You’re going to love it. Seriously.Certainly. My tracking has flip flopped from Wednesday to Monday to Tuesday currently back to Monday again. Be cool if today was actually the day

Yeah, best to completely build the preset with effects in the app and drag it over.You’ve got to judge a device like this on how it sounds with its best content loaded, and on that basis it sounds killer. Completely insane for the $$$. However, there are plenty of “meh” tones interspersed with the good stuff, and the content doesn’t seem to be in any identifiable order. Which is problematic when you throw in cutesy lawsuit repellant naming and an 8 character display.
tl;dr:
Sounds AWESOME.
Content: dog’s breakfast
UI: Bad. Just bad. Could have been vastly improved with just a few moments additional thought, and probably no additional cost.

Dunno. Honestly, I've been fighting the Audient's software for outputs on 3 or 4, so I've sadly not been able to get it to work right. I just made an offer on an AxeIO Solo though, so perhaps this week. I wanted a second interface for portability anyway.

The moles all have names like “MEXICAN MOLE”, displayed as “NEXICAN ” because the ToneX display is 8 characters and can’t make an “M”. (I’m sure the 80s vibe is 100% intentional.)Sounds like a killer video game

Step 2: Follow Deadpan on the Tone.net
Step 3: Rock out and make faces in the mirror

Please report back once you've got things sorted. One of my plans for this year would be to get a Macbook Air - and then pretty likely this very Tonex box. Might not be the right thing for the pedalboard, but it'd help to finally consolidate the recording mess.

Follow deadpan would lead to user LiveReadySound and search LRS in the app :)

That profile you posted in reply to IK‘s high gain myth post at The OtherPlace sounds f*cking GREAT! If I didn’t have stuff I was working on today, I’d be loading up ToneX now and getting that profile.

I believe that was of the 1987x which I haven't shared. I have been stock piling captures in hopes of a IK 3rd party store.

Haven’t received the Pedal yet, but with the Tonex software version using it as a plug-in you just click on ToneNET, and enter a amps brand or name or a Tone models creator’s name and it brings up a list Tone Models that can be sorted a few different ways. Super easy. If you breakdown and visit ToneNET things will be super simple other than firing up your computer.If I have to turn on a PC, somebody receives an invoice.

Not that i disagree with you, but given the number of people i read spending $$$ just to add external effects units to their QC, it will be interesting to see this play out in the near future. My guess is that a non-insignificant number of QC users were drawn in mostly by the ability of running profiles in a compact unit.
I love NEXICAN food!!!

Step one is being near a computer in the first place, which isn’t always a given for me. But yeah, this makes sense for initial searching/ transfer/ organization processes.
The “problem” (first world as ever) comes when you need to make minor contextual changes to what’s already on your board (eg at rehearsal or tuning for a room at sound check.) Things like tweaking reverb color etc (which by the way, can be very effective), is far clumsier than it could or should have been.

Sure, and that will better suit some people (ie those with very specific tastes in stomp boxes, etc. and fewer requirements in the way of programmable routing, etc.) Two different approaches for two different scenarios.
I don’t think we should underestimate the QCs ability to apply multiple captures simultaneously, either. We’re really comparing an apple and a fruit basket.

Wouldn’t just having an eq on your board post Tonex Pedal solve things? Same with a Reverb pedal? I don’t really see using the built in reverb.
…or in the loop of a mfx?

I haven't tried ToneX yet, but i played the X-Space pedal once... and the reverbs on that thing were no slouch. If ToneX has the same algorithms, i reckon most user would be quite happy with them.

That’s exactly what I told JT yesterday: that half the battle is deciding what you can get away with ignoring. But it’s kind of an (unnecessarily) missed opportunity that the (surprisingly good) onboard reverb should be such a hassle to work with.

Can Captures not be shared in a ZIP, for example, and installed into TONEX by a customer? Or are you more concerned about IP protection?
(No challenge, just asking because I'll likely end up a customer of yours.)
