Are the new TONEX Effects any good?

[@neilkorsgaard]

When it came out everyone said, if it just had a delay and a spring reverb, it would be great. Now they give is that PLUS tremolo, phaser, chorus, and 4 different reverbs, and people complain.! I am grateful for this!

[@nah3193]

Lol yea. This is very usable and you can always run more pedals in front if you want. Imo it's only a matter of time before they are able to do some kind of dynamic capture of pedals

[@BuckAdam-k9v]

Excellent playing and musicianship as always! Appreciate the cool chord progressions and also the clarity of your rig to hear the details of your examples! Awesome demo!

[@FretFriendGWaL]

Seriously: these updated effects sound great (to me)! I am waiting for my Thomann Special Edition Tonex pedal to arrive. Victor 😃

[@jackprice7828]

Best video yet on the new ToneX update.

[@theblowupdollsmusic]

Really great overview of the new effects. Thank you for taking the time to go though them.

[@RAYMONDCARROLL-o3n]

I just bought your HC30 profiles for Tonex. They the best profiles I've tried. Well done! Highly recommended. Thanks very much.

[@ValiRossi]

I got the anniversary pedal and that is exactly how I intend to use it. Each bank of three is the same base sound with variations. So far it works great. It sounds amazing BTW.

[@luisnavarro8932]

Im loving this update. Im using the chorus effect with a JazzChorus capture it sounds awesome

[@mohitrahaman]

That was a nice chorus sound! The modulations effects are actually in stereo!

[@pinstripe_pedals]

SO stinkin' cool! Thanks for taking us along for the fun!

[@CarmineLombardi-e9f]

What a great, great demo, spot on practical info that I really needed to know. I just ordered my Tonex and I'm waiting for it to arrive, and this is a God send of info, its so appreciated. A note, I'm not sure about this but through some due diligence it seems that by using Amplitude 5, you can capture any tone settings from your pedal collection both gain and time based, and then run them either in series or parallel, then export them to the Tonex pedal.

[@worshiptutorials]

Thanks! TONEX will not capture time based effects. I don’t think any current capture tech from any company will capture time based effects yet.

[@CarmineLombardi-e9f]

@@worshiptutorials Correct however I asked my Ai to find a solution and here's what it gave me. 1. Hardware Setup Guitar to TC Electronic Stereo Chorus+: Plug your guitar into the input of the Stereo Chorus+. Set up your desired chorus/vibrato settings, ensuring it produces the tone you want to capture. Stereo Output to Your Audio Interface: Connect the stereo outputs of the Stereo Chorus+ to two inputs on the Clarett 8Pre (e.g., Inputs 1 and 2 for left and right channels). Ensure the Clarett's inputs are set to line level if needed, as the Stereo Chorus+ outputs line-level signals. Adjust the gain knobs on the Clarett to avoid clipping. Audio Interface to Your DAW: Open your DAW and create a stereo audio track. Assign the input channels corresponding to the left and right outputs of the Stereo Chorus+. 2. Configure AmpliTube 5 Insert AmpliTube 5 on your DAW track where the Stereo Chorus+ signal is routed. Create Parallel Processing Paths: Use AmpliTube’s dual-path routing to split the signal: Path A: Clean signal from the Stereo Chorus+ to retain its original sound. Path B: Add time-based effects like reverb, delay, or modulation (if desired). Stereo Processing: Ensure that the stereo imaging of the Stereo Chorus+ is preserved by setting up AmpliTube to process the stereo channels independently or in parallel. 3. Capturing the Stereo Chorus+ Sound Direct Recording: Record the Stereo Chorus+ output directly into your DAW to preserve its unique analog tone. Tone Replication: Use AmpliTube’s tone-matching or impulse response (IR) features (if available) to replicate the Stereo Chorus+ sound digitally. 4. Monitoring and Recording Real-Time Monitoring: Use the Audio Interface low-latency monitoring to hear the Stereo Chorus+ live. Blend the direct analog sound with any additional effects from AmpliTube in real time. Multi-Track Recording: Record the Stereo Chorus+ output on one stereo track. Record any parallel effects processed in AmpliTube on another stereo or mono track. Additional Tips Chorus Level Control: Adjust the Stereo Chorus+ effect mix knob to balance the wet/dry signal before sending it to the Audio Interface. EQ and Compression: Use AmpliTube or your DAW's tools to further shape the tone for better integration with other effects. External Sends/Returns: If you want to use the Stereo Chorus+ as an insert or send/return effect, configure it using the Clarett’s line outputs and inputs for maximum flexibility. This setup allows you to use the TC Electronic Stereo Chorus+ Gold Edition for its lush, analog stereo modulation tones while seamlessly blending or enhancing it with additional digital processing in AmpliTube 5.

