New ToneX Pedal by IK Multimedia | Guitar Check | Thomann

[@mightymikeamps9317]

I’m a trucker, and I ordered one from Sweetwater while out traveling the country. It’s waiting for me when I get home, and hopefully it will be perfect for out on the road!

[@szymonszymanski3]

ToneX is just amazing. They have created amazing and great sounding platform. Great demo guys 😊

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

And the best part is the community. So many made and share amazing amp captures. 👌 //Kris

[@Pulse2AM]

IK products are some of my favorite, ToneX, SampleTank 4, Syntronik 2 are all great! No need to lug big amps around anymore unless you want to.

[@christophernavage5793]

The pedal can store up to 150 presets at a time that model everything from modern metal rigs to individual pedals. What's more, if you've got a collection of impulse responses (IRs) you've collected, you can load them on the pedal as well to customize your selection of cabinets, and the pedal even has mic simulation built in, so you can plug straight into your DAW without having to sacrifice "room tone".

[@poison7512]

I'm putting this on a pedalboard with a Boss GT 1000 core. Double win for me.

[@notalkguitarampplug-insrev784]

Have it right now in front of me and it’s definitely better than my kemper in every way! Capture are much more accurate and most importantly the feel is better

[@stephenmestrada]

Except no stereo ins. RIP

[@douglasvaughn9349]

Better than Kemper..??. 1:47

[@rodericksterling3503]

How to do you amplify this? Would it go into an FRFR powered speaker?

[@frantisca]

Crazy...! I've got the software, but the pedal is just an awesome thing... They just have to include the missing link so that you PLAY like Brad Paisley, Bonamassa, EVH and what not ! =:-)))))) Cheers guys you're just too cool ! P.S. That LSL BadBone is just ridiculous...!! 💣🔈😱

[@gonzalomelo9607]

kemper should have done this a long time ago. IMO

[@markcalizo]

I actually waiting for them to make it. But i think i will wait no more!

[@IKilledTheDodo]

A lot of the capture demos I’ve heard are better than Kemper too, which makes this product even better IMO. Can’t wait to get mine!

[@Tone2town]

Dude they are too small of a company

[@IKilledTheDodo]

@@Tone2town Why? They've had the tech for years, so they could easily have taken out the capture part of their devices and made something similar to the ToneX pedal. A "Kemper Profile Player", if you will. I think they knew they had the edge (and monopoly for a while) on the capture thing, so why cater to those who want cheaper devices when people are buying the expensive gear anyway?

[@daviguitar2000]

Kemper blindly trusted his 10-year empire. The leader who doesn't update himself, stays behind. Kemper is still good equipment. But it fell behind in the face of new technologies. IK Multimedia reached new heights and will be in the lead for some time.

[@Krisisawake]

The dynamic is crazy. Very good video as always.

[@ferramirez4570]

Guillaume you were enjoying yourself with the drive section you must admit it! That was really nice mate! 👌

[@PreacherAtArrakeen]

Easier and cheaper to just use the software. Does this play well going into a P.A.? I agree, though. This is a giant step forward and doesn't cost the bomb that the big players charge. Now IK needs to update their pedalsbin Amplitube 5.

[@neildeakin4454]

It doesn't have XLR outs...

[@matzer8846]

Tone capture ... so true ... my amp tends to run away from me because i'm such a horrible player ... and i have to go after/capture him ... This is the reason i do play combos only because i'm to old and slow to capture an oversized MESA cabinet on wheels This stand alone box might be the thing to fit my style best: i tent to stay alone whenever i get over the first 3-5 bars

[@Sean_Plays_Guitar]

So far, there are four videos for this on my subscription channels. For the record, I watched this one first. 😂

[@ArvidNielsen]

The next iteration with an fx loop - I’ll get that one.

[@tictax319]

Nice to see this as a Hardware, would love to see it as a Mutli Effects Floor unit to compete the QuadCortex. ToneX has so much potential to give a feasible alternativ to the QC.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Hey, it looks like IK Multimedia went in another direction. Instead of putting everything in one pricey unit they made the separate X-Gear pedals so you can decide which one you want and which don't. It's more of a modular system, while the QuadCortex is an all-in unit. Cheers //Kris

[@tictax319]

@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses Thanks for your response. I actually just tought of matching this with a HX Effects. Because the Effects of the Helix are very good but i have a hard time with the Amp Sim in there. With Midi i could sync both units up and use the HX Effects for Switching the ToneX

[@nethbt]

@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses just curious on how the Tonex would mesh with cheaper alternatives like NUX or Valeton just for the effects alone. I have a Pod Go but it's way too bulky, planning to buy something from Amazon in the range of $150 just for the delay, chorus and whatnot

[@tictax319]

@@nethbt The NUX MG30 is a very nice board, but i didnt keep it because of the limited amout effects. The Amp Modeling is very good for the Price but to buy it just for Effects would be a waste of Money in my optinion. And it doesnt have Midi, so you would need to switch 2 Units. I have no experience with the Valetone but it seems better in terms of effects than the MG30. And the Valeton has Midi and Balanced Outputs wich the MG30 doesnt have.

