This thing sounds great considering the size and price! Probably a waste of time to mention this but I really wish people would just stop with the whining in gear video comments. We are all lucky to be able to have such choices as guitar players right now. Maybe just don’t buy it if you don’t like it. Maybe for some people this device is just affordable enough to give people a chance for something that is a step up from what they have or maybe it inspires someone because they do like some of the tones it offers?!?! Try playing guitar instead of negativity and you might be surprised at how much happier you actually are for it.
IK is absolutely killing it lately. I love my ToneX. This unit would be perfect for my tiny practice setup. The stereo feature is the one thing I wanted and they included it.
Super cool that it takes all the standard tonex models and captures. I think they went out of their way to make it super small, as if it were standard pedal size we'd be just as impressed.
I have the full fat Tonex pedal run in the effects loop of the Boss GT1000 core... and its absolutly awesome. Small light weight pedalboard that does everything I could ever need, and to top it off I control the Tonex via midi from the Gt1000, select the patch on the boss the Tonex switches instanly to the corresponding patch. Thats the only thing that seems to be missing from this new offering. Honestly give it a go, and if your still not sure check out the Tim Pearce video on the big Tonex!
I have IK’s X-Time delay pedal on my board next to my ToneX. I keep wondering how hard it would be for them to just jam that delay pedal into slightly bigger ToneX box.
Agree absolutely, the One is not a game changer as mentioned. 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
The cheapest way into the ecosystem for me was the AXE/IO. It came with Tonex SE, but I did spring for the Dumble pack. I'm usually running it with my iPad and L/R out into my studio monitors. Everyone's tastes are different, but I've settled into a few captures on top of the Dumbles that I love, and whose dynamics and realism blows me away. Otherwise, it's an extraordinary rabbit hole of auditioning captures and not really playing. I can see real merit in this for a gigging musician, which I am not.
18 year old me: "20 amps is completely impossible and insanely expensive." 45 year old me: "I have 20 amps somewhere in my bag. It's a tiny box, I'll have to look where it is. I bought it yesterday on a whim."
Wow this is incredible, the form factor, ease of use and price. To be honest, for those of us who don't want to be tweaking knobs forever and just play with a good tone, it is perfect. Its the software technology in a tiny pedal!
@@Joejoe-nt3gc So I'm really interested in how you see the functionality. As soon as I saw a computer required and no midi I assumed it's live capability was compromised. OK I guess if you just want 2 amps.
@@Joejoe-nt3gc True however switching between different amps & cabs with no display (no lights are not a display) & using the tiny knobs does not make this a good live pedal. They should have made it slightly larger & included at least a digital display that could show which "patch" you were on. So really the larger pedal is the better option, has a large display, has midi, has large knobs to tweak things & of course has the full suite of software, all for $150 more.
Awesome video. 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!
Nice user interface decision to have the three LED’s change from red to green when switching presets. Heck, all of the user interfacing stuff is well thought out. Might appeal to luddites!
This right here is being peddled by every single TH-camr right now, which tells me that all of these guitarists are not guitarists anymore but salesmen now!
I finally got mine, it's really good and super tiny! My only complaint is the software, it does take a bit to learn how to get around. I mainly tested against my line 6 HX stomp, the amp captures are so much more dynamic. Super great guitar tool
It might sound outrageous to some but ....Leonardo da Vinci was born in Italy and so many others excellent subjects....like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati all of which by coincidence are born in the same area (Modena) .....where IK Multimedia is from 🙂
@@giacomocastellano-official True and correct but he was only taken as simple example of how our land can be generous when geniuses are involved. Don't be too reductive ..otherwise others might join you complaining about their own geographic share too 🙂
I thought for a moment that was going to be Alter Bridge ‘Burn It Down’ in the intro. Paul, SICK pedal! Could I rock up to band practice with just the Tonex One into a PA?
Very cool. Amazing they fit so much in so small a footprint, and a reasonable price. It's almost too clever though - I wonder how many iterations the design went through, and what a standard size pedal format would have looked like. It seems like they could have worked out a little less fiddling about with changing modes to make the knobs do different things, and having to remember what color/pattern of light means what.
Midi is a need and ios/android not Mac and PC as Boss have learnt. It now competes with Mooer Prime P1 and Nux Mighty plug, but v2 may be where it needs to be meanwhile I have added to my collection, to see how it works with Katanas and my Vox and Laney amps for live use. Studio use I use an Axe Fx III which there is little to no competition for studio. 😃😃
I'm considering fitting this lovely little thing into the body of my guitar and putting the stomp switch in a covenant place where I can stomp it on my hip, any excuse to get the solder iron out. Wish me Luck:)
Would this work for someone like me, who plays electric guitar fleetingly, and unplugged, but thinks about the whole subject for at least a couple of hours of every day?
