Tonex Pedal....It's REAL

[GTR37]

What the world needs to know (or people that actually plan on using the pedal) is do you have any more caps up, other than the badass 900 cap?

Have pretty much everything from TJ, SDS, and @KyleBull queued up for when mine lands tomorrow.

First order of business will be cranking that 900 out of the PS100 into a 412

And seeing if I can manage the arduous task of the alt button.

You also need Paul from the studio rodents Bad cat and Matchless IMO

Well chip chip cheerio, sorry guv’nor!

There's a killer Fender Princton, Dover DA50 that is really pushing the power amp and a fat a$$ Armored Sabot.

One thing worth noting. There is not boot time. Instant on.

I don’t know if I’m going to pull the trigger on this. On one hand, this is killer in terms of what it does. On the other, A. No effects loop, and B. Issues with York Audio IR’s? That’s a tough one, because they’re still my shiny new IR toy, after all these months.

What do you mean issues with York IRs?

I haven’t kept my ear to the ground on comparisons of ToneX vs the competition (I’m sure Guitar John has done 17 of them) but why are we using “good enough” as a descriptor of the tones, (profiles) based on price of the pedal?

For posterity's sake, that was me, and i didn't mean "good enough" as in sonic qualities - from what i've gathered, ToneX hangs with up there with the top dogs, and it's possibly the best sounding of the bunch.

I was addressing the "the QC does more than ToneX" crowd out there. Yeah, it does... but most people won't need ToneX to in the first place. Specially given the $1500 price tag difference (!!!) between the two units.

Another note, I have to lower the lows on the pedal to get closer to the sound in the desktop software.

Ahh, good timing. This guy makes this exact point. If all you care about is profiles in your board, why even bother with the QC anymore?

ToneX even sounds closer to the real thing than the QC in these clips. Unreal.

I can see it getting annoying to level multiple presets by having to constantly go back and forth between menus if it cannot maintain its state in that same menu with Model Volume when you switch presets.

Here's how IK could simplify a lot of it by using a pile of Alt modes but accessed from the param menu as sets instead of individual controls. The display puts some limits on how to represent these but 1-2 letter abreviations would be fine, with maybe full names scrolling if you wait a bit.

Menu -> submenu	Param	Mapped to front panel knob
Amp	Gain (duplicate of main gain control)	Gain
	Depth	Bass
	Presence	Treble
	Model Volume	Volume
Cab	Reso	Bass
	Mic 1 type	Mid
	Mic 2 type	Treble
	Mics mix	Volume
Cab -> Mics	Mic 1 X	Gain
	Mic 1 Z	Bass
	Mics mix (duplicate of Cab menu mix)	Mid
	Mic 2 X	Treble
	Mic 2 Z	Volume
Noise gate	Threshold	Gain
	Depth	Bass
	Release	Treble
Compressor	Threshold	Gain
	Make up gain	Volume
	Attack	Treble
EQ	Bass frequency	Bass
	Mid frequency	Mid
	Treble frequency	Treble
	Mid Q	Gain
Reverb	Predelay	Gain
	Time	Bass
	Type	Mid
	Color	Treble
	Mix	Volume

Very quality of life !!! Let me know when you need a new job

That's very odd. I'll have to experiment with that myself. My Tonex Pedal arrived today. Original ETA was Monday, which I have off, so yay!

I would have been all over ToneX last year when I had the HX Stomp XL hybrid rig.

ToneX is likely only going to be as good as the aftermarket captures. If an MBritt emerges with a lot of high end quality amp captures then it could be a winner.

Otherwise I don’t like like Russian roulette with profiles. No interest in sifting through a bunch of crap.

I’d be curious how big the delta would be between say HX amp models and ToneX. If the feel and tone is way better than maybe I’d change my tune…

On captures of your own amps or ones off of tone net or both?

I saw this earlier and thought the exact same thing if you just want to use capture ToneX more than competes
At 1 /10 Cortex is 2499 CAD
Some guys got ToneX for 299 USD plus the fact that it comes with editor , full capture software
And Amplitube 5 , that’s an insane deal

 

[Deadpan]

My own, namely my favorite.

 

[JiveTurkey]

So just went through my Badlander and I have at least 15 captures to do in conjunction with my pedals. I am hoping it's going to go smoothly. We'll see!

Are you doing them with or without cab/IR?

 

[Orvillain]

Excuse me sir but, as an English man, I can definitively state that we have an exclusive right to sarcasm!

And the word c*nt!

 

[JiveTurkey]

Are you doing them with or without cab/IR?

Without. I think? I have a clean tone and a dirty tone dialed in. Then hit it with a variety of boosts. I have my direct box ready. The first capture (and related configuration annoyances) is going to tell me how much I do or don't regret my purchase.

And the word c**t!

Oi! Australia wants a word mate.
