You are correct. I’m a soon to be 59 year old player who’s had a tube amp in one way shape or form for decades. But as I get older I find it increasingly more difficult to lug those amps, and pedalboards to gigs. I also am not that tech savvy, so deep diving into menus and tweaking is very intimidating for me. And, I didn’t want to spend $500 or more for a unit that gave me access to 9000 sounds. I’ve only ever only used only 3…….clean, crunch and lead/solo. So for me…..for a 179 bucks, is perfect 👍🏻

Getting two “One’s” for dual amps and using my OG ToneX for drives. 👍🏻

This is crazy. Two of these still costs a little less than one original size Tone X. Great job IK. Thank you Sooze and HW for the video.

To me, the Tonex (other than of course it's profiling capabilities) Is a multi-effect unit that doesn't delay or modulate. It does about everything else. Reverb, gate, separate EQ section from the tonestack, compression, any OD or Fuzz or Distortion.

I believe if you put some Fralin pickups in that guitar, you’d be astonished at how good it sounds. The$40 Squier sounded better than Goldie IMHO. Y’all contribute greatly to the guitar community and I appreciate it! I like the sound of every other guitar being used in your videos, far better!

This is so brilliant, as someone who really still prefers my amp, my trouble has always been the high cost, i always liked my modelers but sitting on 500 or a thousand dollars of something i dont love as much as my amp they were always first to go when i wanted some money. 179 is such a good entry point. I think these have the possibility to sell like crazy

My main recording tone (minus fx) is the *J. Rockett Blue Note* into the *Tomsline Shaper* for 2x12 cab simulation, so it's like I have a 2x12 Blue Note combo. Could this combo of pedals be captured in the ToneX One?

So in toggle mode you can switch between amps AND in on/off mode it can be f. i. a drive pedal? I think that's perfect. You can have it on your board as a direct solution, and when you use your amp you have another drive/boost or something else. Perfect for a backup solution, just a baby bomb in your bag and if your beloved tube amp bites the dust, flip the switch and on with the show.

You're absolutely right, i would love a firmware update for the big tonex model to add profiles (like 1.amp, 2.drive pedal 3.boost or second drive pedal) It would be killer.

How would you compare the IK Multimedia tonex one with the spark modeller from positiv grid...?(i have one) Just the quallity of tone i mean...! Are there better amps for metal sounds in the tonex as in the spark software...? Please answer...! Thank you...😊

The manual isn’t clear on the following. Does the IR cabinet option work or can users only engage the built in cab sim?

So for pedal captures, I get how you should capture different GAIN & TONE snapshots but what about VOLUME/ OUTPUT of the pedal when capturing? Set it at noon for all captures???

Hm, I just remember I got a Hotone xtomp on my studio pedal board. No idea what the price was, 7 (?) years ago. There I can load of pedals and amps. I think I will revisit this now. 🙂

"What's "WRONG" with ToneX One...?" It's from IK Multimedia!

You could put two on top of a direct box for a tiny aux board

The guy in the left had it 💯 when he said this would be the first modeler that people buy. I just ordered one (my first modeler). I only wanted the amps, no need for effects etc. I wanted to try it out w/ my other pedals. I’m a bassist looking to check out other amps for little cost. 😂

How many led colors are available? I wouldnt need 20 amp presets but 3 primary and 2 I use less often is realistic.

"Brilliant product" ... yep ! TRS out can be a headphone out (UA !!)

I wonder what the next Big Tonex device will have that Tonex doesn't have. Stereo + FX. Is that it?

I use the quad cortex for everything these days. But I do have a grab and go type board with my favorite drives and verbs this definitely is something I may add. Probably add the 65 deluxe like on my qc lol.

Pedal companies, amp companies and other digital modeler companies are all in a little trouble. Next thing you know IK is gonna put out a multi-effects-filled ToneX plus.

I’m having g a big issue with the tone x one. I’m going straight to the computer ( win 11) and the out on the pedal into an Frfr. I cannot edit with software because there is the tone of the pedal playing at the same time as the software playing a tone. I can’t use the software to edit at all or even see what things sound like before I even add it to the player. Big pain in the butt.

This was a really interesting discussion on the use of 2 ToneX 1’s. Is there any use of the ToneX for acoustic?

@robbarker9878

26 күн бұрын

If it does custom IR there shouldn't be any reason it can't do acoustic IRs. Although if I put it in the location where I'd want amps that's not the same spot I would put acoustic IRs, so likely that will remain hx stomps job for my use case.

Personally, I prefer modelling over capture as it allows for more tweaking and besides, I don’t own a bunch of high end amps I want to capture, so I am happy for engineers at Line6 to model some high end amps for me. I would like to see Line 6 come out with an amp version of the HX One. For me it makes more sense than the effects model as you only need one amp at a time, and having a unit with a screen that lets you easily select your amp model would be very useful, and free up dsp on the Stomp.

A decade old pedal the Zoom MS50g smokes this thing. It has a screen so you can see what you are doing. This is just a modern thing to make people spend money then regret it in a month. The MS50g is around 60 pounds or less 2nd hand. Make junk and say it is 'A.I.'. Wheel out the shills, Profit.

