ToneX Pedal & HX Stomp Best Rig For $1,000.00?

[@hardstones17]

Just got my ToneX today to pair it with my HX Stomp and Digitech Drop, I am VERY impressed! I feel I have one of the best setups a bedroom mongrel like myself could ever have. I look forward to sculpting basically any tones I could want. Its an incredibly powerful duo!

[@stegerguitars]

do you put the digitech first in your chain?

[@hardstones17]

@@stegerguitars yes, straight into the stomps input, ToneX is in the loop of the stom,p.

[@JJ3136]

I really loved the realistic sound that you got out of that rig, you are Amazingly Awesome ❤

[@riffer-t]

Could use the ToneX with HX Effects. Would probably be all you need, unless you really need a stereo setup, it also has more stomp buttons.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Great point. You can definitely do that as well.

[@KeithMcKissick]

Was going to suggest this setup.

[@geetarplyr1]

I run this setup with an expression pedal and a wah. Does everything and does it well.

[@MichaelRiesenbeck]

That's what I'm using

[@Dani_Cano]

Why not HX Effects instead of HX Stomp??

[@nikhilnarahari8424]

Nice! Thanks for the video. I'm planning on setting up a similar rig with the HX Stomp and the new Nano Cortex. I figure you can't really ask for much more than that for right around a grand 🤘🏽

[@DimKAt21]

Now, that's a good idea for the fly rig I'm looking to build

[@MrNastyguitar]

Great Vid love the set up and sound looking forward to getting a few of your tonex captures

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I can't wait to start making captures with this product very soon.

[@riffer-t]

where did your savage mk2 go?

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

My buddy TJ is borrowing it for reamping his album.

[@paulblanton1793]

I would definitely love to have the splawn nitro, and quick rod for my tonex! your tones are amazing🤟🏼

[@adampeters1241]

Thanks for the video. I am looking forward to doing a setup like this. I think it will be a step up from the modeler tones I’ve been using

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

My pleasure. It's definitely a step up from modeling tones. You'll love it

[@seanmichael8411]

Where do you set your input gain and trim on the tonex? I see you set your send/return levels on the stomp to 0? What about the in/s outs on the stomp, instrument or line? I have the same setup and the tonex patches are much lower in volume than the built in stomp presets. I'm using your ultimate brutal capure pack, and your Savage capture pack for the tonex.

[@TheChicagoTodd]

This is an awesome video! Love to see you branch out....now making captures for ToneX....as soon as they, and Neural, offer a marketplace, you'll be recouping some of your investment. The march to 10k is on!!!

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thank you very much. Until there's a marketplace, I will have everything available on my website

[@burtosu86guitar]

Very nice, you explained how to get rid of GAS 🤘🤘🤘

[@stegerguitars]

but just a temporary cure.......

[@AD1978leo]

Very cool! I'll definitely be getting the captures when ready. Hopefully I can get all this put together and figured out this weekend lol

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thank you!! Good luck with your new setup

[@benburnett8109]

Keep us posted on how it goes. I'm currently beefing up my computers so I can switch to Tonex. I still run Windows 7, Looks like I'm finally forced to upgrade.

[@Widdy5150]

This with HX Effects would be killer!!!

[@silv.b]

I have the HX Effects and I'm considering buying a tonex. :)

[@TheCyberMantis]

Why not run the HX Effects with the ToneX? 🤔

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thats a good rig as well. Hx Stomp is smaller

[@Widdy5150]

😅😅 Loving these weekly 😉

[@SoundForgeStudio]

For playing live im guessing you need a power amp to to push it to a cab or cabs. Or does it have enough power to push a 212 cab ??

[@benburnett8109]

1 important note that Jarrod missed is the fact that using the Tonex in the effects loop of the Hx allows you to have 1 less block that takes alot of DSP. In most presets, you are limited to 8 blocks. With the Amp Block being gone, that frees up a tremendous amount of DSP in the Helix so you can run more advanced DSP type effects. LIke Polyphonic shifts. Also, Helix effects are top tier. So you combine top tier Amp captures of the exact amp you want (no more 1 size fits all soldano for example) and the Top Tier effects of the Line 6 Helix line. Make no mistake: When the Line 6 Helix 2.0 includes all current features, a touch screen and the ability to integate amp captures directly into the Helix 2.0....................Neural is done. Fractal will be sold for pennies on the dollar. No one will want Neural after the boatload of lies they currently have regarding the Quad Cortex. Neural might as well rename their product the Cortec Quadarpelegic. And all other Amp Sim companies will be forced to pay a vig to Line 6 just for the right to exist. And Kemper.......well that dude is stuck in 2012. He just might go into the "new age toaster" business. He just might figure out a new way to capture toast.

[@johnbach2380]

Dude relax. I messed with Tonex the software for weeks. Fractal and Neural are fine. There are still drawbacks to capturing vs modeling, and tweaking the knobs makes it easily apparent.

