MESA BOOGIE Reference Amp Pack for Tonex

[@BalashToth]

Great timing😊 I'm on my coffee break. Awesome tones🤘

[@AntonLukas]

Wow, came for the chugs but that clean tone is gorgeous ❤

[@carlosmetalzone]

As always excellent video Ola

[@resington]

Very cool of Mesa to do this.

[@chrisloud1976]

Awesome demo Ola, really honest review 🤘🏻

[@ABHORRANCE831]

More bass, more gain approx 9 min in is the sound! The Triple Rectifier after is also great. Great representation of the classic Rectos. However, I'd love them to also include the Multiwatts and Badlander.

[@RichardGarcia93]

Thank you Ola! This is so cool.

ToneX is the only ampsim plugin I was really blown away by! I'll definitely get the physical version with the Mesa pack :)

This guitar looks very cool!

[@georgezorbas9036]

Super HOT input...should be dialed back!

[@JamieK_89]

Tried some of these sounds out yesterday, pretty good but I still think there a better user made captures that people have uploaded themselves and you can access for free (if you have the Tonex plugin). Some of these guys really know what they're doing and got some amazing metal tone captures. More than i'll ever need.

[@Chreag]

Who would you recommend for the best free Mesa captures?

[@manfredworner8528]

I been watching your old vids When you were dressed in yellow You were playing vendetta 2 HD It’s sounds good as anything today

Awesome! Hey Ola, can you pleeeeez get Richard Kruspe on your show to talk about the early IR days and killer TONES??? That dude did a lot to bring this new dimension of metal tone into digital and he deserves an appearance! RAMMSTEIN 🤘🤘

[@kacperszewczyk6881]

Hey ola, loved the video as always, I just have a quick question, I’ve seen that you restocked on the chop chop blitz guitar, once it sells out will it keep coming back in stock once in a while as I’d love to save up and buy this guitar for myself. Love from Poland 🇵🇱 🤘

[@twomuchworth]

Can you do another amp in the room vid series ola its been awhile since you did that series loved hearing you play certain metal songs with mics placed everywhere

[@lintrason1562]

The Line 6 Helix and Helix Native do the thing you mentioned at 10:25. Works at home with Native and move the presets on the Helix to go on the road.

[@raykassal7872]

i dont think theres a better bang for your buck than the helix

[@karloschavezmetal]

It's actually the main reason I still own it. I have an HX Stomp inside my band's rack, and use Helix Native at home to track guitars. Once I get a good tone, I upload it to the HX. There is no better option for this combination as of this moment, specially because of the size.

[@poulwinther]

Good captures just feel much better to me.

[@-jk-2580]

It has same the familiarity for sure. But really, it sounded like plugin. Been playing Mesas for 20 years now, so I’d say I recognize the tone instantly.

[@Chrisshallperish]

I have the mercurial audio reaxsis. I love that plug in. Not really big on the rectifier.

[@rockyowitz]

Howdy Ola, question for plugging into Tonex. I've been tweaking the input gain from Tonex (and other amp sims) to get it right, but i was seeing some of your chugs were red lighting. Are you just keeping it at unity and letting it ride? Interfaces and such differ, but was curious since hearing about that input stuff in another video

[@consumer365]

Out of all the amps i tried on the tonex a random dual rectifier i downloaded is what ive been using at practice. Ive found a few that are better than the old valvestate already

[@ZeeEm1991Gr]

Sounds awesome. That being said, 3:50 is basically my one gripe with profilers. Did someone put a compressor with a slow release on the audio track? When you're using your own IR, I'm noticing a momentary volume drop on the chugs. 10:30 Dude, what! Amplitube 5 has been out for 3 years now 🤣🤣🤣 It's terrific for experimenting with pedal placement, signal chains, how every piece of gear interacts with each other etc. But some of their high gain models have much less gain than they should have (looking at you, Mesa!), and for some fuck-all reason, the three standard mics (Dynamic 57, Condensers 87 and 414) are horribly out of phase with all the other mics - and as of now, they haven't gotten around to addressing that. 3 years now...