I really love this concept. I personally dont care about the mini pedal format since a normal enclosure with top jacks takes up the same amount of real-estate, but i definitely respect the engineering aspect of it. Its definitely impressive what they were able to achieve in that size of an enclosure. what i love is the simple form factor and more importantly the price point. Im still new to modeling. The UAFX Dream 65 was my first entry that i enjoyed into this world. It really changed my perspective on amp sims which sparked my interest in profiling. I would love to try a profiler, but its kinda hard to convince myself to try a more expensive unit like the big box Tonex or the Kemper just to satisfy that curiosity. I think the Tonex One is perfect for someone like me to give it a shot since its so affordable.

I wouldn't say "I feel like they could've done 4 slots" the more the better. You can just use 4 slots if you don't want to use 20.

This does look pretty sweet, Never want to go back to that Tonex software though, and I’m color blind… Hopefully the other capture tech companies will follow suit, but with a better browsing mechanism than colors🤦🏽 The width of 1 scribble strip isn’t that much wider.

9:20 about the used market, IK Multimedia has that market somewhat under wraps because of the Tonex licensing. Theyll make you buy the software package, which often is more that the cost of the pedal! This way they push sales volume.

@guitartoneSA

Are you're saying if someone buys a used ToneX one they'll have to buy the software separately?

I’ve had every IK interface except the Tonex. I use IK with an old Line 6 Sonicport VX interface I keep in my “Traveller” EG2 travel guitar Gig bag. Never impressed with IK Multimeida’s sound, but until Kemper makes an iPhone app interface with a really small form factor, they’re the best. I tried to use IK as my on stage tone and it was so lifeless/digital, i pulled it and got my old backup HD500 out of my trunk for the secobd service.

Now that you threw it on the table, please upload some new captures on the QC cloud of the taco bolt and other pedals!

I think the guy on the left hit the nail on the head, ToneX 1 will be the digital amp to get the naysayer's attention! At first, I thought it would be UAFX Dream but +$300 is a no for many!

I’m definitely waiting till IK makes a big board with all the bells and whistles. I actually modeled my Klon with the QC 2 months after it came out. Actually didn’t like the way the QC captured it and sold the QC at month 3. I missed scribble strips and the unit was way too far behind the competition. I’ve got a feeling a big Ik board is going to crush everyone else. I just really want a helix with capture tech and now it’s too old to buy another Helix and a ToneX One to put in a loop.

They should make it where you can mix and match the colors of the 3 knobs, I previously assumed that was the case.

So have you ran the ToneX into the Kemper like Josh/JHS did the Kemper?

If only the NUX Amp Academy sounded this good. Has all the inputs and outputs a person needs but just lacks in sound. Still I use it live because no other pedal gives xlr, 1/4 inch out with a switch to defeat the ir, and an effects loop.

Why cannot IK Multimedia let you combine Overdrive pedals with the Amp Captures?I know you can have a complete Capture with OD and Amp models baked in one capture but i would rather have a choice of different Overdrives that i can select to go along with the Amp Captures?

@jabelar2008

Ай бұрын

Because they're squeezing into the hardware capabilities of a small pedal that costs $179. And like you said, you can bake in all the combos you want and switch them just as easily as controlling the overdrives independently. Sure it is a bit more work, but you can achieve the result you want.

@jimsimmons2674

They could still maybe model 3 different overdrives for example:Boost,Klon and a Tubescreamer!A baked in OD with Captured Amp is still not the same as having independent overdrives to choose from and be able to tweak the overdrive with Volume,Tone and Gain controls!A baked in overdrive with captured amp is set in stone!

So I'm confused. Let's say you profile a $5,000 Klon does that have the full functionality of the real deal?

@securitylizard2075

Ай бұрын

This is "profiling" rather than full modeling. What that means is the owner of that Klon would dial it in to "ideal" settings and run the profiling process. That means that the resulting Klon profile would respond exactly (or as close as we can reasonably achieve with current tech) like you glued the knobs in place and then plugged your guitar into the pedal. You get an accurate response which is often indistinguishable, but you can't twist any of the knobs on the pedal. Because of this, many times you'll see people produce capture packs that have multiple different capture files included. For example with a Klon you might have captures for a clean boost, then low medium and high clipping settings, and maybe even more captures with different settings on the tone knob. People also do captures WITH pedals enabled (NOT time based effects though), so if you downloaded a capture called something like "Klon low gain + Dumble ODS" that one proflie gives you the sound as if you were running that same signal chain, just again with all the knobs glued in place as they were originally set by the capturer. The knobs you see on the Tonex units are post-amp EQ rather than corresponding to the tone stack of whatever profile you are running. TL;DR: think of a Tonex profile as someone dialing in that Klon or amplifier for you, gluing the knobs in place, and handing it to you. Can't change the actual pots and switches on the circuitry, but you DO get to play through it.

This will further push pedal makers into doing “limited runs” at an increased price point. Just another evolution of the market.
