IK Multimedia TONEX

Spaced Out Ace said:
I am contemplating a Tonex and getting the Brown sound backs (78/79, 80/81, and 82/84), but will not be using these into a full frequency type setup (ie, ""FRFR"" speaker, monitor speakers, etc). Would these still sound good into a power amp and 412 cabinet? The setup would be a Fryette Power Station PS-2a and Mojotone British 412 with Celestion G12M-25 Greenbacks/G12H-30 Heritage 55hz or 75hz in an X pattern. Can the cabinet simulation be turned off or is there an amp only version of the captures?

Thanks for any insight.

I don't think there are many, if any DIs, for the Brown Sound Packs so I would avoid if you aren't using a "FRFR" of sorts

You can turn off the cab but it's not a strong suite of the Tone X.

They specifically advertise that the pack includes DI's so that you can go direct to your own cab. It is in the web text and they call it out in the videos.

The answer is yes, the packs include captures without the cabs specifically for what you want to do.

BTW, if you don't know, you can currently buy one of the Brown Sound special editions and get two of the three packs included at a discount to buying them separately.

The 78/79 list on their website shows no DI packs. The other 2 haven't even launched yet.

Did they say how many DIs?

I'm thinking that is only available on the Tonex One, whereas I'd rather have the Tonex (the full version pedal). Please I have a $299 offer on Reverb I may take advantage of.
 
Maybe there is some confusion between the "raw" versions and amp only versions? Really interested, but I don't care much for "FRFR" options ("FRFR" speakers, monitor speakers, etc).
 
I have the first Brown Sound pack and there are no DI type captures in it. Not sure why people think there are but, no, I would not recommend it for use with a cab due to that.
 
There are many fine DI captures available that can do VH through a similar cab to which ever vintage of VH you're going for, try these vendors...

Amalgam

Hammerspace Recording

...as all include both full and DI captures, and all sound good IME.

You want a Marshall or modded Marshall style amp, or a Peavy style EVH styled amp, and if you need more gain for the Plexi early stuff you can add front end boost with the ToneX's compressor or an external boost within reason.
