Bought my first one for €80 2nd hand (been a special price, though). And now I'm on my third. May sell one of them, though, but two are defenitely keepers.

Get it! You can always send it back if you dont like it. Put a few OD/Dist captures in front of that new amp you got

Nice, thanks for the heads up! I’m almost exclusively using amp only captures and was a bit bummed that the Brown Sound collections had so few of them.PSA

Fwiw, my absolute favourite pedal platform patch is a full amp capture with the cab "calculated" out and replaced by an IR of my choice.
In fact, I'm using quite some patches that way.
Do they sound authentic? Likely not - but as I have no options to compare, I simply decide by ear.

Yeah, some of the ODS caps seemed fine that way too. My clean cap right now is actually a V1, amp-only stock Fender. Never used it before and usually filter Tonex on V2 but it works!

I absolutely don't care about V1 or V2 as long as things feel great. Admittedly, the feel of some comparable V2 captures seems somewhat better compared to V1, but it's not night and day by any means.

Also depends on your tones. If it's heavy metal stuff, where a good level of fizz is important for some, there's considerably more high end with V2 with some captures. I very much prefer V2.
Night and day? Don't know.
But additionally, V2 works in many cases where V1 would fail. So this expands the possibilities of what amps you can capture. Previously too much high end in the source amp could drive tonex bonkers. You had to be very careful with that.
So not only did we get more accurate captures but also more tones that can be captured properly. And because of the more convenient capturing process, it's become a lot easier to produce more.

I'm all fine with things being improved. But for my use case most V1 captures seem to be pretty great already.

I finally got around to trying your poweramp capture, and I'm hooked on it. I'm feeding my synergy preamps into it and it sounds and feels great! Thank you so much for sharing this.I have a Tonex capture I’ve created of my Mesa Mark III simul class power amp that sounds great when I put my Mesa Studio Preamp through it:
I also have a capture of the Studio Preamp here:
Here’s one with the Studio Preamp feeding the Mark III power amp:
Also, your other mesa captures are excellent. We dial things similarly :)

Thanks for reminding me that I need to throw together a V2 capture of this poweramp! Glad it’s working for you.

I'm having this issue where pickups like Duncan JB, Duncan distortion, EMG 57 and a tonerider PU clip the input of the tonex one. No pedals in front of the tonex.
It's easy to see and test for.
Set up the tonex one as an interface and record a clean DI in your DAW. If you just play relatively softly -- like many people do -- you may not see an issue.
But use pickups like mine, especially with some heavy palm mutes and powerful chords, and the signal is likely to clip. You should see it in your DAW. This makes me think the problem is at the input of tonex one.
Have other people noticed this? There really doesn't seem a way around it when using tonex alone, unless (perhaps) one lowers their pickups, turns down volume knob of the guitar...
But these aren't things I wanna do. And I can't think of a solution without more hardware. This isn't something you can fix with input trim either -- it's not how it functions.
Am I missing something? Some setting I haven't considered?
