Tonex.

Hoping to get some mixes together soon.

I agree. I did a couple of sessions recently and used the Tonex with my captures and IR’s and it really worked out great.
 


The shills creators are promoting a limited white anniversary edition of the pedal and teasing a big update tomorrow which is supposed to solve some (but not all) long-standing problems.
 
Why isn't there just a really obvious button labelled "show me my ToneX captures" ??

This is still frustrating software to use. It looks good. But isn't intuitive.

I was bored last night and genuinely thought about trying the tonex demo again just because I've got a new laptop. My previous frustrations with the whole thing put me off about two minutes after I went on their website. It's almost as much of a mess as the tonex software is.

This would be an INSANE value add from IK if true. I’m VERY curious to see what’s coming now. The mention of big firmware updates to the pedal is intriguing considering we all expected this to be abandonware.

We shall see it certainly hits at Nano Cortex
If they have 4 drives 4 mods 4 delays 4 reverbs
Even the limited white w the 150 captures from partner packs for an extra $50 is pretty cool

I also suspect the nano might be ratcheting up a little arms race, which frankly bring it on. The profile/capture space had all the air sucked out of it via Kemper’s reign over the last decade. It’s refreshing to see signs of life.

Having 4 options in each of those effects categories would IMO be game changing if they get that all into the hardware. Not sure where you’re getting your info but I hope you’re right.

we should know by end of week , this week was all about toneX and everyday they are doing something new

Monday was the integration of Amplitude
Tuesday was the Redseven capture pack
Today was white and 150 partner captures

so we shall see Thursday / Friday
 
Got to say I really dislike the sound clips they have on site even the Satriani and premium capture , they sound like a blanket over the speaker and are fizzy as hell,

To someone who owns the ToneX is the stuff on the IK site and accurate representation at all ?

If something sounds fizzy, it’s because the source was fizzy. I’ve not found anything inherently fizzy about Tonex.
