IK Multimedia TONEX

I have to give IK credit, though I’ve yet to play through the thing, the Tonex One is a VERY robust feeling piece of hardware. These LEDs are also damn near blinding. Can’t imagine losing sight of these on stage.
 
Bought the Tonex for the group buy and I'm impressed. To me it's the most in the room sound and feel I've found. I'm loving it, even to the point I think I'm going to sell my FM9. Not because the FM9 isn't good but it's way more than I need. I prefer an amp + pedal setup and the Tonex fits that perfectly.


Sure, the software could be improved but I intend to find a few core amps and call it a day. I don't think I'll be in the software often. Overall I'm very happy with it.

Agreed. IK does have their quirks but I think they're software gets it done. They have some standout software. The new Brown Sounds, Mesa, Satriani packs are very good. Lifeson has some good amps as does ENGL. For everything else, find a decent DI, pair it with a Solodallas IR and call it a day. I mostly prefer Solodallas as they have more of a room feel with their U47/67/87 mics. I might cash out my AX3 for a VP4.
 
Hi All,

Been doing DI captures with the new V2 process. It feels like an improvement.

Set the Armored Sabot V3 up today and dialed it in.

I know it is inconvenient to download it from Dropbox, but I am not able to share it publicly yet on Tone.net so I appreciate the extra effort.

This amp had a rocky reception and I understand why. This V3 version of the Sabot added an extra internal gain stage that brought the input impedance up to the needed 1meg ohm.

Given this I thought many of you may be interested in trying it. This is straight in, no pedals.

Warning, this is high gain and chugs. Bring your own IR.

Let me know what you think.

Thank you!! I'll DL this at lunch and give it a test drive!

Tried it out. Defenitely not the sounds I'm after, but it seems to chug - just that this is really very, very noisy. Checked with both the plugin and the TO.

To note, this is created for 12dbu of input put gain. The pedals i believe have around 8.5dbu so you need to lower the gain in the capture or set the input trim to -3.5 to get the intended level. This of course may need adjustment depending on your instrument.

Man, input level is still an enigma to me 😂

Anyone has issues with the Tonex app recently ? Since a couple days, the standalone version is frustratingly unresponsive, any action like selecting another presets or turning a button on the tonestack takes 10 seconds. And when I load Tonex as a VST in my DAW, it simply freezes. I uninstalled/reinstalled it (Win 10 machine here) but no improvement. I contacted support too...

this could be related to the search engine being completely f#cked at this point.
Perhaps the search is struggling in the background.
I used to be able to search by vendor. Now nothing.

If I choose this one, it clearly shows that it is made by Boutique Tones.

I put my user name in and as long as I have "creator" selected, it brings up my captures.
 
Anyone here messed much with a tube preamp into a Tonex running a power amp capture?

I've been doing DIY pedal stuff lately, which leads to a lot of loud effects that don't necessarily play well with the frontend of digital stuff (especially the Tonex...), so I've been thinking about grabbing something like one of those compact high voltage tube preamp pedals like the Kingsley or Tubesteader ones, or maybe even a used Friedman IR-D, and running it this way.

I did some experiments with Helix preamps into some power amp captures and got pretty good results (a little tricky to dial in the levels, but I got it). I want to try the reverse too (Tonex preamp capture > Helix, maybe with the Helix setup with a Super amp model set flat and clean).

I'm also sort of curious how a Tonex power amp capture compares to the Friedman "DSP IR" power amp sim. I'm guessing it's much better as that doesn't seem to be the strong point of those pedals.

Try Live Ready Sound

currently trying to restore my database from a backup.
I tried to do a local search of all of my own 'scoob701' and couldn't find any. Then I tried a search for 'scoob701' on tonenet and nothing. This one is a mess.
I went to my other authorized computer and all of my own local stuff was gone. Luckily the tonenet search for 'scoob701' worked but I had to download all of my own files. I have one marble left and if I lose it, there's gonna be trouble.

On the 'good' computer, I tried a local search with 'live ready sound' and it came up dry. That's BS because I have the 50th Triple from you. Tonenet 'live ready sound' works on that computer.

To further confuse matters, what the fuck is this? Even I import a .txp file from a purchased package, it should not log me as the creator.
