Great job IK Multimedia! Thoughts guys? Also, in case you want to try my captures on this pedal, you can find them here: www.tone.net/tonex/collections/sonic.drive.studio/heavy.legends.complete
@@voa.aquino Now that's some innovative thinking! Plugging a guitar straight to the PA. I like that. Your guitar having a USB C port, and you can just import your sounds into your guitar. And the controls would be in the guitar itself. You could also have a midi port in the guitar, so you could time program tone switches.
Very cool! Was eyeing the tonex full but now going to just get one of these. Wish it was $149 instead of $179, but I’ll still get one. That and an ox stomp
@@donniejean I might just hold out a bit until a couple used ones start to show up. But you’re 💯% right, would have been nice for a good holiday sale to take a little extra off the top
Its mindblowing to think how they crammed all that into the leftover space of a 1590A box, after the switch, jacks and pots. Really good sounding captures. As always, you have the tastiest heavy riffs that benchmarks and justifies the tones of all devices you review.
I just watched 3 other youtubers do vids on this pedal before seeing yours. Your vid is the most concise and shows every detail what it can do. Thanks!
This thing is cool!! I’m definitely going to be giving this pedal a try! Looks like a great cost effective way of getting into the toneX stuff. I’m sold.
Good clear explanation of the pedals functions. I do believe that it comes with a free copy of the Tonex software which will allow unlimited downloads of user created presets.
Sweet! I’ve been eyeing a Tonex pedal for a while but never pulled the trigger. This is a really smart move by them and 20 presets are more than enough for me. However… When I compare the price to its bigger brother you get quite a lot more when choosing that for double the price. Nonetheless, these will sell really well and I will probably get one and combine it with my HX Stomp for a small but powerful rig.
@@BikFlofer little di box will do the trick nicely too. I have a radial di that’s quite small I use for things like this. Even the big tonex doesn’t have XLR. That one I feel like should have had it but who knows. I’m sure there’s some reason they didn’t but I would have liked my big one to have it at least.
It really made me laugh when you showed the comparison clip with the pedal off playing the same thing. Basically then the pedal makes anything sound amazing, turns you into a stadium rock star 😂
it reminded me of that scene in Tenacious D: The Greatest Songs for All when they record in the shopping mall booth; it sounds tinny and rubbish, and then it changes to how the song sounds in their mind. It's precisely the same type of thing when you turn the effects off on the pedal and play what it sounds like without the pedal. 😂😂😂
Man, the price is right with this pedal for what it offers. I have the bigger brother of the tonex, and I don't need this pedal, but if I can get the same killer tones in a smaller package, I could clear off some desk space. I can get down with this 😎
Will be possible to use amplitube amps in this pedal?I own Slash version and I'd like to use the pedal with AFD100, for example, if it's possible I'll buy it for sure
Good content, well written. You have a nice voice and you you are easy to hear and understand. But the constant camera cuts with zoom in and zoom out didn't sit right with my eyes. I had to keep looking away
Thank you for your great tutorial video! I really love some of tones that i’ve created in my Helix using it’s virtual amps and compressors/stomps making many of recordings and using live for years. Now i’m the owner of a Tonex One pedal and i’d like to capture my favorite HElIX complex amp tones for this small unic captures player but i can’t find anything online with this specific question. I guess this process could be very easy and very useful not for me only and I’d be happy to have an advice from you! Thank tyou again!
Meh, I've used multi effects pedals by Zoom, Valeton, and Mooer with hundreds of banks and a built-in expression pedal that sounded just as good for less money. 🤷♂️🙄
The One is not a game changer! Everything is already included in the pedal, the One has just limited functionality (ports) and a reduced size. And without a MIDI port you can only change it´s model by pressing a button manually while the pedal can be changed with MIDI. In this combination useless
it's no better than other digital sounding pedals from last 20 years. I don't get it why it's getting so much hype, sounds plain digital and awful to my ears. Get a real tube amp like a engl powerball or 5150 you'll hear a massive difference
Damn, sucks for people that are color blind🤦🏽, this does look pretty sweet otherwise. Color coding seems to be the hot trend now in capture tech. Hopefully this triggers other companies to make a competitor but with better browsing mechanisms than colors.
I'm careful with the word gamechanger... but damn... This plus a power amp (like a Seymour Duncan Powerstage) might just be my ideal live rig. Pleease tell me the stereo out can be configured to have an IR on one channel and no IR on the other...
I love this pedal, the more and more I watch all the demos! What I am actually considering is grabbing the software and just make captures of all these models to my QC lol. Great vid, Jon!
Now imagine if IK Multimedia actually listened to feedback and to the needs of gigging musicians and added low cut and high cut to tonex... As every other modeler and profiler on planet. But no... They wont get my money for this until they have a freaking high cut in their pedals.
Great tone. Thanks for making these captures, the DuRect red modern capture gave me that childlike wonder I haven’t feel for a while when it comes to guitar. Will there ever be a heavy legends volume 3?
Can I have it with just preamp emulations, no power amp, nor cabinet IR? I’m thinking about the possibility of using it in the FX return of a real amp, depending on what is available where I go.
Is there a RUclips influencer that plays classic rock? It seems as though there is only blues players, church players and thrashers. Let's hear some hard rock and early metal samples please
This thing will be a perfect companion for my HX effects. What a time to be alive. I just have to figure out how to use it in FX loop efficiently since it doesn't support midi control.
Only $40 more than the TC IR loader pedal that's the same size. Being able to load models and IRs in such a small form factor is incredible. Edit: Just saw the TRS out works with headphones, incredible!
