Just purchased a Tonex Pedal and I was wondering if running it through a tube power amp without a cab sim would be an accurate substitution. Once the high end was adjusted to compensate, the sounds are basically spot on. Thanks!

[@galtonestudio]

Yeah, Di profiles work really, really good. I tried them with regular D class power amp and cab and they seem to lack something in direct comparison (in my opinion).

[@ajmaxx1793]

Wow! Sounds awesome. How do you control volume when you play the Tonex into the Effects return of the Tube amp? Does your amp have a separate volume control for it?

[@galtonestudio]

I'm using a tonex volume knob, that's it :)

[@ajmaxx1793]

@@galtonestudio Thank you for that information. Is the Tonex volume control sufficient to push the power tubes hard too? May be gig level volume?

[@galtonestudio]

@@ajmaxx1793 if you put it on >5, you'd be deaf lol. Sure, it only controls master volume of the amp.

[@ajmaxx1793]

@@galtonestudio lol. I tried Harley Benton GPA-100 but I found it uninspiring with no glassy tone. I actually thought my boss katana power amp (class AB)sounded better. I was thinking of getting a Fender HRD and use the power amp in the hope that it will help sound more tube like. So the volume control is my main concern for both playing loud or playing in bedroom volume level.

For everyone saying "real amps kick ToneX ass" : I disagree. At least in regards to recorded and PA live sound. To me, they're so damn close you'd NEVER be able to tell the difference unless someone told you. Now, standing in a rehearsal space, a real amp and cab is going to literally feel different. It will move more air than most FRFRs. You'll actually feel it shake your chest and move hair on your legs. It will be louder. But, again, once both are miked (or DIed) through a PA, you'd never know the difference. And for a very, very, very small fraction of the price. Just my humble opinion.

@@dasfette thanks a lot for a comment, you are not alone :) I did +1000 profiles for Kemper/ToneX and it is obvious, you can get the same tone as as miced Amp/Cab. For the last 5 years i was Fortunate enough to have a regular studio with live and Control room so comparing miced cab and simulation was very easy. And well... They were always pretty much the same. Even in null tests it was so close that NO ONE would notice. But let's be honest, how many people recorded their tube amps even Once in a studio? Or played outside of their home on bigger stage? Not too many. So they are comparing what they know to miced tones which sound "digital" because they can't compare that to anything :)

[@dasfette]

@@galtonestudio 100% agree! And appreciate the thorough response. Keep doing what you're doing, BTW. Your Fender Blues Junior pack is one of my absolute favorite Tonex captures out there. And congrats on your Mayer pack just living atop the most liked for the last few months. Well deserved!

A real amp has a little more gain

[@HiredGoonage]

Amp kicks ToneX's ass brother. It's not bad, but

[@galtonestudio]

I dare to disagree, especially in a studio scenario :) I'm not micing cabs anymore in my studio, direct profiles may differ, but miced profiles are 100% the same (and I did a lot of ab tests) :) But sure, if you need a full blown tube sound in a rehearsal room - amp will be better for that :)
