IK TONEX CAB

[paisleywookiee]

So from what I gather folks still go for the Fender due to the ToneX cab having some A/D conversion even though its about 1ms of latency
whereas none of that in the Fender FR

My take

I do like the look of the ToneX cab better with swappable grills (mind you at a cost) and Profile is slightly smaller
I think the Mic/live Eq thing may be more useful that the High cut on the Fender
Amp does not have any Hiss issues and does not require a new preamp
Tweeter seems to be of better Quality (La Voce) Fender does not state what brand is the tweeter could bea cheap of the shelf Amazon horn loaded tweeter (who Knows?)

Dont think the IR loading and presets is of any value but maybe for some
Paying more for these features is also somewhat Meh but Input LED are somewhat useful
up here in QC ToneX cab $1,156 Taxes included so thats quite steep for a pair Fender is $975.00 CDN Taxes in
They dont offer a 10" version

IF I get to hear one in person, AND it blows my sack back, then sure I guess it’s worth the extra money. But otherwise, I don’t see the sense in taking the risk.

But maybe if sold on amazon i could try it since its returnable and i do see they do sell the Tonex

The hi cut on the Fender is, IMHO, part of the secret sauce in these cabs. I do hate the look of them, though. They could have aped any era, but they chose to make the damn things look like fucking Blues Juniors. I have actually entertained the thought of building new cabs for mine out of walnut, with a wicker/cane grill (Boogie style).
