INCREDIBLE - TONEX ONE is REAL and TINY

[@TLMuse]

So many of the TONEX demos focus on heavy distortion/metal presets, so it was great to hear the focus on touch-sensitive and edge-of-breakup presets here. Impressive sounding. -Tom

[@EricMakingWaves]

The clean tones are unmatched. Tone Junkie has a few Matchless and Fenders that are amazing.

[@JohnRadley-dk5bk]

So many heavy rock guys doing demos is sorta depressing. What a relief to hear cleans.

[@ac8704]

Geez. This is just an insane value. Well done Tonex!!

[@garrysimmons111]

This could be a great backup for gigs. Load up your favorite two captures (edge of breakup and higher gain for me) and run direct into the PA in a pinch.

[@VelezBiH]

That is what i was thinking as well. Add this to my Pod GO pedal board as a backup or even use it in the loop of POD Go to use new amp models...very interesting.

[@ChronicWatClesNarnia]

Or take it over to a jam where you don’t know the amp/PA situation. Sure, I could bring the HX Stomp but it is often overkill for a jam, and then I start asking myself if I need the little Headrush speaker or any other pedals. This fits in a gig bag pocket and saves jams.

[@shitmandood]

It can be a backup to my Kemper profiler.

Sounds pretty good John. Especially your presets. Simply amazing that these companies are packing so much capability into such small packages. Even the original Tonex was large but smaller than a Neural DSP or Kemper.

[@BobGuido]

Sounding amazing as always JC-3000. I'm glad this exists. It means that NAM player pedals of this format will exist S O O N.

[@FuzzWoof]

I have a full size ToneX pedal and love it, I bought a One to use alongside it for drives, but I keep a couple of my favourite amp profiles on there too so I have a complete backup if my full size one goes down. Works really well for home headphone practice too, I power it with a small USB battery bank and tuck it into a pocket while I wander around the house noodling away.

[@fultonbenjamin9022]

I bought one to use in my POD HD500x effect loop. I now have access to these great amps in my POD. I think I'll buy another one to place in front of it, for a OD pedal. They are so small, I can mount them left and right of my screen, using hook and latch tape. I've placed a noise gate and boost in front of the loop, and a chorus, two delays, reverb and volume pedal, behind it. Sounds great. Gain staging is a little difficult. No need to go out and buy a Helix!

[@Javier-qk7ms]

I really think IK should create a high quality version of the Zomm 70CDR, they are at the top of the wave right now and that would really be another top seller.

[@EricMakingWaves]

It’s honestly the PERFECT headphone practice tool. I use a full size ToneX that goes from my pedalboard to my bedside table to practice at night. This unit will just be my permanent practice setup.

[@rosthariton7930]

There is another modeller of similar size AMT Pangea Ultima U-2 which is made in Russia, but due absence of marketing is unknown. It has preamp, power Amp simulations, IR's, modulation effects like chorus, flanger, phaser, delay and recerb, Midi connectivity but no drives. But it does not do captures of course.

[@BorderRebels]

The other screaming, widdling & chugging demos put me right off this pedal - your classy playing & edge of breakup Dumble tones have sold me on it - thank you...🙂

[@JonathanMacKenzie-k7i]

I've pre-ordered. I hope it works as well for me... I've never been entirely happy with the p100's on my ES 135, and I hope to find a good amp model that works well with them.

[@chrisfit]

The plate reverb on the Tonex is really great.

[@DarthV506]

Would pair up well with a HX effects! Too bad you'd need to spend more to get the other packs that may come with the big brother box.

[@fierlefranz1730]

Is there a lot of background noise when using the pedal alone with headphones? The larger version is unfortunately very loud with humming and noise. Just like many similar products that do not have their own grounding like the kemper player. I am still looking for a quiet product for playing only with headphones 😉

[@brettliebermanmusic]

[@waynedoherty7758]

Looks pretty awesome

[@philipmarsh3522]

It probably wouldn’t fit in such a small form factor, but it’s unfortunate that it doesn’t have the ability to use midi switching. I like having snapshots set up on my HX Effects that change to the amp model I want to use automatically (presumably any good loop switcher like a G3 would also do this). But not a huge deal.

[@gregwatts680]

Yur demos always sound the best. However Michael Nielsen demoes using 2 of these at once, so that's a cool application. And considerably lighter than 2 amps

[@raynunez6027]

It’d be cool if it was midi capable. This plus the hx stomp would be the ultimate portable rig.

[@triax7006]

Teh larger Ton X pedal has midi & a large alphanumeric display instead of this pretty poor light system for your "display" on this. So this is £179, the larger pedal is £333. The lager pedal is easier to use, has more features like midi & that display & comes with the full software suite. The influencers shilling this small pedal already said "game changer" to the larger pedal & are saying it fort this tiny mini pedal. The "game changer" already occurred a year ago.

