Tonex Pedal....It's REAL

[Sascha Franck]

It's exactly they way the big volume knob on the Helix and Quad Cortex works for the most part.

Yes. But those have easily reachable patch volume controls. Most often directly exposed once a patch is loaded. The Tonex doesn't.

B. Issues with York Audio IR’s?

What are these issues?

 

[JiveTurkey]

What? That’s a fair criticism!

What we really need, for boxes like this, the Iridium, and ACS-1 one thing, is an “End of Pedalboard” junction box/DI with both XLR’s and a headphone jack. That would be cool.

Post effects would like to have a word.

What are these issues?

It was mentioned by at least Kyle Bull that there are issues with volume with the ToneX pedal and plug-in. Let me see if I can find it.

I look at Tonex that if I want to record with it I’ll use the plug-in. I’ll use the Pedal version with my collection of pedals before and after it into some powered cabinets. Absolutely no need for an effects loop in my particular use case.

…and I’ll still keep using tube amps and component modeling right on along with everything else.

Right, you’d put the DI/junction box at the very end; you’d have your dirt/fuzz in front, then the amp emulator (ToneX, Iridium), then your chorus/delay/reverb, then DI/Junction box.

And, as an owner, it takes pressing one button twice to get to that.

As an *owner*, I can say, *objectively*, your point is invalid.

Ooh, “objectively”?

Pressing a button? Goddammit I'm out!

I can get the crayons out if necessary!

 

[Foxmeister]

It's worse than that! you have to press it twice!

I am indeed a big dummy!

Yeah, could even be all analog. And heck, it could even offer a switchable, analog FX loop (most often, for FX placed towards the end, you don't need send/return level controls). My next pedalboard iteration will actually have something like that (custom built), for the time being I'm using this here (signal is running into a DI under the board, XLR to FOH, thru to this little thing):

Less than ideal with that cinch input business, still working quite well, providing additional ins (for the acoustic board or other duties), independent monitoring EQ, independent monitoring volume, aux and even BT in, so I can even waste some stage wait time, noodling to backings without annoying anybody else.
My custom built device will in fact have something like a switchable FX loop (well, in fact it's gonna be a bunch of switchable I/Os, freely routable).

Doesn't have anything to do with being an owner or not. To understand that there's more actions required to get to a parameter that could as well be exposed all the time is nothing I need to own a unit for.

Yeah that works. I did find an Ashdown DI that not only had XLR and headphone out, but also amp outs too. Pretty slick. But they don’t appear to make it anymore, unfortunately.

Using an Amplifire Box while complaining about interfaces on other devices seems rather, um; conflicting?

Pressing one button twice....

Such a hardship

That's like one button press more than one button press - we used to call this a double click...

I love these dunning krugers who think they can fit a 7" box on 3" of space
