Let me know your thoughts and if you want to win a FREE Tonex Max license, be sure to write down why you think you should win! The winners will be announced on my official channels soon! Cheers!
Hey Jon! I should win because I do youtube videos too (mostly lessons).
Hey Jon i should win to because i made some videos with guitar and i dont have any real amp, check my all videos
Hey John, I already have the tonex pedal... Is there any chance i can find your sounds on the "tonex web"? As I really like your movies and sounds 👍
I can tell B is the real amp by the palm muted chugging. Just reacts differently to my ears. That being said, the Tonex sounds amazing and saves so much time and effort in the studio!
Hello Jon!!! I just purchased the SDS Tone Heavy Legends Vol 2 and let me tell you these are the BEST captures I have had the pleasure of owning so far. Wow! these are great! I love that you just captured the Amps by themselves. It makes a big difference. Keep up the great work and I'll continue to look out for more of your captures in the future.
Thanks for that comment. I was initially super disappointed with my purchase because I didn't notice those were amp-only captures and obviously it sounds shit without a cab.
I would love a Tonex licence since I'm into some old Orange, Matamp, Earth, Sunn and vintage Ampeg amps that are too big,heavy and hard to ship, and most need a ton of work and a good tech get to a playable state, so helping a Community grow and preserve these kind of amps would be fantastic, thanks.
I am always on the lookout for good high gain tones for my bedroom project studio recordings, so I would love the full version of Tonex. Thanks for the videos! Your high gain tones are always fantastic
Thank you so much for making these direct models. I too find the flexibility to switch out IR’s so much more useful than models married to a cab.
What a great tone, and they sound identical! The riffs do a great job of showing off the tone as well. I'd love a chance at a Tonex license to see for myself.
Recently, I began uploading guitar playing videos to RUclips on a weekly basis. It would be fantastic to have the Tonex, as it offers a wider variety of tones and can greatly enhance audio quality. The software sounds amazing; in fact, I was even contemplating selling my multi-effects pedal to acquire the Tonex pedal. However, if I were to win a software license, such a step wouldn't be necessary. This way, I could hold onto my pedal, which I genuinely adore. I've been a follower of your channel for many years, and you've truly become a standard-bearer in terms of sound quality
You've really peaked my interest with this comparison. I'm shocked how close they are. The riffs are tops as always. I'd like a license to honestly rediscover what IK is all about these days. They fell off the radar for me for a time. You Sir appear to have remedied that. Thanks again! Keep them slammin riffs rollin!
The pursuit of the perfect tone is infinite and subjective. A journey with no borders or finish line. It's been 4 years already since I started mine and Tonex is absolutely a top tier conquest partner in this story, for its competente in recreating the feel and soul of character and behaviour of all the best gears. I'd love to be part of the MAX Team! 😮
I missed this 😢. Your playing is always inspiring. Not that it matters now but I’d have liked a license to finally get the sound of real amps in my recordings. It’s incredible how close this comparison was. What a product. Keep em coming and take care.
They both sound great and monsterous. I think B had a little more going on in the upper mids.
Am surprised B wasn't the ToneX exactly because of this, I've found the ToneX to have a signature small emphasis on the upper mids. Not this time apparently!
A and B comparison reaches a point that it is not possible to tell the difference. I love your content with Rockerverb, and if I win the Tonex Giveaway it would be to definitely leave my Orange in the rehearsal room and play at home with the PC
I honestly couldn't tell the difference very surprised, really makes me want to finally try out digital modeling.
Just wanted to let you know that I got the Heavy Legends pack and I’m loving it! I’m addicted to the Rockerverb and Dark Terror models.
Holy F***I was convinced the A was the real amp, I would love to be able to have that tone, good luck everyone!
I liked them both. B sounded brighter and more forward. But, at the this point it doesn't really matter. They both sound awesome.
A very slight low mid is more present on the actual amp but without an AB there is no way to tell which is which. Anyone claiming otherwise should stop listening with their eyes. I'd like a license to ToneX max, I am an indie small time guitar player trying to get a project started and I am in a process to determine the tone I want for it ... but I am no millionaire to demo dozens of amps and play around with them! ToneX is definetly the efficient and cost effective way to do it.