[@VelezBiH]

John nice video as allays. Is it possible to integrate Tonex with POD go, so that i can only use the amps from ToneX and effects from pod go? Hope this make sense. I had tried the ToneX software on my computer and i find the amp models more dynamic and enjoyable to play then on POD Go. So my idea was to just use Tonex for amp in my POD GO loop and effects from POD go. Obviously turn off map modeling from POD Go. Thoughts? Perhaps a video on this experiment would be valuable to some of us. Thank you.

[@gordonfitzsimmons-hl3fx]

That's what I'm going to do with the one's big brother. I've tried it in my room and sounded good. There's a few things I need to check out (hopefully this weekend). 1 is to jailbreak my GO (as I'm lazy and want the GO to cover all my modulation, delay etc needs in 1 preset (without using the bank up and down ). The other thing is to hook up an old Boss pedal between the out of the ToneX pedal and the return of the GO. Reason being I believe that the GO return is instrument vs output of ToneX being line. I'm not an electronics expert, so just going by what I've read for both products. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. As I said, it did work without me jailbreaking the GO (I just bypassed the amp and speaker on the GO) , and without me using the Boss pedal as a reamp box. I only ran the out of the GO to my laney FRFR. Once I do the other changes, I'll take it to a gig. If the GO crashes or plays up..ill just go thru the ToneX to get thru the gig. Thats the plan anyway ...oh my GO is out of warranty now, so, I'll take the hit on it, if it crashes and doesn't recover 😊

[@David.Bulzan]

Very random but where can I get the backing track from the start of the video hahah

[@CarlGtSmith]

TONEX ONE is nice! Guitar processors can make a big difference in sound depending on the CAB IR you use. actually there are many IR products on the market, but I think DYNAX IR has the best sound. As stated in their product description, DYNAX IR is really fast. When using IRs, the pick attack is sometimes delayed, and it is difficult to add picking nuances, but their IR prevents all of that. It's revolutionary!

[@Stringprodigy]

nonsense

[@imri2541]

can you make a video about cab IRs, I can't understand how to find the right one, I'm playing mostly clean or with a bit of drive and most of the videos about IRs are for high gain metal tones. thanks

I think it's a cool idea ! You can load up to 20 presets..and there are 25k tone models...lots of tones, amps and pedals all for. $179 USD...you can't beat it...this along with the Line 6 Pod Express all for under $400USD fits in your gig bag for a compact but very functional rig !

[@shitmandood]

That's a bit steep for something so small.. Most pedals that size are usually $100 or less down to 30.

[@worthmoremusic]

Maybe you'd rather spend 2-3X the price on another larger IR pedal..i.e. Friedman, Boss, NuX, Strymon, etc ? Generally speaking most small effect pedals for $100 don't have 1/2 the features these 2 I mentioned above have or are capable of offering what they offer. $179 is a great price for all the "lil' pedal offers...p.s...Does size really matter ?

I think the TONEX plugins are great, specially the fact that you can bring in a Klon or any other pedal into your signal chain and now that it is available in a pedal platform. Specially for the conventional pedal platform people it will be great!! Unfortunately I have moved “away” from the traditional pedal platform and use their plugins extensively in their Amplitube software. I will soon release a video of my live setup using Amplitube with three different Amps in one preset and switching between them seamlessly - Bogner clean, Marshall overdriven and then Hi-gain Soldano (obviously you can select whatever amp combinations) for an ultimate live setup! Each one having their own sets of pedals in front and then also in their fx loop and then rack/pedal fx in the master bus!! All I use is a midi foot controller with 8 x buttons and two expression pedals (digital) ..can do almost any rig live with this setup !!

[@thecaveofthedead]

To be clear: you can play amp captures through this? And you can play user captures? Or not? Unclear if these are 'models' or 'profiles'.

These are profiles made with Tone X pedals and uploaded, so yes. You can play captures.

@@johnmessenger5395 The Tonex has a shitty screen from 1980. I would not buy it. Put a screen from this century on it and maybe. Let me make it clearer. A pen is the size it is because it works. I could make it smaller with exactly the same properties as a normal sized one but, it would be difficult to hold and use. It would be a step in the wrong direction. A pedal that is that small will damage my cables or I would have to make it bigger by bolting it to a board. That defeats the object. Pedals have been pedal sized for ages for a reason. Using 'logical' presses and holds to get to areas is fun until you forget how to get to a menu. The novelty will wear out fast when you cannot do something simple. China will run with this idea and put it in a proper sized case with a screen. I'll buy that one as it will be easier to use. I play a full sized guitar. I could buy a smaller one but that would be stupid, same with this. Watch out for the non shill reviews where they point out that the thing is too small and the gymnastics to alter stuff is a step too far. I'm not saying it is bad.