Woudl be great if it had 5 switches, a wah pedal and MIDI in out! Oh wait, there's already stuff like that everywhere. I really like this small format :D
Yes, was thinking that. Definitely happy they have the Dumble in their stock 20. And even more happy they have the Orange Rockerverb in their. That's two tones I would want, but will probably never own the amps. But yeah, was also thinking some Sunn & Matamp models. Also more very small lo-fi character combos. Tweed Champs, Vibro-champs, Vox AC4s and all the other funky small low watt, small box, small speaker amps.
OK: great gizmo, but the iPad version is the smallest I will go to for Tonex. Push 6 sec on the switch, x-options and colours for the mini blinking buttons, no display means headache to me... As good as it might sound, it's just too small for packing so many options. Yes, you can dial everything on your pad/computer and load it in the pedal, but still I am curious to see a review after several months of use. Cheers guys
So what's The perfect little companion for this... That has quality ambience effects...(Affordable, quality Delays and reverbs... Maybe some other effects... No amp sim garbage or a gazillion so so effects). So you'd run your guitar through run through your favorite pedals... To the The tonex one.... Into.......What?.... What goes here? (Should not cost more than the tonex one!) recommendations?
I had the full size version and it was option paralysis. In the program I can deal- everything is all spread out, there. The interface on the full pedal by itself, though, doesn’t let you see much. I love the ecosystem but I’m really loving this smaller form factor. It’s stripped down to basics on hand when using the pedal by itself.
@@mikedfurman It's the better product, it has more features such as more outputs & inputs. You have an actual screen & full sized controls rather than relaying on holding down buttons & moving tiny controls & of course it comes with the full suite of software. I would also argue about longevity of the small mini pedal format for this, cramming so much into a small unit - overheating of the chip inside. The large sized pedal is only about $150 more & you get far more than $150 worth - the software alone is worth that.
It's pretty much two Captures/Tones controlled by one footswitch in a live situation...which means most gigging guitarists will buy one then two then three.
so isn't the litte hardware box not really necessary (aside from live use of course) ? All the sound creation is done in the stand alone Tone X software, which you can download and try out, without having the little box, if I have this right?
Because I'm down here in the colonies, it was sleep time when ToneX ONE officially became a thing. The first that I heard of it was when I rolled out of bed this morning for your livestream show. Now that I've actually seen it, I think I'll definitely be getting one.
If there’s no compromise in sound on this smaller unit then it’s an auto buy since tonex has some of the best sounds Ive tried. Specially Joe’s Dumble.
Sound really good on TH-cam but unfortunately, never the same story at home (with Tone X iOS): what is the secret ? Configuration ? I send the signal from my Steinberg UR22 soundcard to my Yamaha HS7 monitoring speaker with the emulated cab of the tone model : what is the chain of tour signal for TH-cam please ?
Well, this sure is interesting! What about aux in and headphones out? :) ... It's a fly rig! It's not primarily made into a thing that has a lot of connectivity, a thing that you can use for practice and your studio such as the Boss IR-200. But it can be used for recording and gigging, no problem! I was just about to say "so, use two for stereo", but nope. It's already stereo! Although... One could use two Tonex One pedals for a mock wet/dry rig (for recording at least), or to have two different amps in parallel. Or am I wrong about that?
Of course, I didn't buy the ToneX ONE at all. I bought the original larger pedal. I'm thinking that it will be so much fun controlling it via MIDI from the ES-8 that I'll probably end up getting a second one for a stereo rig, even though I'm yet to lay my hands on the first one.
Larger pedal has midi & is the better value. This pedal is just to suck up ppl who only want to get into Tonelab eco system & if they like it they would probably want the larger pedal anyway. You wil pr0baly see this mini pedal on the used market soon when ppl realise that they are not that usable unless live unless you are sticking to one sound wit hit. Having to scroll through amps & cabs using a tiny control & not know what amp & cab it is is pretty bad really.
I understand the excitement. But does it really do exactly the same as the bigger ToneX pedal? As examples, does it do stereo output, is it midi and does it come with ToneX Max software? These maybe reasons someone might think the bigger pedal is actually better value.
The Tone X software included is only a lite version, the Tone X larger pedal has the full software suite. If say the larger pedal was $400 more then yes this might be viable, but as it is only $150 more the larger pedal is the way to go if you wanted either of the 2. I suspect they will release an updated far better version of the larger pedal at an increased cost to justify wanting that pedal. Even so the larger pedal is the way to go, for only $150 more out get far more than $150 of features, software out of it.
It’s the bfg billy gibbons guitar. You can change the pick ups in and out from the back. No soldering. I think they’re cream pick ups. There’s a review on their channel.
