Been asked to put together a very small rig for a colleague.
He already has a Morningstar MC6 MK2 and has asked me whether to get the Tonex ONE of the Stompstation.
In short-
=> I can get him a mint-used Tonex ONE plus Midi Box all locally here in Oz all up for $AUD 300 [the midi box is needed as the MC6 MK2 cant natively change Tonex ONE settings]
=> He can also afford a Sonulab StompStation - which landed here in Oz will be around $AUD 490 - quite a bit more
From Leo Gibson's test, the LUFS for the Tonex ONE is -34.9 and for the Sonulab its -33.7 -and- latency for either is roughly the same.
Also, from my personal testing, the aliasing in the Tonex does have a built-in roll off in the high end from around ~14khz... but both being NN/AI/ML units, their aliasing is probably a wash.
Also, he is not wedded to Tonex Captures or NAM Captures but wants my opinion.
Im thinking even though the Sonulab is a miniscule ~%3 better in the LUFS - that is almost certainly unhearable ... so given the big Price differnece ... I thinking of recommending the Tonex ONE and Midi Box.
Any thoughts / ideas would be appreciated.