[@worshiptutorials]

Sounds like AI is understanding the meaning of ‘capturing’ as ‘recording’. Like that’s how you would record/track Amplitube in a DAW

[@alissonwilker]

Although he said it is not possible to access delay, mod... fx on Tonex Pedal, it is possible to control them in the pedal menu.

[@OldSchoolSoundATX]

Great video! The effects can be tweaked to get Ambient sounds.. but don't sell your Timeline..😊

[@juliusvillalon316]

Sir how about for the low budget like nux mg30? Do you have a preset worship and a ambient presets?

[@hannesganahl6384]

I've tried everything now and I'm really impressed! All modulation effects sound excellent and I was mostly even able to leave the basic settings. The delays are simple, but sound good and finally there is a usable spring reverb! I had problems with the reverbs before the update. I think the plate reverb sounds great, I didn't liked all the others. I still have one wish: please give us a better room reverb, then I would be completely happy!

[@JoelChristianChandraOfficial]

Can we use big toneX as standalone for worship live?

[@worshiptutorials]

You’d have to know exactly what you want ahead of time. Not the most flexible to adjust in the moment. But it also depends on what you need. This is not a multi fx unit. It’s an amp sim that happens to have some effects thrown in.

[@jackrumen]

...Hello Bro...i really liked your video,and im thinking to buy also that machine.....just still confusing how to figger out to play in real time on the stage in live mode,becouse have to play many kind styles of music,but there is only 3 switches....Anyway,if there is some solution,please,share with me.THANKS AGAIN!....P.S...Sorry for my english..

[@MichielN26]

This pedal and software drive me crazy.....! How can you even add extra effects on your existing presets, that are already inside the Tonex pedal? I would like to find out how you can add the effects and save them to your Tonex (the big one).

[@67cruiser-AKA-JonReynolds]

Just got one of these Anniversaries.... How many did they manufacture?

[@henrymontealegre5452]

Sorry newbie question here, why do you have the rv6 at the end of the signal chain when you already have reverb in the tonex?

[@tommeyer1996]

I was curious as well, maybe to get the full stereo spread? It seems odd to me.

[@worshiptutorials]

For bigger verbs!

[@simonprittie]

How do you test out amps in real time in the ToneX software? I can’t seem to figure it out

[@MarkoZorecHimself]

True. Unfortunately, the Tonex software feels clunky and illogical, which makes using it as a standalone unit a frustrating experience. On the other hand, I’ve been using the Tonex pedal, and I’m quite impressed with it, especially when I use it as a stomp pedal in my rig for overdrive and distortion.

[@metalpr]

Yes you can control the fx settings from the big Tone X knobs

[@backstage-digital9031]

Hello from MEXICO, whats the board? i am gonna buy the same rig, i love it!!

[@peterschermers]

Great video as always, Brian! Thanks! 😉👌🏻 Question: I have two Tonex Ones for stereo effect. How can I use the recently added (Pre) Delay effects to emphasize the stereo sound between my 2 Tonex Ones? Do you have any tips?

[@stereoroid]

My suggestion would be to add a little modulation on one side e.g. a little Phaser or Flanger.

[@Javier-qk7ms]

I got a ToneX One just to convince myself if I like the sound. I play with a power amp int orela cabs. Now I want the big one to have Clean/Crunch/Lead a la Eric Johnson with a single stomp on each button.

[@hgostos]

Great question

[@MrDavemiley]

I had two 1996 Matchless C 30s as my main amps for over 18 years . I finally weened myself off of them with a Todd Sharp , but still wish I would have kept one of those C 30's as I sometimes miss having a "Master Volume " style amp .

[@j.b.4867]

GREAT Video! I'm still not clear about if any of the new effects can be edited from the Tonex Pedal, or only by the software?

[@Stratman5150]

I saw a video from Jason Sadites that shows you can edit the effects on the large pedal. He added chorus, delay etc.. to an existing patch.

[@larriveeman]

they can

[@wolfganghuber3616]

The Tremolo sounds interessting, curios if there will be taptempo or midi for controlling the tempo.

[@andrelanca2700]

Can we use a mídi pedal to enable/Disable each of those effect on any bank? Like it would be different pedals on the pedalboard?

[@worshiptutorials]

Yes you can

[@mbtrav0]

For someone who doesn’t like complicated pedals and a lot of tweaking, is this an easy pedal to learn and use live or is there another you would recommend?

[@mcjrack275]

Thank you for the great presentation. One question: what do you call the thing at the very end of the signal chain with the XLR-out? Thank you!

[@worshiptutorials]

Thanks! That’s a DISO by Pinstripe pedals.

[@mcjrack275]

@@worshiptutorials Thanks a lot!