Well yea, I would love a license for ToneX. I would use to to explore the different amp models and use it to inform me if getting a ToneX pedal would be worth it. Going through different amps as I am practicing is really fun, and inspiring when I am trying out new riffs in that eternal tone chase.
Awesome tone, awesome playing! I would very much like to have the Tonex license to play at home, compose and continue learning. Best regards!
Awesome video! Seriously, your riffs always are so good. Doesn’t matter which modeler is used lol. But, initially, I thought the real one was “A” and I was wrong. So it fooled me. Tonex really does nail a lot of these captures. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻 I would love to have a license to Tonex! I’ve been dying to get it but just don’t have the funds. :)
Thanks for doing this giveaway! I would like to win a licence because I find the technology of capturing exciting and don't have anything that can do that. Also I'm very interested to try and capture some of the digital gear that I have and see how good of a job it does.
Great stuff. Would echo the support for some NAM comparisons. I'd like to win because I preferred the Tonex in this example, so I ain't gonna say no to some sick free tones.
Sounds EPIC !!! I would like a license to BLARE THAT AMAZING TONE ALL THROUGHOUT MY HOUSE... please !!!
In the context of a dense heavy mix no one can tell the difference. Sounds great and thanks for making this video!!!
Oh hell yeah! Thanks for the opportunity 😊
Absolutely crushing tones as always!!!!
So much closer than I expected! I would love to win a license. It would help me integrate silent practice to keep from disturbing the family.
I'm putting together a small studio setup right now, and Tonex is literally the last thing I need to complete it. I've been doing research for months and it seemed like the best quality option for the price.
Hello John ! How're You ? Congrats great job ! You did an awesome profile ! No way to understand the difference between hardware and software they are identical ! With Ik Multimedia's TONEX you can have the same features of a real amp ! Thank You to Ik for their wonderful software/ system and thank you a thousand to John for his tone knowlwdge and ability to set amps ! I'll be really honored to be choosed as winner of one of the five licenses ! I started to be an Ik afficionado since their day one ! I use to play tonex as standalone into Ik's Amplitube 5 MAX !
Oh yeah! And I'd love to win a license. Since I'm only recording at home, it would be GREAT to have TONEX Max! 😎🤘🤘
Ohhh!!!!!! I'm impressed. I thought B was the Tonex, I liked the tone of A a little better, but the difference is so imperceptible that it doesn't matter. The Tonex looks like a tremendous tool for my home studio.
I would like to have a license to ToneX to get recording sounds in my recording in home.
They sound exactly the same. Nice!
Wow, I'm really surprised because I dig the version A. I'm always looking for more interesting quad tracked tones that I can pair with my tube amps. Tonex has plenty of great options, so I could definitely use the licence for sick tones!
As always, awesome tones and even better riffs. I love the way the Tone X mimics the tone of that orange amp. It is just awesome. I have been looking around for a amp modeler like this for a while now but only trying out the free versions to see what I like. And the Tone X modeler is just the right choice for that. I am currently using a combo amp at home which works, but can be quite annoying when you want to have a bit more control over your sound and volume. If I would be able to get the Tone X modeler I would be able to explore the different sounds it comes with and try out new stuff. It would be such a perfect plugin. And ofcourse there is a lot of awesome tones that comes with it.
Love the content Sonic. Keep making awesome videos!
Been using Tonex's free version and your profiles for months now. Probably upgrading to max anyway, but would love to win the license. It still amazes me how close Tonex comes to the real recorded amps. really lke how you demonstrate the profiles in a musical way. Came here for the comparison, stayed for the great riffs.
Honestly, I couldn't tell. I recently bought the Tonex and I love it for providing amazing tone. I believe it is a one of best modeler out there. the fact that makes these captures very precise it is an AI that they build in the unit. that why Kemper and Quad Cortex. are inconsistence with their capturing amp tones. keep up the great work.
This is the first video Ive watched that actually made me want to get this program I need all the tones!
I tried the Tonex pedal once and I loved it! I think is one of the best modelers out there, especially considering the price!
With these blind tests, I always tend to guess that the "better" sounding amp is the real amplifier, because of course it would be, and I'm always wrong. I've slowly come to realize that when choosing an amp in these blind tests, the amp that sounds better to me is the model! That was definitely true here. I guessed that A was the model simply because it sounded better to me!
