"all you have to do is click here then here, then click on this submenu and then hit search and they will all be right there". This is what IK does so well

lol right? Initially, I was just going to say "just filter to amp tone models in the software library", and then I remembered that was complete nonsense to me like 3 days ago haha

Also fwiw there are about 25 or so direct (amp only / no cab) captures included in the factory collection, so you have a fair amount to try out there too.

Oh, to add to this: one thing about these factory captures vs the ones you get from Amalgam, Amp Gems, etc is that the latter give you a lot of different captures of the same amp at different EQ settings, gain levels, on different channels, etc, while with the factory ones you get one or sometimes two or three snapshots of an amp at specific settings. You can still get a lot out of those with the onboard EQ though, and the Depth and Presence controls help a lot too, but yeah.

All of these ones have "(Amp)" at the end of their name, so you can search that in the Tone Model section of the Software Library (Tonex Editor > Librarian [button at the top left] > Software Library [right half of the screen] > Tone Model [button just below "Software Library"]) to find them, or use the filter button there (to the left of "Filters" on that screen) to filter by "TYPE", and then select Amp (the icon looks like an amp head) and/or Amp+Stomp (the icon just to the right of the Amp one).

This is the exact reason I shit-canned Tonex CS when it first came out after a few months and never looked back. I guess I love the pain...

I'm new at this, and I plan to run it without cab sims and IR's are there amp only captures and/or amp + effects? I also read where you can take the cab or IR out of the capture, but it's a hit or miss (mostly Misses) from what I have read.

I'll check out the Partner section when I get everything installed and running.

Thanks!!

Some of the packs I have include DI captures without a cabinet. I will release a few more packs very soon that are exclusively DI without a cabinet. They are primarily meant for use with a real cabinet.
