Analog tone junkie here who owns a professional recording studio and gigs constantly. This pedal solves SO many issues in SO many applications quite convincingly compared to Line 6 as far as the core tones are concerned. Form factor is genius. Any small gripes are just that- small gripes. This pedal is a godsend as far as I am concerned.
Excellent video. Thank you for not shredding so we can actually hear the tone comparison🙂. I try to do the same in my videos
Those Marshall pedals, and the captures sound fantastic.
They sound pretty close to me. Nice one guys.
The Tone X is a handy but of kit & I doubt most guitarist or audience would notice the difference in a live situation but from a players point of view, it will always still be an imitation (though well done) of the real thing..!
I love the tactile touch of using the real thing & find it more fun & in a small way more satisfying to interact with, knowing I can physically see & engage with the real pedal knobs..
This in turn helps enable me to play my best & that's hopefully better for the audience.. I can't get that same pleasure playing from an imitation as it's (to me) more than just the tone & sound itself but that love of looking at the pedalboard you've created that literally has your own unique footprint on there..
Each to their own of course.. whatever inspires you is all good .! 😎
that's just a subjektive mindset and has nothing to do with real life situation of the guitar world atm to be honest.
For bass I like it as an amp and cab sim for more modern sounds along with the compressor and reverb at the end of my signal chain before going into my Ampeg SVT DI which is either just functioning as a DI with the Tonex engaged or my go to SVT sound when I want that sound without the Tonex. Nobody does Ampeg better than Ampeg. But I prefer my own effects pedals going into it. Just not the same as the actual effects pedals I have as I’m quite happy with my dialed in sounds. But the amp and cab sims are great!
Getting closer aren’t they!
ToneX capture of Strymon Deco tape saturation please 🙏
Great video 🙏
Really nice captures although tonex sounds like it needs a lil LPF filtering somewhere around 8-10k. Amazing device!
Do the pedal capture clean up with the guitar volume knob the way the real pedals do?
I have the Hendrix fuzz and I don’t think you can capture it as it’s a simple circuit that interacts hugely on the amount of signal you give it from the guitar. It cleans up beautifully and has so much soul. All of your captures sound like maxed out distortion with no dynamics and little articulation and character. Perfect for the modern day 😅
I’m not sure if that means you like it or not?
got the jam fuzz phrase si… that topology seems to even react to pedals behind it…
Digital probably won't ever be able to give 100% perfect recreations of vintage fuzzes, but they do give 90% of the feel and sound with 0% of the downsides of a vintage fuzz.
I wish I could actually BUY one of these things. They're out of stock everywhere!
Not a bad problem for IK to have.
Hi James, I really got something from this. I’ve just bought the Tonex 1 in my quest for a ‘sound’. I know you like Eric Clapton and what I’m looking for is his sound at the intro of Phil Collins’ “I Wish It Would Rain Down”, that creamy overdrive. Any suggestions? I’ve already got the Marshall Silver and the Matchless captures. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I’ll have a look and see what I can come up with.
@@TSR-JiveyTalksTech incidentally I have purchased the pedals pack and the soldano pack. I am using an Eric Clapton “Blackie” guitar with the Tonex 1 with a power amp and speaker. Hope this helps. Thanks.
Tonex one = £150, the other pedals combined say x10 the price?? Its brilliant for its form factor, tones, ease of use and portability. The new update coming means lots of additional FX too. Honestly a great tool for gigging. Is it a real TS08 and a dumble - NO. Does it sound good and have great application for very very little money - YES
I never liked real fuzzy fuzz face so the tonex works for me
Can the Tone X sit at the end of a pedalboard signal chain? Does it take Overdrive, Distortion and Fuzz pedals well?
yes
Yes. I was using ToneX as my amp sim in this demo. ToneX One was just the stomp boxes.
How do you like your nashville tele? do you use the middle pick up much?
Love it….. so much better than the 60th Anniversary while one, which I sold. However, I don’t find I use the centre pickup much, if at all.
Never heard James play guitar before, your vibrato sounds great! Nice & slow.
Thanks very much.
Next up, Paul Drew playing the drums 😂
I only play instruments
Now that I would pay to hear……. Stop.
@@TheStudioRats LMAO!
I dont like Fuzz but in this case it was quiet good.
Presets… They always sound great as you make them and just a bit wrong the next time you play them.
Every damn time
Great observation! LOL
NO. dont shrink your pedalboard. tonex makes space for one more.
It's a computer.
Well, it’s a pedal really……. Just connected to a computer for this demo.
bought a tonex one, i sent it back that day, noisy, software is a nightmare to navigate, you have to shell out a pile more money to get the upgrade, and it didnt sound good to my ears, my suhr tele through my DR z amp is 10 times better