I would love to have the Tonex software simply because I would never be able to try out all of these legendary amplifiers in real life.
Thanks!
Incredible! I could not tell the difference 😮
I would love to have Tonex. I'm a hobbyist who plays only plug into a real amp and I think the tones from Tonex are some of the best I've heard, so I think it's the time I go digital. Thanks !
Would love a copy of the Tonex MAX software! Have Amplitube 5 MAX and have been saving up for the Tonex pedal and associated MAX version of that software. Super cool video! I couldn't tell the difference, lol. Keep on rocking, love your channel!
They were so close. It was at the very beginning at the first change and my ears (on decent but not great ear buds) picked out the fuller base on B. Then for most of the song I couldn't tell. It wasn’t until the very end where I heard the fuller base again and made my guess that B was the real amp. But they were so close.
As someone trying to be a home studio musican with a die hard love for valve amps. Getting the tonex would be cool to have access to great sounding amp Sims without annoying my neighbors.
Keep up the good work!
The picking bit on the high strings was beautiful, by the way. I was hearing tons of vocal melody potential.
It sounds like B is real and A is capture. B has a bit of a fuller low end and less harsh top end. It’s very close though.
And yeah, I’d love to have a copy of ToneX! I record guitars for the songs I write and having the chance to add captures of actual amps that I like the sound of would be amazing!
I cannot tell the difference. I thought I might have heard something on the high end frequencies, but further listening negated that assumption.
I would like the license because I would like to capture my super sick, definitely better than everyone's metal tone that I've developed over the past decade. And then I'll share with whomever wants it!
Cool comparison! The amp seemed to have slightly more harmonics in the mutey-chuggy bits in the comparison, but if I hadn't been listening for differences I probably wouldn't have noticed. I'd of course love to win a license to check out the cool new thing and compare it to Amplitube and NeuralDSP!
Yes man, I need tonex license. It's the most interesting plugin going on nowadays together with NAM. Love them both.
Honestly couldn’t notice any difference between the two. Seems quite capable piece of software. It would be nice to try one out since i really don’ t have much experience with such plugins nor several real amps either.
Great video as usual man, I would love one of those licenses since I live in Brazil and it would cost me around 5 times more than the dollar price to get Tonex.
Thanks a lot and keep rocking those tones!
A has a bit smoother top end, less bite and attack especially on those mute scrapes, and a slightly inflated low end/low mid compared to B, and B was a bit more gritty and spikey, as well as more open, in the upper mids, but I only noticed with earbud headphones. I couldn't tell with my computer speakers because it's so subtle, nor could I tell which was which until after the reveal. I won't spoil it.
I really could not tell a difference between A and B. That’s what makes Tonex so great. It would be great to utilize all the different tones in there and see what can be achieved.
Great tone as always! I’d like to have tonex max too. I’d like to use it for more flexible preset tweaking. More tones always good too)
Man, in the mix, I could not tell the difference. That is really close. I would love to win a copy of Tonex Max. I don't have a big budget for gear, so it would be a fantastic way to try different amps. I plan on getting a Tonex Pedal at some point, so this would be a great way to get familiar with it. Thanks!
EDIT: Even after the reveal, I could not discern a difference, damn.
Very close sounding. There was one clip that Amp B sounded a little warmer,/fuller so I guessed that was the analog amp. There were other clips that Amp B sounded a little brighter/clearer, so I guessed that was the ToneX. So, now it looks like a little warmer/fuller and a little brighter/clearer were the characteristics of the analog amp. I'll have to remember that for future Blind Test guessing. Thanks
I haven’t played any kind of effects pedal whether it is an amp simulator or effect pedals and I frankly don’t know how to use it. I jut recently purchased an ibanez gio mu first electric guitar without knowing the effects of anything else. But now as I dig and dig deeper on the amp simulator, it seems that catches my attention. You don’t have to buy big amplifier and different kinds of pedal and one is already plenty just as how you. demonstrated sir. How cool is that! Hope to catch up with you and the other guitar players in the world. 31 years old and just uncapable of doing what you are doing guys. But the old adage says never to stop learning and I hope I can win your licenses tonex. And I swear I will be the best version of myself and learning and learning until I see myself drastically improve. I am teaching in Thailand and the same time expat trying to earn for a living. But when i see a guitar, stress and anxiety go away. Rock on sir😎
This is one of the closest sounds in the channel, so good. Definitely would like to win and test in depth the Tonex software.
