The one ESSENTIAL piece of new guitar gear in 2024 was… (NOT SPONSORED!)
As 2024 draws to a close, I thought I’d reflect on the one piece of guitar gear I’ve bought this year that I think is an essential purchase for basically every guitarist and bass player out there regardless of where you’re at on your musical journey… it’s the humble IK Multimedia ToneX One!

The riffs that changed my life as a guitar player! How I was inspired to play guitar for 30 years
Is the gold one also dodgy smt?
It doesn't seen very usefull to use live
I think exactly the same 😉
I went with a nux amp academy as it had a loop and a xlr di out But maybe I should still try it out
The Clickbait Worked! Damn you RICH !!!
I've got two of them - saves a lot of space on my desk, requires no seperate power-adapter - just USB - recording and practicing has never been easier. I wish you a merry X-mas and an inspiring new year 2025.
Putting it to use within 5 minutes sounds a bit fanciful to me. I've spent a whole afternoon trying to get on top of the pedal and the software.. it's not at all obvious to me how everything works. I am now getting really good results; having downloaded some captures from The Studio Rats and Tone Junkie. It works amazingly well.
Amazing how things have changed. One pedal for £150 can basically emulate, with incredible accuracy, a million pounds worth of pedals and amps.
I have the free VST plugin, & the few amps you get sound really good!
That stuff belongs in a museum...
What color is the les paul, cant find it
Never mind 😂. 5:17
👍🏻👍🏻
I love the look of it and the playing of the guitar was amazing but there is just one problem…no whammy bar
Do you agree with my choice, Timestamps Team?: 00:00 Hello! 01:39 THE BIG REVEAL 02:29 Why the ToneX One is so good! Price 03:04 Sounds and playing feel 04:09 Easy to use 04:31 Versatility and usage options 06:10 It’s incredibly inspirational 07:12 The not-so-good stuff 07:50 Final thoughts and goodbye
My question is, Are the normal sized pedals still traditional through hole construction or Cheap SMT builds like the mini pedals. All Boss pedals have been SMT since 2014. All the big corporate stuff is now $12.00 SMT crap as well. A eye is sheity quality.
Thanks for the video! I just got my TONE X yesterday. I agree the software isn’t terribly intuitive, so far. The standards presets are great though and yes, that feel of it was surprising to me-didn’t expect that. Without software, it can be figured out fairly quickly, but it seems all the magic is in the software, as it should be. I emailed them this morning saying the app/interface was very confusing to me. IK replied in about 3 minutes apologizing about the learning curve and can be frustrating. They attached their video tutorials which I’m sure will teach me how to use it just fine. Very nice folks. If you get confused, they are there to help you that’s for sure.
Well that's awesome customer service, and just another reason for choosing ToneX as well. I wish all companies were that on it when responding to people, let's put it that way 😉 Hope you get yourself into it ASAP, as there's loads more to discover... I might also be able to help if you are struggling, so feel free to let me know if there's anything else you can't quite wrap your head around. Try some of the free Amalgam Audio and Studio Rats presets... they were real game changers for me in terms of tone and pure feel! Enjoy 🤘
Great video
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it!
The only reasonable choice. Thomann had it for €139 in their cyberweek and it was sold out within a few days. I can only speculate how many units they sold. Definitely gear of the year.
We couldn't agree more! :) Great video 🤘
I'm not surprised to hear that! Cheers Team IK, and thanks for making this wonderful little beast of a pedal!
Sold! I’ll take 3 to get my wdw backup board!
That would be a thing to behold for sure! Do it!
Completely agree with you. I'd been using the UA Dream as my main gigging modeller for a while, but picked up a ToneX One to play around with a month or so ago. Within a week it had replaced the UA Dream on my board. Don't get me wrong, the Dream is a great pedal but the ToneX One, paired with The Studio Rats 'Best Ever Tweed' profile just sounds and feels amazing. It takes pedals brilliantly too. Now I need to get another for my practice board!
Ha ha, yep, that's what I found too... I've tried a bunch of modelers over the years (including a few from UA, which are very decent, I agree) but the ToneX was just the first one I personally connected with in that tone AND feel way. I don't miss anything from my analog amps with it, which is kind of scary and kind of great at the same time! The Studio Rats' presets are amazing, as are the ones from Amalgam Audio... enjoy yours, however many you end up with!
