I have an old POD HD500x. I was considering buying a Helix at well over 1000 bucks, then these things came out. I bought one, put it in my effects loop, defeated my amps, and OMG, I have a brand new board! I've been so impressed that I bought a second one . One is an OD pedal, and one is a clean and OD amp. For more boost I just hit an effect in the HD to push the front end, a boost. An added bonus is, they are black, like my board, and they attach nicely on either side of the LCD display, nothing on the floor but the POD footprint. Nice and compact. Effectively, for 360 bucks, I have something as pristine and flexible as a Helix, maybe more so! I'm playing through freakin Dumbles! I just bought Matchless captures and a third party pedal pack, Saldano, Revv, Blues breaker, Govr nor, Fuzz Face, Pie, Screamer, Klon, etc. Hell, my rig is endless!

They are brilliant, aren’t they? There’s no rules when putting your rig together. One of my nicest sounding Strats is an Indonesian Squier that I bought second hand for $180!!! Great analogy with your HD500 and the Tonex - yes, you do have something to rival any Helix setup! Thanks for stopping by.

That is a crazy amount of features for such a small pedal. Incredible actually. Great demo

Great job mate!

Aww mate thanks for this. Mine is on order, hopefully turning up Tuesday next week from Thomann. I'm going to use it in the FX loop with my Helix floor to increase the number of amps available to me. Great playing, and great to see a Master Lead Combo in the background. Those old solid states are fantatic beasts. I've got one with an old faded grille and a Lead 12, Reverb 12 and a Bass 12! Keep up the good work, and greatings from the UK.

Awesome! Thank you!

I love mine!

Like Presentation and you play Damn good

Nice

Man…..you make that thing sound great!!! I purchased one of these myself, but I haven’t been able to do anything with the software yet. I had to upgrade my computer and I just haven’t gotten around to it yet. What model Strat is that? Sounds fantastic though the Tonex!

Great demo. Hows it sound like straight into a pa mixing desk line aray

It's a mini first aid kit as an emergency backup in my ears in case your main set up breaks down at a gig providing you've loaded your own tones properly into it, it can get you out of trouble yes, but the software is a headache is the word on the street I'm also hearing from recent owners particularly, the live tweaking aspect is not great in frequency ranges most needed on the fly and its reliant on a FRFR to get into the zones of whats been loaded into it provided they've been recorded (captured) properly in the first instance, I'm not much of a fan of playing other players personal snapshots personally, most unfortunately are difficult to avoid..but certainly not impossible to avoid if preferred. Chances highly probably are, most players usually gravitate to around 3-4 mainstay tones with their usual wet/delay/dist/overdrive preferences on the fly when live mostly and if your current set up is not already able to provide such to your ability to dial it in, then I'd try some different outboard units first to avoid the fluffing about with software dependant tweaks tbh...ta for the vid!

How does it take Overdrive, Distortion, Fuzz pedals before it in the signal chain? Cheers

just adjust the trim input to not clip with pedals, works really good! and for my taste i like the trim input on the range for a boost pedal, even without the boost on, the amps sounds better for me

We are going to do a whole video with a few different flavours of drive pedal going into the front of it! And then we will also do a whole separate video using the Tonex one as a standalone Drive pedal

I’ve had mine for a week now , and I’m buggered if I can get a sound I like from it. I’ve scrolled hundreds of presets on tone net 😢

How are you monitoring? I ask because you can be monitoring with headphones from the Tonex One, when usb connected to your Mac/PC and also be getting signal from the software, which will sound horrible. Check the monitor options in the software.

@@alfredski007 yep , I returned mine as well , the tonex software is just awful. Not user friendly at all

I would spring for the full pedal if you can afford it unless you just plan to switch between one or two patches most of the time. Changing presets is fiddly AF, I can't imagine trying to do it on a gig.

We are looking at the full pedal now because we really really really want to do some profiling!

you do still need a seperate re-amping box to profile FYI

So whats the setup here? Guitar to Tonex to pc via usb?

Audio direct out of the pedal into the DAW.

I thought you could only switch between 2 amps on the pedal when it's standalone?

You can put it in "Browse" mode so that you can cycle through all 20 presets/tone models stored on the pedal. In its standard mode, you can cycle between two tones with the footswitch. You can also put it in Stomp mode to have access to the third preset/tone model.

Sorry Joel. The Tonex is the best i have tried. It sounds as good and as big as the amps it is emulating. What amps do you use? Have you kayed through a Tonex?

I would say the pedal sounds decent but the app they have is awful. The folks at ik multimedia need to do better with this app because it's not user-friendly whatsoever.