I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the two when listening on a decent pair of speakers. I could also use a license of Tonex Max for recording some sick rock and metal songs and publish them for fun.
I really like the tones, i'm currently using the free version and definitely would love to get in for the giveaway for a chance to get the full, with all of those tone options
yeah I was totally wrong lol (I prefered tonex since it sounded a hair brighter in the mix)
also thanks for the giveaway, right now I'm using a boss katana that sounds great through the speaker, but not so much with the cab sim on headphones, so this would really help
I heard some slight differences on some of the riffs, but I could not tell you which one is the real amp ... very nice demonstration. Thanks for your work and for the giveaway.
Cheers from Texas!
🤘😺🤘
Long time fan! Your amp wall is beyond epic! 🎉
I would use the Tonex for church to avoid bringing amps/cabs.
Also for small venues
Great channel/video
Peace
I've been following your channel for quite some time now, and since the first time I heard the tones you can pull out I got hooked. So, for me to enjoy all those juicy chugs and tone captures on my own I'd really like to have one of those licenses!
If you don't have experience in recording, you can have awesome tube amplifiers, speakers, microphones, and still have poor sound in a home studio. Than you can have Tonex and just focus on writing :) That's why I want him.
Sound the same 😮
Wow I got my tonex a couple of months ago and haven’t yet taking out of the box yet lol
Trying to find good tones to use it’s my second one first one didn’t have the greatest love for it so sold it
But hearing how good the orange sounds might be time to open 😊
I guessed that B was the real one. Would love to win one of those licences cause I'm starting a career in mixing and it would help me a lot dialing some great tones. Thank you Jon for the video.
Wow, I think you're my new favorite guitar player! I couldn't tell the difference. I'm wearing noise canceling earbuds. Killer riff... Killer tone. I just bought Amplitube 5 Max, I would love to add Tonex to my arsenal. Thank you for the content.
I love the Orange Rockerberb it's perfect for heavy Alternative music
I think A is the modeler and B is the real deal
This is one of the few times I could actually hear a difference, and it was really minor
It sounded silly close, tbh! I think the real amp maybe had an ever so slightly rounder top end and thus sounded a tiny bit warmer (sort of as if they'd rolled off a presence knob on it), but I'm not even sure if I was just making that up for whatever reason! Sounded absolutely killer, both of them. Cool stuff and thanks for the comparison!
Of course I want tonex because who does'nt want more guitar stuff! But seriously it's such a convinient way to try different guitar amps without actually having them
Awesome comparison video as usual! I honestly couldn't tell a difference at all!! I'd love to get one of the licenses! I am just starting up my home studio and this would help out tremendously! Love all of your stuff Jon!
Man this tonex stuff blows me away. I started playing with amplitube recently and it's pretty impressive.
I'd love to win a license so I don't have to further ruin my back lugging around heavy amps and cabinets.
Love your videos!
Great Sound! I would love to compare Tonex vs. my other Plugins and Kemper amps.
Sounds really great! I would really like to check out the "feel" of the Tonex, since when it comes to the sound in the mix, I don't think anyone can tell the difference! Great job!
I would love to compare by my self and use the licence for recordings 🙌
A is the physical amp and B is tonex. Honestly dont have a clue but i feel like the A had more "dynamic" high end but we are splitting hair here. Differences in tone are minute and both sound good
edit: Well there we go, i got it wrong :D:D
Would love a license! I have a small home studio in a room I share with e laundry machines, and with a young baby in the house, using my amps really never gets to happen anymore sadly... therefore, the great tones of TONEX would be awesome!🤘🎸
I'd love to check out what Tonex is capable of! It sounds amazing in this video especially with your ear for tone and the crushing riffs you always write. As a non-gigging musician that had to sell almost all of his amps recently, I really would like to try out alternatives like this software since the technology has come so far in recent years
Amazing! I tried to listen without looking at the screen but they are really close. I thought A was Tonex and B was the amp, A sounded clearer in my ears.
Would like to get a MAX to make my DAW workflow simpler with it.
