BEST NEW GEAR OF 2024? - Tonex One

Trying out the IK Multimedia Tonex One Micro pedal. I think it really makes sense in today's guitar world.
DISCLAIMER: IK Multimedia sent this unit for free for the purpose of the demo, but I'm sending it back after the test. I'm not getting paid, it's not a sponsored video. I'm staying unbiased and will always say exactly what I feel about a product.

I love how KZbin translates the heavy chugs as "no nonono no no nono"

[@laivasimo8427]

"Line sex pot express absolutely"

Dude there's chugs in this one? Kinda rude to put a spoiler like that in a comment

[@The_Maddest_of_Hatters13]

Insane tones from this little thing! Seriously impressive. Great playing as always Ola. Hope you're doing well!!!

[@666dreamboat]

If u play in a simple 1 tone band and you don't get something like this and use a lil poweramp before your cab you just hate your back for no reason.

[@rynoriffs6505]

I was surprised, much better unit than I thought it was going to be, pretty cool! And it took the ts-9 well! What a time to be alive! 🤘

@@MikeArpeggio345 me too me too...at the time they were great 👍🏻

[@PatternRecognitionMusic]

I started with a Fender Sidekick 15 Reverb and a KMD distortion pedal, and paid as much for that in the late 80s as this thing costs now!

[@LordHar]

Side note : That is one gorgeous Solar guitar in the beginning

[@GamerSirus]

I've owned a Tonex for a year, and I gotta say, it blows other profiling units that cost 4x as much out of the water in terms of accuracy. But, one of the biggest complaints I've seen is the fact that you can't combine amp captures with pedal captures without doing it during the actual capture process. With this, I can now have the full size unit for amp models, and this smaller unit for stomp models. I will definitely be saving up to buy one of these. Fuckin stoked.

[@buckbreaker5185]

imagine if we had these 20 years ago man

[@GamerSirus]

@@buckbreaker5185 Bro, you're tellin me! I played exclusive on a Spider II 2x12 for 16 years. I didn't know any better!

[@SxSxG666]

Can you use the tonex directly pluged in in your guitar with headphones only? Like a practice amp that fits your pocket?

[@GamerSirus]

@@SxSxG666 With the original, yes, but with the One version you would need something like a DI box. You could also plug the One into your interface and use the headphone out from that.

[@quentincroisez8061]

Incredible demo Ola !!!!!!!! Thaaaanks duuuuude !

[@Taralyzer]

This sounds really good!!

[@dookieshoe2905]

I love him checking the clean sound for a minute then okay that is a thing, now back to metal. XD

Nice opener riffs! Good job ola 😊

[@jasonstone1046]

Incredible piece of kit.

[@ironspike171]

Thanks Ola! The first riff gave me DooM E1M1 „At the Gates“ vibes. Very much matching to the T-Shirt! I want one!

[@Ryan_Q3L]

That was riff-tastic awesomeness right there. Highly intrigued.

[@steveweilhart2359]

nice Ola' feeling your joy - sounded great!

[@stoshua88]

[@Jmario7979]

I haven't had the inspiration to sit down and make music lately, but hearing that intro makes me want to pick up my guitar and play, thanks Ola

[@Daniel-vh9jt]

Thanks for this video ola

[@MrJingles021]

This is exactly what I wanted Helix to do with their amps. I'll definitely be getting one of these.

[@paulhaullussy8662]

Great stuff again from IK Multimedia!! The only thing I would like to see in the pedal is MINI IN! That would be killer!

[@molotovbatradio]

Great piece of kit!! 🔥

[@TheStrykerProject]

So frickin' cool! We definitely are in golden years of gear, and that makes me happy.

[@ExDementia666]

Damn, this is like the ultimate tour backup rig just in case. Fits anywhere, can be powered with a USB battery pack, and you can just go into the FX return of the house amp and be good to go. Amazing for packing light for fly-in gigs as well

[@zardozjones]

Pedal is great, playing is superb - T-Shirt is amazing - love it!

[@kramersurfer5280]

thats just insane , and looks so easy to use.

[@peevee605]

A great sounding flyrig is all of a sudden down to a backpack size pedal board. Awesome.

