This is why your TONEX sounds bad...(Pedalboard Build Part 4)

[@cortextual]

Let's add a little reverb and delay... goes into another dimension.

[@absolutevalue23]

thank you so much for the emphasis on achieving clean tones on these things. youre one of the first who i know hunts for the same sound im hunting for.

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Oh cool. Thanks

[@jackprice7828]

The new update makes it so much easier to have a visual in the app to make that adjustment.

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Oh I know!

[@bwgoddard]

From my research the gain knob on the tonex does the exact same thing as the input trim basically like a clean boost. So you can set your input trim at one value and then use the gain knob to adjust for individual guitars and save the presets with the gain setting you want for that guitar but set the input trim one time and leave it alone. Ps thanks for all your work on your channel!

[@TheBukman]

This makes most sense. You can then save the amp gain setting as a preset for the particular guitar which you can't do with the input trim as it is global. Input trim has to be set and forget.

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Agreed! I read that in the manual after I recorded this video. But just like I said in the video I would find an input gain that works with all my guitars - meaning back it off to where it sounds the best with my most gain-y guitar (in my case about -2) and then adjust the gain and volume with the knob per guitar.

[@demanfredo]

Awesome, thank you for always putting up great content 🤘🏻 Preston Pedals makes excellent products, did you run into any phase issues with the dual amp setup?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

I’ve noticed playing around with different captures from different people that sometimes one gain stage to the next will be out of phase with each other from the same amp. When I was recording this video, I did not run into any phasing issues with these amps in particular.

[@bobmitchell1970]

Oof! I wasn't liking the way the Tonex One mounted to my pedalboard because of the rubber base and here you just peeled it off. I don't know why I didn't think to do that. 😳 As always, great stuff, Jimmy!

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Haha thanks man!

[@hexlovesness89]

At 10:20 of the video, what reverb and delay are you using on the stomp? Sounds amazing!

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

It’s the transistor tape delay (custom settings) paired with the dynamic Hall Reverb (stock settings mostly)

[@gregsteffey1266]

The clean was good. But for overdrive, Is this the new worship, fizzy gain clouded by all of the reverb and delays. Thanks for the tips on the Tonex though

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Thanks man. Yeah, the reverbs definitely do that more when running into the amps.

[@ryuhell69]

Hi! Awesome video as alway! Please, can you explain the fx chain with tonex one? I thought that it should be in the fx loop, so you can put reverb and delay after it, but i can see you are using it different. Thank you!

[@suede__]

Dang! You use a plastic pry bar for your pedals? I have to put like 0.5 in.sq. of dual lock or I can never get the pedals off my board!

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

You’re not wrong. I tend to put too much because I used to use the cheap stuff and on little pedals they’d always come lose. Now I got the good stuff and I keep forgetting!

[@MxGundy2]

Thank you for your video! I do have a lingering question, one that seems to be skipped over a lot. Maybe you can help? For context (if it helps) Im running mono and playing through a tele. I am new to the world of modeling, and one thing i've found with the Tonex one, is after i load up my amp (from either the presets or from the "Home" tab), the tonex overall volume level somehow seems to be significantly reduced. I have a similar setup as you, running [guitar > Tonex > interface]. I have noticed while connected to the computer and playing any amp from the library, volume isn't an issue. Its only when i load the amp to the pedal when it becomes an issue. Is this because of the volume trim or is it something else? Lastly, when you grab an amp and load it up (from presets or library), do you make all your amp adjustments on the pedal itself or within the software, or a little bit of both? Or would it be 'better' as in simpler, to leave everything in the software at noon, then adjust on the pedal? I watch these videos and everyone seems to get just amazing tone out of this pedal, but man, im on the struggle bus with this one. 😅

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

I do find that I get less volume into my interface than let's say the HELIX...I haven't had too much time to investigate but seems like a good video idea when I get it figured out! Thanks

[@MxGundy2]

@@HeyWorshipLeader Thanks for the feedback! I actually resolved my issue. I was messing around with the volume limiter and global volume and it resolved all my issues. I found +3.0 db on the limiter through a tele sounds pretty good through a 66 AC30!