You expained about the bufferd or true bypass in your video but i don't understand why you place them all in series? if there is any important difference it's now inaudibel Love my (simple?) ODR-1 on 18V it's always on my pedalboard an compaires with nothing of my other overdrives
I wish the hb35 with the trem would have the bolts too
Jack is amazing, I have saved all his videos as reference to how to sound vintage
Best way to test, thank you
I wish I has gone for the wine red! Beautiful
Yep, it's such a lovely finish!
Great video!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent review fella. Great playing. I thought I had enough guitars, but I’m not sure now.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! These are definitely worth looking at if you ever get the chance... probably significantly different from anything else you might have in your collection!
more switch on the clean tune for the standard but there's not much different and the distortion sound exactly the same. the boost does makes it a bit difference. But it's like buying a tv these days lol, once you got it home there's no resolution side by side comparison so you learn to live with it lol. but for budget and quality might be the preference. I would say if that's the only guitar that you going to used then the standard. but for specific playing style and you have other guitars too then the element. thank you for your thoroughly review.
Thanks a lot for your time and efforts. As a Tonex Pedal owner I do believe I'll get a new Tonex pedal just to use in front of the Tonex itself to emulate all the pedals I need! It is better than the tonex one because of the screen that could help to recognise which stomp you are using! This device is a true killing one!!!
I'm desapointed : and solos ?
You'd be even more disappointed if you heard me trying to solo 😉 Sorry, I'm all about the riffs.
Would you pick a Charvel DK24 or the ICHI00? Trying to decide between the 2
Yeah, that's a tough one. I'd say try them both if you can as it's the feel of the necks that'll be the biggest difference for you. You can't go wrong with the ICHI but the Charvel is an awesome guitar too!
A treble booster is one of the best things you can do to a Rat.
Having tried this myself more recently as well I can confirm it's true!
well the lightspeed is a timmy ripoff with a fixed bass control, so that's a little redundant as a test
Thanks for the review, can't figure out which ones better. The string trough body seems better on the HB....the neck seems nicer on Sonic...been playing for 20 years, still can't figure out little christmas gift :D
Fantastic review as always !! Keep up the great work !! This guitar is amazing...... Just a note for anyone who is a bit worried about a Floyd Rose system - you don't need to use the Floyd Rose system, just keep the nut section unlocked - and tune it like a regular guitar.
The blue one is actually more expensive in The Netherlands. How weird.
Had both for a day, instantly returned them. Not bad, but also not awesome. But the same I could say about a Klon Centaur, Zendrive, Box of Rock or OCD. About a Tube Screamer anyway. They all did not improve my amp sound, but made it worse, trashier and more unbalaced, so nothing for me.
They need to put tremolo's on their jazzmasters.
They packed a lot into this little thing. I've had it for like 3 months and I still haven't figured out how to use it all! But, to be fair I'm not very smart. Thanks for the video. Very helpful!
but can distort it by itself?
I got the st modern.. if it said charvel on the Headstock and cost 759, I wouldn't doubt it. No joke.
I’d go with Timmy if I was going to choose 1. I’ve owned the real Prince of Tone, original Tumnus, and the Timmy V2. I’ve never tried the MXR versions but seems pretty close. I might need to grab one. . The Prince was cool but had a certain vibe and wasn’t really transparent for me. Kinda thin? But rad in its own way. The Klon and the Timmy stack really well together like they’re made for each other. They make a gain baby that’s pretty cute. Never had a Nobels…
I have the TE-62cc SFG. I don't want another guitar in the same colour. Why can't they just make a fiesta red ST Modern? I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Heck, at the very least make a black version and an olympic white version (with a white pickguard). It's insane that we can't get none of these guitars in classic colours. That goes for the TE-62cc as well. No butterscotch blonde version.
You just got another subscriber! Awesome review. Shally
this video is so helpful!! thank you!
Tumnus…. Must be the diodes?
Well sorry to be a buzzkill, but this is not new new design. It actually is almost the same as guitar called Revelation also made by Mr Etwistle. I had one back in the day, and they are very nice instruments. My only gripe back then was the fretboard made of artificial wood that I really disliked. Other than thatz awesome guitar at that price point.
For me I’m going for that hb60cc
It's such a good guitar! By far the cheapest of these three but it keeps up with the others really well. Enjoy!
