They are trickling in. Amazon and GC so far and IK direct.

OK thanks - one last question (sorry).... does the larger Tonex pedal show the patch name on the display, or the amp name? If I choose a patch, I want it to show the patch name (for example CLEAN-1 / CRUNCH-4 / LEAD-2), not the amp type. Thanks!

Just rename your presets and save them

I use Amalgam captures and I edit the names to just show the amp and settings - for instance "MKV/I CL" = their Mark V on channel 1's clean setting. I'm still in the phase where I'm playing with a ton of captures so I haven't set it up to have custom names like that (because right now "crunch" would be unhelpful for me, but if I were playing live I'd want to be able to see them like CLEAN-1 / CRUNCH-4 / LEAD-2.

Not super impressed by anything I’m hearing on the modulation side. Leave it up to IK to put a level knob on a phaser instead of feedback.

Spent some time with the update tonight. The delays and mods strike me as very run of the mill stock digital effects. Not much personality, best kept subtle.

I did manage to lose 2 hours playing a bunch of the IK and Amalgam Superlead captures.

... only 5 mins in and they are without any question some of the worst sounding captures / profiles etc.... I've ever heard out of any "copying" platform

So... Really interested in the on sale tonex. Some reports are that it has true bypass and buffered bypass modes.

If it has true bypass, i could put it in front of my other fx processor, and switch it off without incurring the 2ms latency?

Id like to have my g11 midi control the tonex in front. That way i could use tonex profiles or built in models. I dont want to have it in the loop. Possible? Just needs to have midi switchable bypass.

Another question... when profiling an amp with presence and resonance, how do you set them so that when you play the profile back through the amp, that it sounds the same?

 

[Shredder777]

Being lazy rarely pays off, but I just installed the ToneX Max I purchased six weeks ago and got a free copy of Amplitube 5 MAX v2. Apparently the free BF stuff is based on when you register.

Now I have even more to play with...

Jackpot!

You wouldn’t be able to play them back through the same power amp without it doubling down on the sound of that power amp. If you were going to run a profile through a guitar power amp you’d want to profile the preamp only.

Just had an idea about the ToneX One for integration with a switching system. It has a latching footswitch, so it should be possible to wire a parallel jack which can be hooked up to an A/B switcher in a MFX.