[@MrCgar18]

my tones are fine but im getting a high pitch noise when using it at times as a od pedal.its weird when i unplug power supply and use usb its worse.and it really isnt a hi gain pedal im using even whe its not engaged it does it,any ideas?

[@DrBadLlama]

I want one of those dual amp boxes for my dual UA amp sims.

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

That’d be cool

[@nomad100hd]

It would have been really cool if he put the ability to switch between ToneX pedals into the riser.

[@gregsteffey1266]

DC Pedals has a solution to do that

[@bobbywaldschmidt6825]

Thank you!

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

You're welcome!

[@JimmyKay1976]

Any way to set the pedal so that presets are at the same volume?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Yes, each capture had its own clean volume you can set it at since they may have been captured at different levels

[@MattLawrence3]

Great stuff Jimmy! Thanks you!

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Glad to!

[@erikhartley2494]

How are you running them in stereo? I have several AAW profiles and I can’t get them to sound right in stereo. I am using a Walrus Canvas.

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

Sometimes they are out of phase. Do you think that’s what the issue is?

[@erikhartley2494]

@@HeyWorshipLeader I tried flipping it in my DAW and it didn’t seem to make a difference. Not sure.

I need a video like this for the hxstomp, with a long chain of pedales the volume turns to weak in my experience

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

What is your pedal set up like?

[@kristenm3644]

Another reason to only have one guitar.

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

True!! if you find one you really like then that’s really the only one you need

[@kabassa]

why not change the guitar volume also for trim? Nice video anyway.

[@diecinuevemx]

Hey! I really like your reviews, thank you for putting out really cool content out. I would really like if you could try to do a review on other modelers like the Hotone Ampero Stomp or the Mooer GE250, especially for the tone capture feature of this multifx. Cheers from Vietnam!

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

I have to see if anyone can send me some units to test

[@diecinuevemx]

@@HeyWorshipLeader It'll be awesome! Mooer has the GE multifx series. The GE250/GE300/GE300lite and the preamp live are capable of doing tone captures, while some of their other products can only load the captures that you can download from their website. Also, I believe they have an app that you can use on an iPad to capture amps as well.

[@Revivalroomcovington]

When I set I put trim to the solid green light, I get a loud constant high pitch hiss. When I turn input trim down goes away but it’s not where it’s designed to be. Any work around a for this ?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

That doesn’t sound right. I’m not sure what that could be

[@danielNTBD]

Doesn’t look like they ship world wide? Only US 😢 I want The Deputy One 🇳🇴

[@propersucio]

OR you can set input trim on the pedal itself, get LED feedback on how hot the signal is, and not need to bring a laptop along to your gig. 🙄

[@KingCracker.24]

Did this dude really just play the Wii sports song to test Amps?

[@HeyWorshipLeader]

You know it 😂

@@HeyWorshipLeader bro what chair do you have? I need a new one but I need one that I can move the arms out the way

[@LEUNN_]

the power not being isolated on 2 digital pedals is concerning as far as noise goes

[@The_fuzz_buzz]

I was thinking the same thing. That’s typically a big no no.

[@prestonpedals]

In certain and specific cases, you could run into issues sharing digital power. If you are on an isolated power supply of high quality you won’t have any issues. Usually the reason people have issues is when the milliamp requirement is high for both pedals, between different pedals/manufacturers, or the initial power source is not isolated. Not to say I have tried every combination and every scenario, but in all my testing I have had zero issues!

[@LEUNN_]

@@prestonpedals if this happens to be an issue in any case, you could just simply omit using that input and run power to each pedal from the power supply

[@prestonpedals]

@@LEUNN_ exactly! Very good point!