[@benburnett8109]

@@johnbach2380 FIrst of all, I DO NOT IDENTIFY AS A "dude." Just so you know, I only Identify as "ROCK GOD" and never tell me to relax. As long as Neural is out there blatantly misreprenting their products I will lead the way on "calling them out." Also: you said, "knob" heh heh.

[@philfort7886]

neural dsp. worst company ever. Lies about bring the plugin in the unit. Never update their plugin so when they release a new plugin, you need to buy it to have the new feature (like the transpose effect in the john petrucci), the newer plugin always outdated the old one. They take a lot of time to integrated a software to make your preset. Seriously they are the worst on the market. Line 6 rule even if the modeling technology is outdated. The customer service and you got more than what you expected at the beginning

[@markinthemix6055]

So l have been a Kemper user for years now and l do like the RIG manager. Rig Manager is a stand alone program. Just asking, do l have to have a DAW to open the HX stomp editor? Also, Do l have to have a DAW to open the Tone X software to deep edit the pedal? Please inform me on this. Hope it’s not a dumb question.

[@benburnett8109]

The HX editor is a standalone program. Line 6 has a program called HELIX NATIVE which is a version of HELIX software that you open inside of your DAW. You do not need a DAW open to use HX EDIT. But you need a DAW to run Native. HOpe that helps.

[@MichaelRiesenbeck]

There is no editor for the Tonex Pedal, only a librarian.

[@erniestrings]

Good stuff! Any idea when your Tonex profiles may be available for purchase? Love that lead sound!

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thank you. Sorry for the late reply, it's been a busy week. I just set up a new computer that will help me complete these captures much quicker. Hopefully they will be available within the next week or so. Stay tuned to the channel, as I will be announcing everything here.

[@misticformula1485]

Sounds awesome! What kind of speaker/s are you using for this demo?

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

The capture is of my stealth and Mesa 212

[@vaughanmacegan4012]

Ok, so the HX Stomp and the ToneX pedal retail for under $1,000 in the US (it's a lot more in Australia), fine, but, what are you using for amplification and how much does that cost?

[@vaughanmacegan4012]

Amplifier or FRFR?

[@Jonw8222]

What were your thoughts on the latency of combining these two together? I don't think you mentioned it, so I assume that you didn't notice any small delay in response? On paper it would be around 5-8ms.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

I didn't really notice any latency. Next time I play through this rig, I'll try to pay more attention to that.

[@artytoney2057]

got a question , on your 4cm pack , i just got a fireball25 , so with this pack can i run 4 cable method from helix to my fb25 , and these snapshots will work in that situation , is this what this pack is used for

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Yes, they will work with that amp and any other amp. Thank you for your purchase. Much appreciated.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

@@artytoney2057 my pleasure!! Thanks for your support

[@markinthemix6055]

I appreciate the video. Thumbs up. So what l got out of this video….. the Tone X needs the HX STOMP’s effects and the HX STOMP needs the Tone X captures 🤔 % wise, how much better is the “RAW” Tone X amp sounds compared to Helix and HX STOMP “RAW amp tones? I’m honesty getting GEAR jet lag at this point 🤪

[@benburnett8109]

My take on this is that the captures sound better than the "modeled" amps. IF the captures are done correctly. Something else to note is that there is a significant DSP limit on the HX stomp. Using the tonex to supply the amp (which is a significant part of DSP) frees up a large amount of DSP so you can use more DSP intensive effects.

[@thomasfokas]

I think I may have mentioned the Fractal FM3 before but just curious why you’re not a fan of Fractal as in my opinion they have both the best guitar amp models as well as FX models, IMO. Have you used them before?

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thanks for commenting. I have tried the Axe-Fx 3 before. You're right, it's probably the best modeler out there. I just don't like modeling in general. I feel like it lacks depth and the feel that I'm looking for. Profilers give me that.

[@BrendanClune]

Hey Jarrod! How do you feel about this combo vs Tonex and the HX Effects Pedal. Anything different?

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Its pretty much the same sonically. Because you have more foot switches on the HX FX, you'll have more flexibility IMHO

[@BrendanClune]

Also rewatching this again right now, god DAMN can you play or what 😂🤘

So I'm looking at tonex pedal, I have a helix and i play through a ENGL FB25 so on FB if I run the tonex on my pedal board Will I be able to run the captures through my amp or just effects like if I 4cm the helix , in other words how applicable is tonex with a raw amp , thank you for all your help

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

You would be better off running at 4 CM with your helix. if you use a DI capture, you can run that through the power section of your amplifier.

*My only real gripe is relying on sound systems or other people’s PA systems. Need at least 12” full-range, full-response speakers with a power amp or powered monitors. They could still be shite and hurt guitar toans.*