[@mightymikeamps9317]

@@tictax319 I have an HX Effects sitting in a box I never use. I should try both together too.

[@peacefulruler1]

12:00 is awe inspiring

[@paulcamus8944]

Sounds phenomenal.

[@christophernavage5793]

Check the software: The TONEX Pedal is a self-contained guitar rig, powered by AmpliTube’s AI Machine Modeling, capable of storing up to 150 Tone Model presets at any one time, arranged across three banks of 50. These could be entire rigs, or a pedalboard, or any combination of amps, effects and speaker cabinet emulations. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

[@poison7512]

I don't think this pedal can do any kind of delay or chorus etc. Just amps, cabs, and reverb.

[@angelonofretti2977]

Hi guys awesome video as always! Does this have any kind of integrated Tube Screamer to boos the Tonex base amp model? Thanks!

[@realraven2000]

pretty cool, also sounded like there was a Gate in there?

[@enricofugazzi5206]

The ToneX sounds amazing, but even more amazing was the choice of music you guys selected to demonstrate the product (beautiful cleans or overdriven sounds). You have outdone yourself. Very, very, very tasty

[@robertgunter7230]

Can't agree dreadful noise

[@CountNetsrac]

It doesn't have a delay and neither an effect loop, does it? It's of course possible to put a delay pedal after the ToneX, but then you would have to switch it separately as long as it has no midi. In my opinion they should really have added an effects loop.

[@MotownGuitarJoe]

It's NOT a mult-effects unit. You CAN put IT into the effects loop of something like an HX Effects or HX Stomp, which is exactly what I intend to do.

[@christophernavage5793]

Not sure why everyone is missing the fact this can load into it pedals like tube screamer clone etc? It does effects, folks

[@Bluebear2016]

Delay? Modulation? Pitch?

Did we hear the DAW input from the ToneX? If so, how much post-processing did you do on the recording?

[@MW47742]

Great demo. I got the Tonex Pedal and try to find the „20.crunchy“ tone model you used in the beginning. Unfortunately I cannot find it. Could you please help me?

[@RogerMaya1]

well guys just download the demo software n play the 5th patch (Bright loud clean) fender tween, strum the song "long train running" to my ears it sounds to flat (plastic) specially the high strings, playing single notes its ok. first clean pacth on s-gear sound more natural to my ears. I wonder if the pedal sounds the same!

[@coolmacatrain9434]

Can you PLEASE explain what you re playing it through? is it going through that Marshall behind you both? Is it coming out of PA system not in shot? a mixture of both? or is it going straight into a DAW via a laptop/PC? Also, if it is coming from the Marshall Amp, wouldn't that change the sound of another "Amp profile" being played through it (you know, 'colour' the sound somewhat?? and how would you set the EQ/Controls on another Amp when using this Pedal .. flat? so many unanswered questions..

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Hi, as mentioned from 11:21 in the video we go directly into a DI box, so we're not using any amps. From the DI box we go straight into the audio interface and into the DAW. I hope that helps. Cheers //Kris

[@duesenberger]

Thx for this introduction. What speakers/cab did You output the ToneX sound?

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Thanks for watching! We simply used factory presets on the ToneX. From its output jacks we went straight into a DI box and into the recording interface. Cheers //Kris

[@jabberwocky7927]

Hi Guys, thanks for the vid. WHat tuner are you using on the pedal board? I cant find it on your gear page

[@Barry101er]

If I understand it correctly, the capturing feature seems like a game changer (pour moi).

[@ovivan79]

Kemper and the Quad Cortex have been doing this before. This is another contender with a great feature package joining the competition.

[@pauldncn1]

That’s a perfect piece of “ crossover” technology I love it Seems like it’s the best of both worlds

[@mikepadgett8074]

If you run this into a amp head do you run it in front of the amp or the fx loop. Great video btw 👍🏻👍🏻

[@martitakeabou7514]

I'd use it in the fxloop return of a solid state amp without the emulated cab. If you're using it as a modeller for overdrives, in front.