[@illegal_space_alien]

The thing is, we've had the Mooer Radar for a couple of years now, and the TC Impulse came out last year. So a mini rig has been doable for a while now. That said, I wonder how the sound quality would compare between these three mini units? That will be the metric on whether the Tonex 1 will be worth the extra cost.

[@JoeFic9997]

Ola this looks amazing and a real game changer!

[@thiagogomes9429]

Amazing RIFF in intro with this Dive Bombs

[@DavidThull]

There's so much great stuff out right now. It's crazy.

[@MrSpeakerCone]

For smaller acts and those just starting out, I think this thing will be amazing. Hard to imagine something with less setup, easy to carry on public transport, easy to use in small pub shows, sounds every bit as good as a professionally mic'd 4x12 with substantially less sound check.

[@nathgrindhc]

Pretty sick ! Gonna check it out ! So does it store settings you upload from the ToneX app ? Or do you have to travel with a laptop ? Pretty amazing stuff 👏

[@psc502]

I pre-ordered the app before there ever was a pedal it just sounds great It's not easy to make your own great sounding captures but it is rewarding and you can make some that are very good for a mix that you would never use in a live setting but as you're making ability improves and maybe even you get better gear you can continue to keep your sound forever in the ecosystem not somebody else's but what you hear in a room

[@randychambers1704]

Killer intro jam

[@PeterMoore350]

Love the intro track. So for live you should probably buy a couple of them? Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘

[@yoshikigrg8]

Now this is THE F**KING PEDAL i was looking for my entire life. 😎 🤘 🔥

[@Lewkario]

I remember about 10 years back wanting solid options for preamp pedals so badly as I just didn’t have the space or need for a big tube amp. Now there’s no shortage of products competing at really compelling price points. This is insane to see for the price and with the fidelity in the amp sounds this will be a great product for guitarists of all types. Really seems that IK is hitting the mark at meeting guitarist needs which is surprising as it’s not really something they were super well known for. In any event I’m all for it and looking forward to what the current climate of competition does for other products moving forward.

[@smagliaro]

I'm loving the trend of tiiiiiiny modeling devices lately (Tonex One, L6 HX One, POD Express). I'd love to see something similar from NDSP that can just flip through various captures. We're in the era of hyper-micro flyrigs!

[@Mikesosa75]

Amazing!

[@michaelprosser8706]

The fact that you get the the pedal plus the software (which the software alone is $100) is a killer deal! Might just have to save up for this one!

[@pandiwan6376]

Wow, this intro song is SICK !

[@karloschavezmetal]

Bloody hell! So, I have an HX Stomp, and adding this just boosts my small rig by tons. In the studio (and live) HX Stomp + tonex one. And in the studio Helix native + tonex app. Same rig in both places and no need to move them or buy more hardware. Wicked!

[@bertr9804]

Heck yeah Ola!! That is some heavy shit! Beast mode baby! ROCK on!!!

[@PabloCorreaChandia]

came for the pedal, stayed for the guitar! damn it looks awesome!

I was about to pull the trigger on the Line6 Pod Express but this might have swayed me in it's favour instead. Thanks for this breakdown, Ola! ❤

[@thorpenator9148]

I love the Pod Express. Not saying I wouldn't like to own this as well...haha

[@WorldWideChugging]

Hell Yeah 🔊 good chugging deal 👌🏼

[@nahuelarguiz]

10:41 love that idea !

[@jnicholson]

I have the original Tonex pedal. Insane bang for your buck. I reamped a riff through it using my amp capture as well as my real amp with the captured settings and I can't hear a difference that would be anywhere near significant e.g. in a mix or live situation. Now I use it with my analog pedals in my pedalboard as the amp (with midi control to switch amps and effects). Excellent stuff. Need to see if this could replace some of my drive pedals if I capture them into this.

[@menschlicheswesen84]

The tonex one can't do MIDI right ...?

[@jnicholson]

@@menschlicheswesen84 you can assign midi control to your Tonex pedal presets and parameters to be controlled with external devices (now talking about the larger version of the pedal). Tonex also has midi out so you can control external devices, but I haven’t used that.

[@toddwilliams4033]

Damn!!! I'm sold!!! A stripped down and simplified micro pedal that still holds 20 tones? HELL YA!!!

[@mikeygeoff]

Been wanting a Badlander and now that i see you made a capture of one... It could be like.. Hey bring your Badlander over to jam . nah don't wanna carry it and lug it around. Oh wait. Let me bring the Tonex One with the capture of it. BOOM! amazing time to be alive that is for sure.

