Nano Cortex vs Tonex - Comparing the New Tonex Effects

[@marziograva]

It would be great to get your Lonestar + Plexi captures on my Nano! Is that an option? I use it on my QC and it is just perfect. Cheers man, always superb content for QC ans NC!

[@davlavmusic7070]

You would need to just do a capture on the Nano of the QC preset (with ask the effects turned off, of course). I did a video on that a while back.

[@marziograva]

@ oh, right. I need to try that out then. Thanks man!

[@jimtalltheislandbrothers6639]

With the pre/post options, a compressor and a screen to show visually what is going on I think Tonex is a No-brainer for me.

[@davlavmusic7070]

They do need to get the direct editing from the app to the device, imo. It's annoying to have to edit, save, and then copy to the device before you can hear it via the device.

[@jimtalltheislandbrothers6639]

They seem to be listening so hopefully that will come. The software is a bit clunky as well.

[@soundbelch1600]

@@davlavmusic7070 Tonex will sell plenty more units because they have effets but direct editing will massively improve the retention rates.

[@Vertigo504]

It's coming in the next big software update. Maybe around January?

[@JandNandJ]

Very good video, thank you!

I eased into the ToneX world after being a very happy HX Stomp user by going with the ToneX One. I use the ToneX 1 with thru my HX loop. Really like the amp captures. However the added effects in the update are just too inconvenient to setup and use on the ToneX 1. You have to create a new preset with the new effects and amp model. You can't apply the new effects on existing amp models in your library.

I like tonex captures best. I do wish it had fx loop, but i guess the fx are plenty. It'd be nice if you could add a stock style overdrive before captures also. I prefer the captures on the tonex though, and the company behind it.

[@TNTales]

For me I think if the Nano had an fx loop it would be killer. Then I could use it like a regular amp with my pedalboard. Also don't forget that the Nano can capture in the box with no additional hardware.

[@davlavmusic7070]

Understood. My comments on this video are only about the effects.

[@TNTales]

@@davlavmusic7070 Valid, I just wanted to add what I thought might make the nano better for me.

[@Butchzillaa]

So you can’t plug the nano into a power amp and cab?

[@TNTales]

@@Butchzillaa I would think you could connect it to a Poweramp same as any preamp. But you'd want a capture that's DI, otherwise your capture has the speaker baked in. Think of it as a full signal chain model if you mic the speaker.

[@davlavmusic7070]

@@Butchzillaa The Nano can be used with a power amp/cab without a problem. The IR can be disabled (assuming the cab isn't built into the capture itself).

[@JudgeFredd]

Nice comparaison

[@underthethrone668]

My question...sorry it is a bit away from the subject. I always make the wrong decision....I wont be Capturing anything. I just want great sounding real sounding (recorded) amps . Warmth/feel of a tube amp...relatively speaking I will be using on board or bought packs.

[@adamwilcox6405]

Did you say they were close in price??

[@davlavmusic7070]

The full Tonex is $400 and the Nano is $550. With the Nano you get the ability to create captures which I think is likely rationale for the extra $.

[@adamwilcox6405]

@davlavmusic7070 fair enough. Closer than I realised.

[@davlavmusic7070]

The Tonex One is much cheaper - $180. That's what I'm using.

[@underthethrone668]

LOL In Canada it is $499 Tonex and $799 Nano....

[@illgottengains1314]

Yeah TONEX is desperate for some new hardware with Bluetooth built in.

[@gastecka]

nano is warmer, it reminds me more of real amps.... but tonex sounds good

[@davlavmusic7070]

Keep in mind that the tone on the Nano was captured from the Tonex. I was trying to keep it as close as possible to focus on the effects. But I agree the Tonex does seem to have more to end.

[@NO-TALK-GuitarPlugin]

Nano Cortex has an enormous issue : it doesn’t offer any compressor, needed for having great cleans sounds. Also ToneX is way more accurate compared to my nano capture and kemper captures/profiles

[@1Guug]

It’s really depends on what you’re looking for. Nano cortex has gapless switching, balance outputs and profiling built-in. I had to tone X sold it, and got the nano cortex and I’m happy with it for me it works

[@RusticSpirit]

@@1Guug Same here.

[@nikhilnarahari8424]

Great video! What you say right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6XMfpiGp6l2oMk is the biggest reason I'm always going to favor the Nano Cortex over my Tonex. I have a Keeley Aria out in front of it and I'm as happy as can be with it. It's just plug and chug

[@davlavmusic7070]

Completely agree. I've heard from others that direct editing is on the Tonex road map. It can't come soon enough imo. The Neural apps are way more user friendly.

[@nikhilnarahari8424]

@@davlavmusic7070 That would be awesome! Honestly though, there's still just something about the Nano - even though the effects are way more limited both in terms of varieties and signal chain order, I just feel it all "just works better" (and sounds better to my ear)... I also love how tweakable the effects are - it's so easy to dial in EXACTLY what I need to get lost in my playing for hours

[@Butchzillaa]

@@nikhilnarahari8424can you use the nano into a pedal board set up? Can it connect to a power amp and cab?

[@allicouldbleed]

QC sound "without break" my ears....tonex had some arthefact in the sound and "no laid back" on my ears👂
