Running the Tonex one through 100w power amp as a gigging backup. The new update is a power move

[@Metaldad87]

They added the one thing i wished it had, delay for leads

[@rutger4131]

There IS a drive / boost block included, it is just hidden, masquerading as faux amp controls (I just realized this myself). The capture already has preferred EQ settings baked in. Under 'advanced settings' you find an entire 3 band parametric EQ including a gain control and you can move it pre or post! You can use the EQ as your boost / OD pedal, it will just look a bit goofy as the controls on the amp are moving. Granted, for full flexibility there should be two EQs, one for pre + post EQ. Curious if that would work for you :) follow up vid plz? That said: I'd love companies like Amalgam offering DI captures ot overdrive + amp, that would solve the entire issue of not having a drive block.

[@DavidJosephBoth]

the little mini tonex one has 1.5 latency.. just add all the boosts on the little pedal. It's not like anyone is carrying tonex in their pocket anyways.. maybe the one, but not the big dog it would be a pocket buster. The little tonex can hold all the drives you'd possibly need and is a mini pedal.

[@KelticKabukiGirl]

All digital modelers need an analog drive in the chain to really bring them alive with some natural clipping and mid boosts

[@Klevaer]

Separate Overdrive/Amp slots would be a amazing. Literally my only complaint with the plug-in. Great video. 👏👏

I've been using the tonex one with the software the input Gaines lineup works great using it to interface with headphones to record my guitar tracks then I'll switch over to my interface for vocals and mix down works fantastic for 180 bucks it does so many things I love it. And the tones sound amazing

The best thing about tone x....putting it in the loop of a modeler and using it with its cabs in a block like on a HX stomp.... Every person I heard doing this are having incredible results! Thanks for doing the demo have a blessed day 😎👊🏻 bro

[@Thrive-Off-Grid]

Ampero Stage and Ampero II can both do it without Tone X come the November update. You can actually run two of them in one chain.

[@mikesmith1290]

I run my ToneX pedal thru the effects loop on the TC electronics Plethora X5, and it sounds great!

[@JamesFlorio-ti8gc]

@@Thrive-Off-Grid let us know how the profiling in Ampero works out. So far the best profiler at moment is tone x and IK....even better than Kemper and QC ....it's that damn good. We will see soon I have a feeling every company will jump on the band wagon. Headrush tried but it's sub par

[@Thrive-Off-Grid]

[@RECTIFIER101]

spillover is a must have unless you leave the same delay on all the time across 3 presets

[@jenyahp2828]

Great video. The capturing process through the software has a perk which I can’t find in the cortex universe. You can capture your tones/ rigs/ or whatever through great sounding pre amps and great sounding converters. With the cortex captures you can do that too but the last step is and always will be, the converters from the cortex and not whatever you have in your studio. For lots of users this can be fine and „good enough“. But if you have top of the line pre amps (Rupert Neve, SSL, Heritage Audio) and converters (UAD, RME…) in your studio, then you are definitely better off using them to capture everything.

[@TaylorDanley]

That's a really good point, and another reason I see a lot of pro studios using Tonex over QC. I don't think NDSP can compete there unless they make a stand alone capturing app (I don't think they ever will)

[@jimsimmons2674]

Taylor i agree the update should of had a Overdrive block!Maybe you could mention this to IK Multimedia?

[@TaylorDanley]

@@jimsimmons2674 I think I just did! 😂

[@JimijaymesProductions]

​@@jimsimmons2674good distortion modelling uses more dsp than clean modulation. I feel like the dsp can't handle a block of distortion modelling. A full stereo tone x with a pre block would be amazing though.

[@jcugnoni]

Cool times for guitar tones. Just learned that Hotone Ampero 2 is also getting a capture tech (currently in beta) that seems quite good according to Leo Gibson's video. I think that IK should try to add a boost (even just as a kind of a linear eq + volume boost) to ToneX. It would not add a lot of DSP load but can make a big difference in tweaking high gain tones.

[@towerpower]

It's funny that tone capture devices are adding effects and that the Ampero Stage ( still in beta I think) and Ampero 2 modeler multi effects are now adding capture functionality! It would be interesting to have you try it out if you still have the stage! Plus, in theory the ampero would solve the overdrive issue both of those units have since you can move any blocks as you wish! I must admit that new fucntionalities popping up on device is on thing that's pretty cool about software!