[@jasonbates2687]

Guess I will be watchin videos about this all day now lol.

[@CS-ep3ku]

This thing looks sick! 🤘 Is it just me or is it a little weird they put the usb port right by where you stomp on it though?

[@Squeeb24]

That intro track..RIFF

[@maximilianosantana5696]

Ola is amazed. That's a point

[@sergeimetalheart2593]

What a great time to be a guitar player

[@therevolution91]

This is actually a noise gate what modules down the noise. Therefore you can hear the distortion better. (that the amp doesn‘t overdrive) But also adds some extra gain possibilieties.

[@TudorAdrian]

Was that tubescreamer powered on? I didn't see any lights come up on the boost pedal when it was used

[@TheVoiceInYourHeadd]

Your channel is massive now. Id like to see you doing interviews with bands old and new. Give it some thought! You'll be the Joe Rogan of Metal.

[@heryhandoko7400]

The only thing I am missing from my gear is profiling. Was tempted to get a headrush or big toneX or any multi fx that support profiling, but now.. This just makes a whole lot more sense..

[@ProjectCreativityGuy96]

Dude, remember to take a break, and don't let Yourself to be forced into anything that You don't want to do! Just looking out for Your wellbeing, that's all, Buddy! 😊

[@iwannarockon2010]

Pritty frickin sweet 🤘

[@Q-Bandito]

That intro riff slaps hard

[@petaralargic]

Awaiting the chug comparison of all the contenders

[@CedricSatterfield]

Do edits of the Tonex One translate to the Tonex application, or it only a 1 way connection from the App to the pedal?

[@TheWaidro]

How does Ola set his audio interface for guitar input? Interface gain at 0 or just below clipping? That is a valuable detail for me about how things are sounding here.

[@alexodonnal3352]

Its so funny when these products make their rounds through all the guitar channels

[@1683clifton]

I didn't see you use the volume knob much? Does it respond like tube when you turn the thing down and use the tone knob!

[@gregg4058]

Sorry if someone already asked. Ola you always make your amps sound awesome and you have plenty of the greats. Any chance you will make a preset pac.

[@ascar66]

so I can connect the pedal to return of my amp and get a badlander sound? And of course I shouldn't use build in cabs on tonex. Am I right? Will it work that way?

[@caicedodigipaints]

Hi I'm new to this wonderful rig pedal stuff....can I go "ampless" with Tonex 1? Meaning...guitar+ cable+ Tonex1 + in house board?....I play in a very simple loud "one tone" kinda band...

[@TheGorillafoot]

That riff at 35 seconds, fucking nice!

[@misterringer]

I wish it had MIDI. Even a TRS to midi port would be fine. This would have been sweet to put two of these into a helix effects loop for amps to fee up more processing in the helix.

[@lennyblandino]

Nice!

[@theneverwas2835]

This is one smart fellow

[@theFraz666]

What a riff, wow

[@Heka41]

Ola, are your guitars ever going to be available at large American retailers? Like Guitar Center or Sweetwater?

[@ShaunB-zy2ds]

Ola bruh,keep up the good work take breaks as needed,cause I know. I'm 2 +40 years old and yup I can feel the pains in my shoulders,elbows,wrists knuckles,knees. I have to stand up more sometimes. I play couch drum and bc rich warlock core. Yes couch drum,no pedals. Just blue drumsticks,I had to improvise

[@abiishk]

Can be also used as stereo noise gate

[@DarkstOfficial]

man.. could I use this directly to my focusrite 18i20 interface? and use the focusrite outputs/preamps to a 4x12 cab/front of house? or do I still need something like a Seymour poweramp pedal?

[@lordmorgoth7]

Since this is a modeler why not use it directly to pa?

[@richardjones2811]

Bit of Testament there, tasty 😍😍

[@frankstracuzza5949]

Great tone! Are any of your tonex captures in this video available on tonenet or for sale? Love that badlader capture! 🤘🤘

[@OlaEnglund]

They are on the tone cloud for free

[@aldrynmoguel1438]

Amazing! I think that it would be perfect if it has the option to add a dual switch pedal to have 2 more amp banks, thus having 4 amp options.
