IK Multimedia’s AmpliTube TONEX Pedal - demo

[@astini.36]

The best value for money, and even beats Fractal and Kemper when it comes to copying sound as faithfully as possible! Fantastic video, I've been following you for over 10 years, always very good!

Love this channel. So informative. It allows the old guys like me to get informed on the new gear. The Tonex Pedal will all me to go to rehearsals without killing my back carrying cabs and amps. In the band I'm currently in I pull both bass and guitar duties. I have been plugging my Sans Amp RPM into the main mixer for a while so no amp or cab, just the preamp. The Tonex will allow me to do something similar but with a lot more sound at my fingertips; or should I say, toetips. Thanks again for binging this tech to some of us who need a little extra help. Thankfully I catch on quickly since I've been a computer programmer for 30+ years and am not afraid to try new things.

Looks like a ton of fun just going through the different preset sounds. I might have to get one for myself. :)

[@sbrave]

Captures are pretty close to Quad Cortex, for a 1/4 of the $$$.

[@texacomann]

I❤your Kind of playing. I already have the tonex at home 😅❤it

[@DreidMusicalX]

AM I missing where can you use pedals like reverbs and delays at with this pedal? Is there a way to use pedal with this?

[@trizzy8518]

I have a problem with installing the software, because when i press install in the IK Multimedia Product Manager to download one of the different softwares, it just says sec/NaN and doesnt download

[@U2WB]

The block diagram shows something called “ToneX reamplification box” - what unit is connected there ??

[@LucasMastropasqua]

There is a capture box from ik multimedia that is sold separately.

Cool I haven't seen you in awhile (Paul) (I just subscribed ) I bought quite a few heavy in weight tube amps watching you demo them , Now this I just got Tonex pedal and I have a IK Media "AXE I/O one" on the way , It only has one input but it does have the re amp output for the sake of tone Modeling . I'm not sure How I'm going to do this because I can't come out of the amp into the Interface and plug in the Guitar simultaneously. because only one input. Any suggestions other then send it back and get a Tonex capture or larger Interface ? LoL I know once I have the amp modeled I can transfer it into the Tonex pedal Via tonex App . so I don't need to use the pedal as an interface or source.

Hi Michael j fox do you have a video guitar tutorial of johnny b good ?

[@beornthebear.8220]

Can I practice to recorded music on headphones with this? I can use y USB port on my GT-100, and am wondering if I can do the same thing. I have the Axe I/O and AmpliTube 5. For practice now, I run a USB input from my computer stereo into my board, and plug my instrument into the board. can I do this with TONEX?

[@KL43-e8f]

yep tonex it's a audio interface too.

[@CatDieselPwr]

Looks like Freddy Kruger attacked the faceplate

[@Reaper93MV]

It looks like the "annual guitar boomers gathering" down here. Grow up gents, evolve...

[@upStomp]

I'm pretty damn old, playing my whole life, and I've never owned a tube amp. These are great times for guitar players who aren't grumpy old purists whose old-ass ears couldn't hear the difference between an amp model and an air conditioner. 🤣

[@Reaper93MV]

@@upStomp I totally agree sir. You can have a pretty good gear sub 500£, light weight and powerful enough to play gigs and people are still discussing which tubes to put in which amp and turn up on a pub with a 4x12. Nobody cares about your "tone" Jerry lol

[@electropentatonic]

I use a modeler to practice but absolutely still prefer a tube amplifier. Modelers are amazing compared to the practice amps of 20 years ago. You have to understand, earlier modelers were absolutely awful so there's an eye roll from the older generation when the next "amazing" modeler comes out. Things have changed. I don't think there's a good reason to take a side, have both, you'll love both

[@upStomp]

@@Reaper93MV, so true! I could talk about it for hours. I took quite a long hiatus from music, but when I returned a few years ago, I saw that nothing changed as far as perception and guitarists hearing with their eyes and their wallets. Sure, there's always going to be a difference "in the room" with most quality tube amps, but that's only perceptible by experienced musicians close to the sound source. I'd argue that in most solo practice situations, current-day modelers and profilers (even the "cheap" ones) sound better than their tubey counterparts since volume is removed from the tone equation. However, there is something to be said for carrying on the tube tradition. With electric guitar, the amp (including cab & speaker) is at least half the instrument and is responsible for 99% of the tone (S vs H excepted). Without a good number of people running "pure", eventually there will be nothing left to model. We could very well someday end up with generations of guitar players that sound like synths as the need and appreciation for "traditional" tones wane. I'll likely end up with a Friedman soon for this simple reason.

[@bmoneybby]

You're forgetting that these affordable modelers just became decent.

[@stewartsimpson9364]

For a moment I thought you were Michael J Fox 😂😂

[@zedmelon]

With all the raving I've heard, I expected the sounds to blow me away a bit more. They don't sound _awful_ just not stellar either. Wondering if it's mic placement during the demo.

[@TruthSurge]

You would think this demo vid would have the outputs going DIRECTLY into the video w/o ANY room echo/reverb so the exact tone could be heard and w/o a bunch of talking over it. Almost as if theydidn't WANT you to hear the tone raw. I mean, I have listened to TONS of rock guitar since the late 60s and played tons of it including John Sykes which he played here and no, that did NOT sound like Still of the Night to me. Not even close. It might be a model/clone of Syke's Marshall but not that final tone you hear on the album. Just need to run to several YT vids to find one that DOES have the output captured more accurately, I suppose.

[@TruthSurge]

me too. Just sounds like any old amp sitting in a concrete room. Should have captured the output direct into a DAW while filming. Not an enticing vid for me.

[@886014]

A good demonstration, but this sounded like a direct read from an IK PR release!

[@spada60]

what if you're not doing a capture during lunch then what can we go have

[@papasquito]

😂

[@chaos4316]

Can anyone explain why the tone turns to garbage when you try to use it in interface mode? As soon as you switch it off live, it’s awful.

[@jimtalltheislandbrothers6639]

Time to give our backs a rest from lugging gear around.

[@danfrye4289]

Guitar world is still around?

[@DMSProduktions]

@@electropentatonic And you did?

[@user-cy1kz6wc4d]

How much

[@ashtyn5959]

$399 pretty sure

[@dmitryt353]

Sounds like usual VST soap.

[@sixslinger9951]

sounds like another horrible digital amp. nothing like a real amp.

[@edb1913]

I have one and it sounds exactly like a tube amp.

[@alienlovesecrets9379]

😂 You never played a tube amp, then.

[@edb1913]

@@alienlovesecrets9379 I have a lot of them in my studio, and the Tonex sounds exactly like them. Maybe you should go buy a few tube-amps and the Tonex pedal and then compare them for yourself.

[@Chris.Bo88]

I have a the tonex too and it’s amazing for the money I had a lot of different amplifiers before a la Diezel , boogie and stuff With the right power stage behind it The walls are shaking 🤘

Did the hearing aid batteries die?