[@heckensteiner4713]

I had already purchased Amplitube and I didn't understand the point of Tonex especially as someone who doesn't intend to do live giggine. I bit the bullet and decided to buy Total Studio Max v4 on sale ($105 after Jam points). SO I gave Tonex a try and WOW! I totally get it now. The modeled amps sound more raw and realistic to me than Amplitube's sims. I actually went back and swapped out some of the Amplitube amps with Tonex amps in most of my songs while maining the Amplitube effects chains. Really cool that Tonex is getting it's own set of effects too.

[@JonnEZGuitarz]

thank you once again. Love the guitar playing can you review any kirk hammett guitars please it would mean a lot to me. ❤❤❤

[@satarello]

great tone. This is probably the best digital sound on your channel. For me better than Axe fx 3 and different modellers ..cheers Taylor

[@chrisdoe8192]

Do you make your captures available to buy? That Prometheus one sounds amazing

[@AtoragoN1]

there is another important note to add: Tonex allows you to save your captures into files in the pc that you can export, sell etc, while for nano cortex there is only the phone app and apparently there is never going to be a pc software (their words), there is no way to save your own captures locally or edit the patches via pc, which for me is the deal breaker. I don't trust having everything saved only in the cloud and I want to create my own patches in the comfort of my pc, my monitors etc. Really a pity.

Literally just use a capture with a boost. That's kind of the whole point of ToneX

[@jackbootshamangaming4541]

Just use the capture with the boost or a real pedal. That's more of the point of tonex or use a tone X1 as what I do. I run a tonex one before a tonex or I run a tonex one for a small practice and small gig rig and I run my tonex for my bigger gigs when I needed amp that I don't have as good of a capture semi on my Mac for. And then I don't have the reel amp as

not as easy for everyone unfortunately 🙁. but I get what You mean. I guess I'm not the only one who thinks they should have included an Effects Loop. have the Flashback 2 Myself and I love it. got it for a pretty cheap price on ebay (new! not used for only $130 plus tax _- not the _*_Mini_*_ or the _*_X4_*_ versions -_ ). got a Boss CE-5 (it's not a CE-2 but it does the job well enough, and I'd love to have the TC Electronic Hall of Fame 2 Reverb. but I gotta wait and save up for that. and Taylor, like I said I love Your Overdrive pedal but being a Christian I'd rather just have it be a Taylor Danley Signature OD without the Devil imagery. I'd seriously pay more for that if I could get it that way 🤑.

[@major-skull-gaming]

How do you get the tone you created in the Tonex app into the pedal? Does it is also go into the Tonex One?

[@TaylorDanley]

You use the app on your computer, there's a feature called librarian which lets you drag and drop tone models on to either of the pedals.

[@MotoRiff77]

If they come out with an all in one unit that incorporates amplitude, how would you want the platform pedal board based or rack based? I would choose rack

Rack would be great, but it's hard to fit a touchscreen on a rack unit, which I feel like would be it's main appeal.

[@BlazonStone]

I had to crank my interface preamps 40+db to get any useful volume out of Tonex TS line outs, even with with both amp and master volume in the unit maxed out. Is this a common issue? I'm getting so much noise ratio Im thinking of returning the damn thing. I do not have this issue with Kemper, GSP1101, Ampero or any other modeler I have or have had

[@JimijaymesProductions]

It's not line level. It's guitar level. Plug it into a hiz guitar input. If the output is lower than you guitar straight in then maybe there is an issue.

[@BlazonStone]

@@JimijaymesProductions That makes no sense, if I need to connect to a PA system live, what are they gonna do? Most modelers I have have the right output for live use

[@JimijaymesProductions]

@@BlazonStone plug it into a DI and bring it down to mic level before it goes into the mixing desk mic preamps, as they would with most setups anyway (an engineer would usually just pad unbalanced line outputs anyway). Yeah most modellers are end to end solutions, often with xlr outputs not designed for integrating into existing rigs. Tone x is more a guitar pedal that does amp capture modelling. The problem if it was true line level is that you couldn't use guitar pedals after it like delays, reverbs, modulation etc (some high end ones can handle line level but most can't especially analog). Also as an engineer I personally hate unbalanced line level, you have to pad the DI then the SNR gets worse (because signal gets boosted up and brought back down by 040db and then up back up again) and being unbalanced you can't run it across the room like you would balanced line level. I agree though that IK should make a more professional version, true stereo with switchable line/mic level xlr outputs (or at least balanced outputs) as well as instrument outputs.

[@youscreamiscream]

@@BlazonStone I need a line level signal to drive my rack effects. Simple trick that works for me. Set the compressor up for post vs pre. Set the gain control at 0 to plus 3db and you'll have plenty of signal to drive line level effects or power amps without charging the tone of the capture...works great for me