[@xBlackShadowsZz]

Clean sounds good

[@djabthrash]

Sounds badass

[@soundstorm9508]

Sounds decent. I'm still buying their software to capture my own rigs though, which I think they're superior at judging by other KZbin clips.

[@Cherry_Sunburst]

BRILLIANT.

[@smokymack]

The little chuckle after tallica....😂 Found out today that the Schecter guitar i ordered 2 years ago isnt coming because they no longer make it in left handed... 😥

[@andreimagic]

Excellent video! I can play lamb of god with any with these amps? Without changing the parameters...

[@guitarfiend151]

Is that an overlay of video on audio so as to minimize the inherent delay, as opposed to a live capture? My Axe II has been killing me with pick-to-ear lag. It's milliseconds, but I can't help, but hear that response just lagging :(

[@killingjar1965]

Good sounds for a modeler. What was that weird ducking sound after you loaded your IR? It sounded like some ducking compression.

[@SINBADsRiffs]

That first 3 seconds of the video was hilarious 😂

[@Andy_Yates]

Hey Ola, I just picked up your "The One" IR for your shop and it sounds great with my Neural plugin. Just wondering if you offer this one for sale on your shop?

[@theparanoidmetalshow741]

Ive been thinking about getting the tonex but now the new two notes opus came out so Im not sure. Ive been using the genome plugin and the tonex plugin (freeware) and seems to me that the genome has better sound, the tonex sounds a bit gritty. Not sure if the pedal tonex has better quality than the plugin. Any recommendations? Please. The opus or tonex? Thanks community and Ola!

[@TheDeedeeFiles]

Awesome

[@g.t.5735]

Good day, Ola.

[@Dimcass00]

Minor correction...the Tonex Pedal doesn't play any role in capturing. You need the Tonex Max app and a) Audio interface and reamp box B) Audio interface and the Tonex capture box.

[@CoreyCashRiff]

Blown away

[@vovindequasahi]

Sounds really good! Amplitube is actually a viable replacement of hardware these days. Geez it sounds fucking excellent, and that is without you tweaking anything.

[@eamonahern7495]

Sounds mix ready with the overdrive pedal

[@onehandslinger1475]

How come Ola didn't try Empress Heavy Menace?

[@jadkins69]

Doesn't Helix have it where you can move sounds from plugin to unit?

[@simonbertrand6709]

Hey! Very nice. Sorry in advance if you made it already, but if not, could you make a short video where you show how you plug your guitar to your computer? What do you use? Thanks a lot 😊.

[@OlaEnglund]

No worries, there are plenty of videos out there showing this. What you need is some sort of an external audio interface. If you're a beginner I highly suggest the UAD Volt 1 that has a single microphone and guitar input. It's fairly well priced for its quality. When I'm doing videos at the office (like in this video for instance) I'm using a bigger audio interface called the Apogee Ensemble. But in general it works the same as the smaller audio interfaces except that it has more inputs/outputs/features. Good luck man!

[@23parisarm]

349usd for the tonex pedal/99 for the plugins VS 2000usd for quad cortex+119usd for plugins and my QC STILL can NOT integrate with the NDSP plugins!

[@timolebeck6405]

Build your sounds in the plugin and export it to the device? Helix can do that for years now. I mean it costs more than double the price, but it can definitely do exactly that^^ I‘m really tempted by the ToneX with the Mesa Pack. I use Amplitube CS with the Dual Rectifier and 2x12 Rectifier Cab at home for years now and it sounds really good🤘

[@jettisonedguy257]

The Randall Warhead in Tonex is a Beast. Cheers for testing this s$%t Ola.

[@cblizard6850]

I love it

[@j.w.5485]

Was the the direct sound or were we hearing it through your microphone?

[@crionics99]

The Positive Grid Bias Amp head will do the same thing with loading a preset you like onto the actual hardware as well, but it falls way behind due to the lack of effects. PG missed a big trick with that mistake. Looks like ToneX really took advantage of that

[@Gloomshimmer]

should the input clip the whole time?

Where can I find the All Aboard the Chug IR?

You should consider doing a Godless Endeavor cover with the vocals cut out by Nevermore? 🤷 just a thought 💭

which one is better this one or the neural dsp mesa boogie mark 2c+ suite ? can u do a comparison video on these two

Well this one has a handful of snapshots you can’t tweak but more amps. The neural one has 2 different iic+ amps that you can tweak and adjust.

