Just found your channel after my friend Matt on his EGSource channel tested your ToneX captures. Needless to say he loved them and mentioned that FOH guys said they needed the least EQ changes out of all that he's used. Having just bought two ToneX Ones, man these things are incredible and make amp hunting so much fun! Add to that the fact that we both play Duesenberg Starplayer TVs, what's not to like? Love your heart and your skills, blessings and keep going strong!

It makes sense that the 0.25 msec difference in latency results in you hearing "comb filtering" when you add the two signals together. However, when using two tonex devices in a dual amp setup where one amp is panned full right and one full left, I don't think the 0.25 msec difference should not be an issue. You get the same effect if you are listening 3 inches closer to one of the monitors. (Sound travels about 1 foot in 1 msec.)

Thank you so much for the test! Tonex ONE was a bit louder in your test, so I'm 99.9% sure that they are identical in terms of the processing. It's surprising that ONE has the smaller latency, it should be the other way around, but it's fine with me, as I think I'm going to purchase it :)

Well, to be fair, the clip where I "interrupted" the main video was a different thing. When I compared the Big Box TONEX and TONEX ONE they were the exact same volume.

That's how i measure when it's in the sub ms

I’m not sure you’re completely understanding the issue. The issue is not how hard it is to line up the two wave forms. The issue is, in order for a null test to work perfectly, both pedals would have to have the exact same gain and volume settings. ANY variation in gain, volume, tone or alignment would make the null test to still reveal some audio. But since the input trims are impossible to match perfectly, you’ll always have a variation on Gain.

Yes, Input Trim is still at 8.5. There's a section in my other video where I show the settings on the TONEX ONE that compare to the Big Box. This link should take you right there kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJirZ4mHjMyda7s&si=Z9QhidTK6BrbMRU6

And you could use the ONE and big box for stereo amps but I would caution you that unless they're hard panned and/or using different captures, they'll have comb filtering when run in mono.

Even if your a die hard gotta have Marshall stack at a gig the Tonex One is an amazing back up amp and cheap. Just have it in your case. It probably fits in your pocket. But it sounds so good so why not put on your pedal board and call it a day. What a time to be a guitar player it just gets better and better. Ah but I still have all my 100 watt Marshalls and 4x12s you'll have to take them from my dead hands lol

Off topic. But can you enable/disable a stomp pedal that is within a preset? Like if my presets chain has a tube screamer in front, can I disable enable it? Or is that only for purely stomp captures using the tonex one as a stomp box? Thanks.
@thetoneshepherd
@thetoneshepherd 7 ай бұрын
No, you’d have to make two different captures, one with the TS in front and one with it off. Does that make sense? No way to separate the pedal from the amp within a preset.

@@thetoneshepherd Yep makes sense. And I found my answer in watching many other videos, it was a major complaint... I have ZERO AMPS, so I wouldn't be capturing at all. I've been a home hobbyist forever and have been amp sim vst only for over 20 years. This would mean if I wanted a 5150 with and without an overdrive in front, I'd have to find 2 identical with and without overdrive. It's just a technical question, as I always use an overdrive, so not an issue. But if there is no latency when switching presets, doesn't seem like a big issue.

@@thetoneshepherd Just basing it off the beginning of your video on the a/b part. Could be settings related, really anything/ I do think the 'big' pedal will last longer. Tonex 1 will have to use a lot of SMTs and micro componants, which simply don't last as long.

What you are hearing when they are out of phase is the difference signal. So, in theory, the only thing you are hearing is the difference between the two. That would indicate that they aren't even close to being the same. 😉 In fairness if there was a latency difference or a volume difference that would make the comparison invalid purely as a signal difference.

Correct…all of which was stated in the video, yeah? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Did you watch until the end? There was barely any signal once I lined them up correctly and reversed polarity.

Concurred. The final test was inaudible. That surprises me, cause I'd expect things like distortion to be time based, meaning they begin a modulation process at the start and would even be different using the same hardware or plugin.... It would take more nerdiness to investigate such a phenomenon... But great testing methodology and great video.

@@thetoneshepherd Yes I did. By eliminating the latency you virtually eliminated it. I would expect if you could perfectly match the output it would be better. It's entirely likely though that signal path and hardware, specifically in the analog stages, would also make a difference.
