They have IRs to choose from but you can load your own. They have their own version of IRs called VIRs but I couldn't tell you what makes them "special".
Also, allegedly DI captures are most accurate on Tone X and full captures are better on NAM.

Oh cool so I can get a capture of just my Sound City with Fanes and Bogner with Blackbacks. That would be very nice.

Yeah it's very akin to Kemper with DIs, full chain, and then "merged" where you can remove the the cab of a full chain but tbh it doesn't divide it super well. You'd be better off just having both a DI and full chain separate

I have the baby brother Skill.
First impressions are pretty great. Was able to transfer the M-Zero DI files (9 high gain, 5 crunch, 4 clean) I got into the unit without having to read much at all. Same goes for editing the captures (main and ALT) and then saving. Was able to land on a great high gain patch right off the bat - needed bass reduction and some rolling off of the upper high end but other than that I pretty quickly lost about 15-20 minutes with it just jamming away and really getting off on the tone and feel.
LOVES my pedals both in front and after but honestly wasn't using much except a little EQ and delay.
Overall an extremely good first impression!
5 pickles!

It's a $400 digital version of my favorite amp. What's wrong with that?

My Tonex is primarily running BiasFX captures, aliasing and all

Whittled down the 9 high gain captures to 1 that works without a single adjustment on the box.
That's going to be the #1 hang and what I've been completely lost in for the last hour.
Everything else aside, I'm seriously blown away by the feel of this thing under the fingers.
It's got both an immediacy and bounce that gives the same tactile feel as the Skill head.
VERY impressed so far.

What are they? I bought the SDS and Amalgam stuff. I am really liking the SDS things for mixing, but the amalgam stuff for playing live

Oh man, that video does sound awesome! I play a seven string. Do some of the captures have a pedal in front used for high pass like a tube screamer?

This is what I like to hear. I can typically get modelers to sound pretty good but the feel and dynamics can get lost depending on the model and/or modeler brand.