Nice comparison, i had never the opportunity to even touch a real tube amp (where I'm from, rock isn't a thing), so for me both sounds really close. Well, i want to win one of the Tonex Licenses because for me will be a great upgrade to my desk studio and i want to improve my records with a real professional software like that. Thank you!
Really very good sounds and very close to the amp. 🤘🔊🔥🔥🔥
Hell Yeah, very cool contest. This software is amazing. If I won I would use it to record demos for my band, right now we are a Deftones tribute band but I've slowly been creating some originals. Cheers from Dallas, Texas.
I would enjoy trying your captures via Tonex. Thanks for all the excellent content!
Sounds really similar to the real amp. Some high-end thumbs and mutes were the most obvious giveaway, I guess, but I bet they will make it even more convincing in the future. Soling tune btw! I would love to get the license, because money is a bit short atm, and I would use it daily to play and record my band with a bit more convincing crunch tones.
Can't wait to see the Schecter C-VI at the action!
I've been watching videos on the advancement of amp sims, and the tonex seems like they're part of the next step. I would love to use it in my bedroom studio, this type of gear just makes sense for us.
Great compare, even with headphones I could not tell the diff. I'd love to win a license and use Tonex to record guitar for my next album (recorded in the basement!). Helix Native and Neural DSP would go on the back burner...
I would take A because the sound is more present, but this can also be due to a little more volume. Otherwise I would take the Tonex because of the price and the only marginally different sound.
Best Orange juice ever, tastes soo good! :D I'm writing my first rock album in Italian, with influences from bands like Verdena and Afterhours, I would like to use some of these tones 🤘🎸🤯
I would definitely love to win a ToneX license as I recently moved and had to drastically downsize my amp collection. ToneX would really help me to get back some of the tones I had to give up since my new space is way too small for lots of amps.
BTW... Love these comparison vids (keep them coming!) and I actually guessed correctly. The low end in the chugs of the ToneX tones is slightly more compressed. Overall though in the mix it was pretty difficult to hear the difference.
You always do a great job on your videos. I thought that both the Tonex and the amp sounds great. I would use the Tonex to record some new music for sure. Hope I can get one of those licenses. Either way, thanks for the opportunity.
With the OR30 out now and tempting me daily, I’ve been debating the next step for my home studio. I don’t think the amp + cab are quite in the cards yet, so I would love a MAX license to start recording! Great tone in the video too, I totally picked A as the amp and was pleasantly surprised to be wrong!
Whatever you play, your riffs and mixing make the difference! And I'm in for the contest! Wanna buy your Tonex Pack.
Hi, in case you missed my announcement, you're one of the winners. Send me a personal message on Facebook or Instagram (Sonic Drive Studio) and I'll get you sorted! Cheers, Jon
man that comparison really got me. A from my speakers had a little more top end but just slightly more so than B I was definitely wrong about which one was tone x and that is pretty awesome.
My guess -> B sounds more open to me and I'd say is the real amp, but honestly, both sound fantastic and non-digital. EDIT: it seems I guessed right, but the difference is really small
Preferred the sound of A, but B sounded great as well. Hard to explain why, but ToneX has consistently done this.. when it's different (or inaccurate) it's in a way that is pleasing to the ears in terms of the sonic characteristics and EQ profile. It's subtle differences.. I just find it odd that when there is a blind test.. I usually prefer the ToneX. Nice that it is so cheap and can sound so good.. it's not perfect but the basic tones are very nice.
I really need that ToneX licence so I can finish some of the songs that I've been working on for the last 25 years 🙁
Quality tones would really help to motivate me again. 👍
i really thought tone "A" was the real amp bc it sounded better to me and it was Tonex! i definitely would like to win the Tonex licence because i want to jam and record with all the super expensive dream amp captures like the iic+. Tonex sounds like the real deal. cheers!
Another mind melter. I had no idea which was which. Thanks for doing this.
Please put me in for the Tonex license drawing. I'm aiming to get a similar sound in my home studio for some worship music. I currently use universal audio models and I like them but this video sounds better. However, I have a sense you could get a bombastic sound playing out of a sparkomatic stereo.
I really want one of those licenses to my home recording demos or even for the real thing.
I couldn't tell on phone audio but B was better on headphones. That said, A was clear in the mix. Might be a cool idea to use the real amp and the tonex with a 75/25 split for extra clarity in a mix
