NEW PRODUCT: IK Multimedia AXE I/O One Audio Interface! | They Knocked It Out Of The Park Again!

[@willgo7898]

... can you clarify - with this interface (and really any AXE I/O interface) you don't need the Tonex Capture hardware (box). Is that correct? The advantage of this new "one" interface is the lower price, but in reality it has a reduced # of inputs. It has bundled software (but you'd get an expanded version of that with the purchase of a Tonex pedal). With that in mind, and respectfully, why are you considering this such a break through?

[@MusicianStuff]

One thing that people need to consider of between Axe i/o One and Solo is the dynamic range, Axe Solo have 117db while Axe One only 108 db on instrument input

[@Rake5k]

Finally an audio interface with variable input impedance. If you're modelling a low impedance pedal like a fuzz face or a tube screamer, it's actually the only way to get the correct sound and feel. Their modelling stuff is really good too, awesome that it's bundled. If I didn't have an interface yet, this would definitely be the one I would get. Thanks for the review, Jason!

[@RapttorX]

what do you mean "finally" ...theres been 2 axe I/O audio interfaces with that function for a few years now

[@Rake5k]

@@RapttorX oh cool, didn't know that, never heard of them before. The common ones (Scarlett, UR22 etc) only offer hi-z on/off

[@RapttorX]

@@Rake5k ye well they are not really in the scarlett or ur22 price range, more like the Clarett range. Probably why they created the latest one to fit into the lower price range too.

[@ZacharySaucier]

So it’s really just. This unit. And my amp micd up is all i need with the software to make a tone model? That’s bananas

[@naiphodeo]

This is SO PERFECT for me!

[@sonidojamon]

Came straight to your channel as soon as I saw they released it!! I wonder how TONEX capturing works with just one input! Do you have to switch from guitar input to MIC input in the middle of the process? (I'm asking before watching, will probably edit later😅) EDIT No need to use guitar input!! Great!! This settles it! My new live rig: AXE I/O One + iPhone (Amplitube+TONEX) + a MIDI controller pedalboard (any recommendations besides Behringer FCB1010?)

[@JasonSadites]

Haha, thanks! It is a great little interface. The guitar instrument input was never needed to actually complete the capture process, only to audition the tones after. So with AXE I/O One, you would simple use the IK audio files in Tonex to create and audition the tone models during creation and then when complete simply swap your mic input to your guitar input and rock 🤘 Hope that helps!

[@sonidojamon]

Just edited my comment, see what you think! 😊Don't need expression/volume control, though

[@WarzoneVictoryWins]

@@JasonSadites Can you create your own Tonex audio files yet for sound testing? If not, IK needs to implement this.

[@grazianolongo5900]

Great great job Jason, as usual👍👍. Just a question: I’ve just bought one Axe I/O One and wonder if I can go straight from the soundcard to the FOH (my very simple gear: tuner-NUX Cerberus-Tonex pedal-Axe I/O one). Thank for your time and your answer. Have a nice time and keep on making this high quality content and clarifying videos!

[@JasonSadites]

Thanks so kindly and glad you enjoy the content :-) In your case I would just go directly from Tonex Pedal to FOH, no real need for AXE I/O One in this case. Hope that helps :-)

[@michaelsaunders6453]

So when dialing In a tone, where should I set the Z Tone knob at?

[@benadoeffects]

As always, I enjoy and learn a lot from your videos-one question for you. I just got myself into the world of the Tonex Pedal, which can function as an interface. Is there a benefit of adding the Axe I/O One in conjunction with the Tonex pedal, or will it be redundant? Thank you.

[@JasonSadites]

Glad you enjoy the videos! I wouldn't say you need an external interface unless you were planning to create your own tone model captures. Tonex Pedal is an interface but I wouldn't say a "full featured" interface. Really well depend on what your needs are. Hope that is helpful :-)

[@elishamwita1850]

...Can You use it with neural dsp pluggins?

[@TheOklep]

of course

[@mohitrahaman]

yes ofc

[@revelationevents2323]

They should work on their cables. I’ve had terrible experiences with the lightning cables that come with the iRig products. They break very fast. And those cables cost almost $40. The cables suck

[@Hartov11]

I still don't understand what are the options to use it live on stage without computer or tablet?

