I love the quality of your videos!! and all the info , you are truly the tone Sheperd

[@thetoneshepherd]

I appreciate that!

[@davidoliver3589]

Finally downloaded them all and I love the ac30 and Matchless paired! They sound amazing!!!

[@thetoneshepherd]

So glad you like them!!

[@edgardorivera69]

Wooooowww tremendo el cambio en el tonex con el Prosonic . Voy por los demás 💪🏼

[@chrisgarciaj16]

Hey! Just wondering where you would recommend the knobs to be on the tone x one? Since there arent numerical values im kinda eye balling them. Like the main parameters, gain, global volume and trim?

[@thetoneshepherd]

Gain I don’t touch but hit me up on Instagram for Input Trim and Global Volume instagram.com/thetoneshepherd?igsh=NGVhN2U2NjQ0Yg%3D%3D&

[@nickm.9474]

Sounds are incredible!!!

[@thetoneshepherd]

Thanks Nick!

[@devyntavares8144]

Hey brotha do you recommend the input trim at 8.5 to get the most out of your presets? Also I use mostly single coils: (Blondies and Ristrettos to be exact) what number choice of the amp captures would you recommend? I know it's all subjective but just a base feel for what you think would make it shine the best. TIA man

[@thetoneshepherd]

Yes, 8.5 for Input Trim is what I use. And for bright single coils I designed some AC30 presets for that purpose! But eventually all the amps will be updated with “warm” presets for single coils. As far as the number (gain) level, that’s totally subjective. I have humbuckers with lower output than some of my single coils so you just have to do it by ear.

[@devyntavares8144]

@@thetoneshepherd thanks buddy. I appreciate it!

[@thetoneshepherd]

Anytime 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@AlexGroen]

​@@thetoneshepherdIs that 8.5 only for your Captures? Or would you recommend it on others as well?

[@thetoneshepherd]

I believe mine and Tone Factor. Not sure about the others. You’d have to touch base with them to see where their ideal setting is.

[@ToneRangerAudio]

Love that hat!

[@thetoneshepherd]

Me too!

[@joben_magooch]

Hey Devan, this had me curious. I remember you'd previously been using the TF Tonex patches. Of course I'm not expecting you to dog on them or anything like that, but I'm wondering why the switch? Did you feel like you were lacking something or that something needed "fixed", or would you say it was more about just wanting to have your own specific tailor-made sounds?

[@thetoneshepherd]

Nothing at all to dog on the KINGS of tone! Tone Factor kills it! But I wanted something a bit more..."me"...for lack of a better term. Just trying to learn from them but take a step more towards originality. My amps, to my ears, are a little brighter than theirs on purpose...but still have plenty of warmth. And I also have some different amps than them too (and more on the way!) so it's been a fun way to keep me learning about what makes great tone and be able to harness the goodness of a real tube amp to then share with others. It's been a blast. But I totally support Tone Factor (I still own all their captures) as well as Worship Tutorials, Tone Junkie, AAW, etc. Every capture is a little different and can serve different guitars or different songs accordingly.

[@erikhartley2494]

So if you take the exact same capture and hard pan them on each Tone X, does it have phase issues? I only have a Walrus Canvas so I’m wondering.

[@thetoneshepherd]

It does not! You'll be all good 🤙🏼

[@erikhartley2494]

@@thetoneshepherd do your captures work ok with a Canvas!?

[@thetoneshepherd]

Absolutely!

[@erikhartley2494]

@@thetoneshepherd awesome!! I love Alter Amp Works but it seems most of them are not working well together unless they’re identical. Guess I gotta get yours now haha!

[@thetoneshepherd]

You do have to be careful with which amps pair together. I'm insistent that all my amps work well together and I've worked hard to make them complimentary.

[@markusjung8363]

Hi, I'm using my pedalboard with the dsm simplifier and also its fx-loop with some effects (reverb, delay, trem...). How can I use amp presets from the tone x one with my setup? Maybe connecting the tone x one to the dsm fx-return? I'm a little bit confused why no one talks about the tone x one and the missing fx-loop. It seems, that it doesn't matter, but I don't get it🤪🤪

[@thetoneshepherd]

The simplifier is an amp sim already right? So you’d use one or the other, not both in tandem. Unless perhaps you loaded overdrive captures in the ToneX.

[@markusjung8363]

Right! It's an amp/cab-sim. I think I'll just try a little bit, maybe tonex into fx-return and bypassing the cab-section of tonex. Would you or do you use tonex as your amp/cab-sim with all your effects in front? Thank you for your support!

[@thetoneshepherd]

@@markusjung8363 Bypassing the cab section on ToneX doesn't yield the "best" result in my opinion. Captures that have been intentionally done of the amp head alone work best for that purpose. I do use my Tonex (2 of them) at the very end of my chain for stereo amps. No need for the FX loop.

[@markusjung8363]

Do you have any overdrives before the tonex? Do you use overdrive before or after the modulation effects? I don't like overdriven sounds going into delays or Something Like that.

[@thetoneshepherd]

Overdrives before the amps, yes. I put everything before the amps actually. Comp > Pitch > Drive > Modulations > Delay > Reverb > Amps

[@seongbinchoi917]

Great playing and quality of the video! I love your demo. I am curious if tonex one and tonex have difference in terms of sound quality or EQ difference (some say big box has more bass, but it can be adjusted by turning the bass knob) considering this, one’s not better than the other right? and secondly, why do you prefer tonex or tonex one over Uafx amp sim pedals??

[@thetoneshepherd]

They do not have a any difference in tone. I did a specific video on that subject! kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5e7fWyGnrRqnpI I prefer the Tonex over UAFX simply because I love the tone of my own amps and I get to capture those precisely.

[@seongbinchoi917]

@@thetoneshepherd Thank you so much!

[@aguitarhero007]

Did you move to Tonex from the Fm9?

[@thetoneshepherd]

Yes and no. I’ve always preferred my hybrid analog rig and was previously using Iridiums on that rig but moved to ToneX. I still have the FM9 and still plan on releasing presets for it. But that’s been delayed.

[@aguitarhero007]

@@thetoneshepherd I get that, I just wasn’t sure if you were unhappy with the Fm9 in comparison or if you are a pedal board guy lol fair enough. Love the content!

[@thetoneshepherd]

I'll likely always prefer the analog world. Digital is convenient but I just like analog.

[@joshfirlotte]

They’re so good! Which one of the prosonic/ac30 would you pair with the matchless?

[@thetoneshepherd]

Thanks! I have that info in the “Read Me” file also, but I personally use: TS AC30 1 - G12M TS PROSON 1 - G10M TS MCLUB 2 CLN - G12M

[@joshfirlotte]

@@thetoneshepherd awesome, thanks so much

[@roeljorna5776]

Too bad there are so many fx on, it's hard to hear the actual sound of the amps...

[@thetoneshepherd]

My primary audience mostly plays with these kinds of effects so it's contextual for them. But I do realize I should also include dry samples too. For that reason, on my newest capture demo video, I provided dry examples. See this video starting at 5:27 kzbin.info/www/bejne/onndm5mueqetY7c