[@thibderobAKAfremen]

Not sure why you say that reverb after modulation collapse stereo modulation or delays to mono? Yes the reverb is "mono in" but the direct sound of delay and modulation is still stereo

[@worshiptutorials]

Once a stereo effect is fed into a mono input, the stereo effect collapses to mono

[@thibderobAKAfremen]

@@worshiptutorials *in the reverb* only. It's the same in the Axe-Fx, the reverb input sums left and right channel, BUT the stereo image of the modulations/delay is preserved. Else, you won't hear the delay repeats alternating to left and right channels in ping pong mode. I have the delay at the end in my ToneX presets, and I still hear stereo delay and stereo modulations.

[@69Firebird]

I have the anniversary pedal and can’t wait for the update! I would like to use just the pedal to my Line 6 PowerCab but I can’t seem to get a strong enough signal to even slightly push indicator to flash red. Do you have any suggestions?

[@jburdsinfuse]

[@montiac22]

Does anyone know if you can dial up two different mods like chorus and phaser for the same preset directly from the tonex pedal? Thanks In Advance

[@larriveeman]

I updated the pedal and the APP, I have no effects, is there a secret to updating?

[@natesroomrule]

i just got the pedal in the mail last week. Been playing with it...its my first ever pedal, but i have been watching your vids for the last few months so i can play elec at church instead of Acoustic. I havent found a good vid yet to help a noob walk through understanding how to use the software and the guitar part together. I dont understand the words and anachronyms, like tanks, drip, etc. I kinda understand them in reference, but i'm just learning. From your video, the captures on the pedal do not have any of those features turned on (reverb, delay etc) If i want them i have to go in the app (or figure out how to do it on the pedal) I do wish you did a video showcasing all the captures and the number it was assigned.

[@arcarsenal72]

What kind of pickup are in that tele? It sounds fantastic here!

[@worshiptutorials]

[@Guitarman007]

The problem with these new effects is that because there are more of them you now need some sort of a effects loop. If you want to use your own other effects with them. Before tonics was basically mostly just an amp and it could just sit in the middle of your chain now it's trying to be more than that and it doesn't have an effects loop.

[@J_Walker]

The Springs are emulating the number of springs, or “boing.”

[@davideoverman]

I have the Tonex one and if you have it in browse mode you can get three presets you can switch between with the foot switch. But I probably will get the bigger Tonex eventually. Gotta have that tap tempo.

[@Cantstandtherock]

They should release a bigger one with more switches. I have an AX8 and GC and I use both live and need more switches. I had an FM3 but didnt have any other controllers, more cables=more problems. I carry the AX8 as a backup for the QC and don’t use any outboard pedals other than two expression pedals.

[@algorithm007ify]

The first 3 spring reverbs sounded bad...the 4th is ok.

[@glassGPT]

I agree. IK should consider adding a Hall algorithm.

[@solvirgo9372]

The 4th one is the only new one, the other 3 are rubbish and the 4th is a response to this

[@nathanieldahman9268]

That plate tho...so good. It's basically a high-passed EMT 140 but with quite a bit more high end.

[@predigr]

How do you use this thing in live? Can I use this pedal only? I don't like pedalboards

[@worshiptutorials]

You can use it however you’d like. It’s not really meant to replace an entire board’s worth of effects. Think of it as an amp replacement with a few built in effects.

[@predigr]

@@worshiptutorials Yeah, you explained a bit later in the video. It sounds very nice your setup man. But I like simplicity as much as possible so I was curious whether this tonex could behave like a simple multieffect pedalboard or a classic set of pedals. Nowadays I prefer multieffects like cortex and CIA. But again, your TONEX sounds very lovely.

[@neilkorsgaard]

It has a lot of flexibility in how you can set it up. I would think you could have various presets with different effects. It also has midi. So if you needed to ad another switch or two, you can. I love mine

[@DrBadLlama]

Isn't it still mono though if you'd only want to use it for modulation and wet effects?

[@worshiptutorials]

The modulation and delays are both stereo. The reverb is mono in and stereo out. The pedal itself is mono in and stereo out, but you can use the delay and mod as true stereo effects.

[@willgo7898]

... so with this update and the original Tonex pedal now on sale ($100 off) kinda feels like a new model full size pedal might be in the wings - maybe at NAMM 2025. Anyone in the know ... thoughts or details?

[@championshipmodemedia9469]

All in one patches available???

[@worshiptutorials]

This isn’t really designed to be an all in one. You’re just going to get access to some more effects which you can save into presets. Our captures will not have these engaged, but you’ll be able to turn on whatever you want in the software when it releases.

i’ve seen a couple videos of editing the mods/delays on the pedal with a beta firmware

[@worshiptutorials]

Was it with the pedal connected to the software but in Edit mode? Or was it being edited from the pedal itself without being connected to the Tonex software? Maybe I missed it, but I couldn’t find any way to access the new FX from the pedal while disconnected to the software.