You should do a blind side-by-side with this, a Quad Cortex, and a real amp but not post results, just to put all the goofy "OnLy ReAl AmPs SoUnD gOoD" people in the comments to rest.
Pair it with the pot Express and you have a great rig I have the tonex pedal and an HX stomp but they can't be powered by batteries this is like the perfect quick and easy backup solution in case something goes out
Depends on what you want out of it. If you want to be able to load more captures and scroll between them with your feet the bigger one is better. If you only need a couple sounds at your feet this small one is great
When you said that there’s no compromise on the sound even it’s a smaller unit, it’s immediately a must buy for me since Im fan of how tonex sounded compared to most modelers I know.
Man.. these will sell like crazy! IK really gets it! A couple of quick questions, is the Reverb type only selectable via the software? Also does the output plug double for headphones?
What I would love to see is the ability to do midi switching of presets. So say if I wanted to put it in the loop of my Helix LT to used for multiple amp tones and do all of the switching and the fx via the helix.
This thing is crazy cool! The learning curve seems pretty steep with lots of combinations to memorise, but I imagine after a while you'd figure out what features you need to access and what you don't. I'll take a powerful unit with a lot of "hold this for 3 seconds, then press this, then twist this and chant it's name in the mirror three times" features over something that's been purposely watered down for ease of use.
That’s perfect. After using the big one I decided that it was bigger than the couple pedals and amp sim that I’d mainly use it for. Plus programming a plethora of tones into presets within my midi controller became cumbersome. So at some point I decided I just wanted to profile my amp and stick it under my board. It was too big. So I sold it and got a Walrus ACS1. Now that this has come out I’m gonna definitely swap. Although the ACS1 sounds great I know I’ll be able to get what I want with the profiling also as a bonus I’ll probably make money selling the walrus after I buy this.
I've owned both a dual and a single rectifier and they never sounded scooped and sizzlyd...I mean unless I dialed them in that way. Idk, it's been at least a decade since I've owned one so maybe I never noticed.
@@SonicDriveStudio Me personally I thought it sounded mid heavy on it's own. I had to dial back the mids and always had to have a boost or an overdrive in front of it to get a heavy saturated tone. Anyways, the tonex pedal looks interesting. Sounds legit from what I've heard so far. A lot of hype surrounding it.
Assuming you're not joking: the FM9 is a very different kind of product. Something like this isn't meant to replace that. However, if a couple of great amp tones is all you need, go for it ;)
Nice demo! Do you think this think makes obsolete all pre amp pedals out there? I was thinking of pulling the trigger on the TC Electronic Dual Wreck, but I also wanted the 550... with this it seems it is just a better choice. The question will be how close it gets to the real amplifier sound
That's very subjective! This thing is great for loading captures so it depends on what you load into it and how much tweakability you need on the unit itself...
@@SonicDriveStudio Yeah true. Maybe not as easy to dial in different tones. But if you go to a "set" tone that you just dont' change... You can change the broader amp settings via USB cable only right? No mobile app as for example the Spark amp has?
They didn't *need* to make it so tiny, did they? Increase the size for a couple more ports/features, and nobody would even think this tiny version was needed...
@@JohnWikusize seems good to me. Ymmv. Plus, if you add more features, you bump up the price and push out more potential customers. It’s a balance. Time will tell.
Awesome video man. The only improvement that I would surely welcome is a gate with downward extention multiband denoising- like the Bertom denoiser. Some of the high-gain Tone models are quiet with the current gate when not playing, but tend to allow a lot of noise and hiss through while playing. I've found the Bertom denoiser ridiculously helpful for in DAW studio recording, but when I play live with Tonex pedal I find room for improvement. Helix has a better gate imo. Outside of this aspect, Tonex is king!
Have you ever done a capture yourself and compared the model directly to the reference? It's quite impressive. Even on the fast mode, it's still absolutely amazing, although not necessarily exactly like the tone it modeled.
@@williamseeger6215 You got the point of my thoughts. I think I prefer not a real copy of a real amp for modern Metal songwriting, but something different probably. I came from a 6505+ head & cab and a quad cortex but I still prefer the sound of a Cali suite by Neural over my solid Peavey on every aspect, sound clarity, sub bass on palm mute etc. The other one that sounds comparable to what I like (today) after every comparison on Yt it seems like Ampero Mini and Ampero 2 stage. The other simulators has a "copy of a real one" approach, same hi Freq buzz, same bass/mid mug on chugs and so on.
@@theknightdrifter totally understand. I’m not creating my own captures or anything. But I do find great tones that chug with little to no effort. That’s why I love the thing.
all these tone capture gizmos and software just dont sound like the real thing. Tonex butchers high gain/high frequencies big time and if u cant hear it then chop your ears off and throw away your gittars and speakers. NAM is obviously a hassle compared to Tonex but it does a much better job of reproducing high gain. u can tool around forever making captures with either but unless u have a great SM57 etc and are a genius at micing up then u will NEVER capture something that makes u happy. there is just so much missing doing preamp captures and using IRs. im a metalhead and for amp sims ive tried nearly all but i cant go past Tonality Josh Middleton. bottom line just get a great amp, crank it up, have fun, get creative and dont waste time with this tone capture BS!
Great job IK Multimedia! Thoughts guys? Also, in case you want to try my captures on this pedal, you can find them here: www.tone.net/tonex/collections/sonic.drive.studio/heavy.legends.complete

Get a patch cable or a 1/4 of 1/4 coupler and you could wear this thing on your strap like a katana go or even put it in your pocket
I just wish they had (usb) MIDI functionality for all those presets.
I wish it had an XLR output, it would literally be perfect for live performances!
Normally would agree but it would be impossible to fit at this size