[@jackflynn-oakley1937]

can you get Master Of Puppets sound from this?

[@SpookyApparition]

I'm new to guitar plug-ins... how the hell do you guys decide which ones to buy? There are so many... it's overwhelming. I'm also confused by all the "ecosystems." Like to use this pack in my DAW, I have to buy a separate Tonex application or something?

[@ozzzzy52]

you can load 3rd party plugins as a VST or AAX in any DAW. then just create a new track, load the plugin as an instrument and you're good to go choosing and discovering is part of the fun I find. I usually try to download them first and try them out, if they are baller, I buy them Currently very happy with Guitar Rig 7.

[@sanyok9939]

where do you get your momentum dude?

[@ScrubDaddy265]

I think with all the digital models, it’s best to use them to APPROXIMATE the tone you want, but not expect it to REPLICATE it. I love my Diezel model, but having never played one, I have no idea if it’s accurate or not. And it really doesn’t matter.

[@capoman1]

Need to test with a mix.

[@tsalagi78]

🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@MC-og5ss]

I tried it and I think it's good but not great. Mercuriall Rectofire, ML 5 & Fluff offer better tone (to my taste) for each individual amp. If you were to buy these during one of the many sales they are also roughly the same price. I was very excited about the release but it is a pass for me.

[@bc454irocz89]

TESTAMENT hell yea

[@PaulEubanks]

Amazing! NeuralDSP has been promising to do this with the Quad Cortex for years now, but while they’ve been fucking around and not accomplishing anything, IK/ToneX just threw it in their faces. Strong work!

[@coreyclark6505]

Wish they did a better job of what the 2C+ was known for, but they sound pretty good otherwise. Kinda just makes me wanna go out and hunt down an old 2 Channel Dual Rectifier though.

[@iLLuzion1st]

A triple came up in my area for cheap recently and I just couldn’t buy it at the time i was so bummed.

[@stevewoodyt]

So… there’s a lot of talk about the proper way to run into IK’s amp sims. How does Ola Englund do it? He is doing something different from me cause I can’t get their other Mesa amps to sound like this

[@trevorhouck3148]

Imagine the cost of all the real mesa equivalents. A mkiic+ from the 80s alone can go up to $10,000 USD.

[@enricoincognito8595]

You cant just do captures with the unit. The tonex by itself has no impedance matching features at all. You need to buy an reampbox.

[@_antwalls]

Its sounds good, but you were clipping all the demo :/

[@Ryan_Messenger]

These tones pair well with coffee. I checked.

[@VRainier]

I don't understand why the Tonex pedal always sounds amazing in many KZbin videos, yet I could never get mine to sound anything like it. I ended up getting a quad cortex and the difference is night and day out of the box. Just yesterday I opened the Tonex plugin to give it yet another chance, and it sounded as bad as ever. I've even started to think that people who rave about the Tonex are being paid to do so, but in this (Ola's) case, I trust your reviews. It would be great if you could release a tutorial so that idiots like me can learn to use it correctly and make it sound as good as yours in this video.

[@rockyowitz]

The main thing on this is going to be three-fold: Your input gain going in (not necessarily the top end interfaces) The input gain setting in Tonex, or other plugins And the impulse/cab used. I've gotten Tonex to sound good (to my ears), but I'm still dialing the first two things in. Ola looks like he is hitting the front end of Tonex hard with the red lights, which is surprising but maybe his actual interface is better equipped for something like that. There are a few videos about getting the input stuff right with amp sims and interfaces, but I can't remember the titles off hand. I hope this helps!

[@andyzpam5441]

add a gain or boost clean pedal and done

[@TheOnlyGuitarFather]

Almost bought this. Glad I didn’t. Tonenet has better for free

[@Liberty_76]

The fact that the GEQ on the IIC+ is fixed is an epic fail IMO.

[@yevhenfedorets6509]

I think Mesa is underdeveloped in the metal aspect, I especially disliked Fixed EQ. My friend also said it didn't sound tight enough. It would be nice to see a review of the Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+ Suite from Neural DSP.