[@shipsahoy1793]

Do you guys do guitar heads, cabs, and combos? Don’t see it in Playlists 🤔

[@gregadam2046]

Awesome, how would I set this up to listen through headphones and play with a jam track?

[@picksalot1]

Sounds great! Can the ToneX also capture individual or multiple Effects Pedals, then place them in front of a ToneX captured Amp?

[@endezeichengrimm]

I would like to capture my tube amp. Might be worth a try.

[@riccardofederigi9191]

If i wanna end the chain from the tonex to a focursite scarlett 2i2 do I need a dibox or i can go directly?

[@tayk71]

Sounds great. What monitors are best for amp modeler playback. And or head phones.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

That is such a good and important question. Everyone will say something else because it's a subjective matter. We'll definitely make a video on full range speakers and other options soon. Cheers //Kris

Does this device have a built in power amp so you can use it straight to a cabinet or no

[@matzer8846]

Nice 👍 ... but does it 🪓 the FX ⁉

[@andrewdahlgren4350]

Is it only mono input? Saw that in the owner’s manual. No TRS? Are stereo wet effects after the amp the only option?

[@Bobby_Digital37]

Mono input, but stereo output left/right

[@TheBoondoggler]

Am I dreaming? I couldve sworn a few days ago in this same video you mentioned that this unit DOES NOT do capture. Weird.

[@RobvandenBoogaard]

It doesn’t. The software that comes with it allows you to capture amps en drive/distortion pedals, but you need a reamp box separately for it.

[@MrChickenking44]

Can this integrate with the plug-in so I won’t be using my cpu while recording?

No delay????

[@nethbt]

@@killerhit00 nope

[@BkBk-gy6vr]

No delay option at all? Then how are you supposed to get delay since there is no effects loop. Straight in the front doesn't work for me. Im also not going to be hooked up to a computer all the time.

Are the tones/sounds as good as a Fractal Fm3?

[@juancarlosprevostzarate7077]

Was just about to ask same...how does it compares to ax8 or FM3? Of course talking about amp and IR only, it is clear that some pedals would be need in front and after the Tonex...

[@andybelii]

What the best: tone x or hotone I ampero ?

[@eikida]

Does this works for an electric violine, too?

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

We haven't tried it yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It should sound great with an electric violin the same way as all other multi-effects pedals do. 👍 //Kris

[@thelowlifex9437]

Is it possible to use 4 cable method on this tl use it as a preamp?

[@mars6433]

No effects loop, no effects (Delay, chorus etc.) so, it' just a fancy distortion/over drive. Also, how fast is the switching and when you change presets, you have no idea where your tone settings are. sorry.

[@Bobby_Digital37]

Basically IK just threw down the gauntlet and told Helix and Kemper to suck it and for $200 less!!!!!!

[@BkBk-gy6vr]

No FX loop?

[@matlesterdivinagracia6528]

This would be the new kemper killer

[@MrTwulf]

Why they missed to have a effects-loop?

[@shreddyz]

The whole thing is line level so you could just plug it into effects.

[@mateuszbaduramusic]

@@shreddyz Yes but it has built in reverb so if You would use reverb from TONEX you need to send signal with reverb into external effects. In this case reverb is first in the effect chain, personally I use reverb as last effect in my signal chain.

[@shreddyz]

@@mateuszbaduramusic you can turn the reverb off

[@mateuszbaduramusic]

@@shreddyz I know. In that case reverb in Tonex Pedal will be unused and you need to buy stereo pedals (delay, chorus, additional reverb) if You have stereo settings in Tonex. Of course Tonex sounds great, it will do the job well on stage if someone need only reverb or record guitar parts in studio. I see some problems with sending signal straight to PA from TONEX PEDAL but probably I will buy it because of sound.

[@shreddyz]

@@mateuszbaduramusic fwiw outside of the reverb, everything else in Tonex is mono. There's no stereo profiles or IRs

[@vidma6]

can it do bass amps?

[@onedrumcomputeraday196]

yes ☝️🔈👌

[@floresjeanpaul6477]

Yes, for 1300 bucks less

[@svetloba13]

How do you connect a delay in fx loop?

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Super simple. You don't need a loop, since it's all line level signal. Put the delay, reverb and anything else after the ToneX. Done. :) //Kris

I don’t think it is so much of the price of the Quad Cortex or the Kemper. To me it is how huge they are. We are literally in 2023, I don’t think these companies understand the power of making something easily aaccessible to use on a already made pedal board. I will not just buy* something due to the fact that it has a touch screen or because it has lure of great German tech. No offense these companies are literally gonna get smashed when line 6 does there own version of a Captor/profile pedal. GAME-OVER! They have too much mula!