[@RobotShlomo]

Stupid question; can this be used for streaming as well as recording?

[@mannymejia7972]

So does this unit replace the capture box?

[@WarzoneVictoryWins]

I'm confused. I was using the tonex pedal as an interface and sending the output from the software to my power amp and cab. I wonder if using this interface would provide a significant increase in audio quality. Does this make the capture box obsolete?

[@Ryckydoo]

well, just got one, connected on a XPS 15 i9 12th gen, 32 gig ram...clip as hell even with buffer at 128. Very disappointed

[@erik2446]

no understand

[@therockzones]

Hello friend! This audio interface can be unlinked from the account, for example, if I want to sell it later?

[@mattcgtx4809]

Is there a good way to send 2 mics to the single input of the axe1 for capture to ToneX, a blender or small mixer or is that a bad idea??

[@MelloState]

Finally an interface under $200

[@sergeev322]

Hello! Can you tell me how the interface will work without software (AmpliTube 4 Deluxe 10)? What can be used for free to work with the interface without software?

[@kudtarkarsandroid2500]

Totally confused why this is different from their current audio interface

[@JasonSadites]

Less expensive and gives everyone all the tools to use Tonex to create tone models. Pretty simple actually.

[@ArtoftheDial]

@@JasonSadites Other than removing the extra input in Axe I/O solo the question is what corners did they cut to get "$170 off," Otherwise why didn't they just drop the price on the current lineup instead of creating yet another interface they have to support? I'm all for lowering the price of entry point here as keeping the reamp/capture ability in a cheap interface is great (though I also expect a flood of poor sounding captures on tone net as previously you had to be fairly invested in gear purchases to create them). I own both the full I/O and ToneX Pedal - so don't need it personally but my interest is related to others I advise gear purchases to.

[@RapttorX]

just an even more cut version of Axe I/O Solo with a lower price

[@kudtarkarsandroid2500]

@@ArtoftheDial Thanks. That makes sense. It intrigues me. I own two of their interfaces. So it is strange to release this as something different, instead of accommodating product pricing.

[@mananakoa2412]

This is a good entry level and it does everything a guitarist would want.

[@mattcgtx4809]

Would this integrate / expand my ToneX Pedal / Helix setup up or be redundant or conflict??

[@svart42]

How does the active/passive switch work, is it a pad?

[@Sylvain44]

Does that mean that the Tonex pedal will be able to capture things like a pedal or a pre-amp?

[@hockeyman2274]

Focusrite has been making interfaces under $200 for years.

[@ArtoftheDial]

No, the ToneX pedal does not have re-amping or profiling capabilites. There is no Mic Input on the ToneX pedal. It would have been amazing if they had that in such a small form factor. But if you want both a pedal and the ability to make your own profiles - you are going to be investing in 2 pieces of equipment (or more if your Audio interface isn't one of the few that has a re-amp out) where you would then need Re-Amp DI box in addition to your interface.

[@Sylvain44]

@@ArtoftheDial I'm not asking about microphone capture, but instrument level capture (pedal or preamp). The pedal does have an instrument output and input so it should work?

[@ArtoftheDial]

@@Sylvain44 Ahh, I haven't techincally tried it. But I can confirm that if you hookup the TONEX Pedal as an interface for the ToneX computer app that when you got to the modeler section it will allow you to select TONEX as the interface. That said, the diagram suggests you need to hook up a reamplication device between the tonex out and the stomp box you want to setup. I haven't tested the TONEX output so I don't know the impedance and level situation if it is doing something that is different than what you would get after the Re-Amp box.

[@Sylvain44]

@@ArtoftheDial I can confirm that it works, I was able to use the Tonex Pedal to capture my amp + load box 🥳 not ideal though because it only has one output so you can't compare directly the amp to the capture.

[@erik2446]

latency measurements?

[@szveszs]

Can I use Tonex presets onboard of this? Like, use it as a preamp without the computer.

[@mohitrahaman]

Processing of Tonex will be dependent by computer CPU. This is just like any other audio interface, but with unique variable impedance control and guitar oriented features.

[@AntonovichHicksenbrau]

1/L & 2/R are TRS Outputs ? as opposed to TS ? I am sending each output, 1/4" TS into 2 mono tracks on my mixer,.. what am I missing? - AXE I/O