First of all, no they didn’t. When you’re used to capturing devices the size of a kemper/ quad cortex and then you put one of them next to a mini pedal, you don’t consider that a game changer? Watch other companies come out with mini pedal capture play back pedals. Hence the term Game changer.
@@TheStudioRats Lighten up Francis. Either they did or didnt. Im one of those rare humans that has pattern recognition. I see a pattern of the word "game changer". Yes, I own a Tonex One.
When I see these videos when one guy is playing and the other adjusting, also That Pedal Show BTW, it just reminds me of two dudes pulling a train and one of them fixes the girl's hair for him... hahahahahaha
With all of these small amp modelers and profilers coming on the market the traditional amp companies are only going to be selling dummy amp heads and cabs
Hi, would this be of any use to me? I have no knowledge of capturing or anything like that, i just want something straight forward that sounds good going direct to PA and I can cycle through 3 different sounds without much set up. Can it be used straight out of the box?
Well it is kind of silly to think that just one micro pedal can hold all the original gear and give you the sound that each one of those highly expensive heads holds....In order to believe what it does do one needs to know what the pedal does, I have not read up to it, BUT it is probably and IR of the amp, which means that you mostly get a EQ out of the models, with obviously some gain tweaks, but not not much. I would say for the money and convenience it can be a time saver, one will play his or hers guitar and the room or space they are in will have an particular sound, you might benefit from one of those IR models, the guitar sit better in the mix when the whole band is performing etc etc, similarly for recording music, i would not go and layer all kinds of models on top of eachother, BUT a great mid based model can do wonders on a guitar track that needs more mid without compressing the living shit out of it, just snug it underneath and you're Eric bloody valentine!!!!
Those 2 different amp models sound pretty much the same..... I know there's more scope for difference but this demo can easily be achieved with a boost or drive pedal that's already on the board. Not seeing a game changer here, just a real estate shift at the expense of functionality.
I have the Boss Katana Go. They are not the same. The Katana go is a modeller with built in boss modulation effects (ie delay, chorus, flanger etc). The Tonex One is a profiler, it does not come with delay, Chorus etc. Also, the Katana Go plugs directly into your guitar, while the Tonex One is a stomp box. Both can be connected to Mac/PC and can be used as a audio interface. Tonex One uses IK Multimedia software to load, edit. The Katana Go uses iphone/Android app to edit via Bluetooth. Which is better? That depends on your needs.
Its a nice product but... If you cant hear difference between this and a full real stack of whatever you df want, you my dear, you re half def or just not on your right hobby
@@frankstetka7206 The larger Tone X pedal is already pretty small so to make this into a mini pedal really is for very niche circumstances like if you had a pedal board & just needed to put this on there & the larger pedal was just too large. It may well have a use, but "game changer" it is not.
The only thing going for this over the larger pedal is form factor (which I think is an actual hindrance) & price. However that price isn't such a great deal when the product whilst in theory is the same actually isn't. It is too small for live use & you can tell they say "just stick in a gig bag just in case your amp dies". Whilst you could use it live the knobs on it are too small to be usable without good light so really you would be restricted to just using it as is. If you were to only use 1 amp then sure - not that ppl would be switching amps for a live gig but they certaily could on the larger unit easily. This relies on sub menus but using tiny controls & holding down buttons. Plus of course doesn't come with the full software suit.
I don't understand my tonex1 sounds fizzy and digitech 90s vibes! Shrill high tones...🤷 compared to the dream65 it is very underwhelming.....and rather dissapointing.
Lads, you should have been more clear right at the beginning that is video a commercial presentation/sponsored content. It feels like a review at the beginning but when I got to the end it's clearly not, it's a sales pitch. I didn't realize till the end that you were selling your own model packs too, which suddenly made me less trust worthy of everything I had just watched. And the "every guitar player in the world will own one of these" line? Your credibility suffered as a result. You may already agree with me that guitar TH-cam has a problem that practically every review is positive all the time, which means nothing can be really trusted. And a ton of videos across different channels of the same gear all coming out on the same day just screams "marketing embargo", i.e. this is advertising on behalf of the manufacturer. More transparency is the way to fix it. Classic print journalism (which we on TH-cam have now replaced) has long debated the editorial/advertorial problem and we need to learn from their experience. Please be more transparent, right upfront, in the future.
@@dww0902killed that man with a single sentence 😂 They are official partners with Tonex too lol. I mean people just need to be smart consumers and not expect people to hold their hand 3
So absurd. You’re an adult. Do you watch Anderton’s videos? What’s the difference? There’s no difference between demonstrating a pedal and recommending it for sale? No one is forcing you to buy it, and the demo wasn’t fake.
Only the 374th time ive seen this pedal today. I dont blame you guys for taking a companies money and product, but I wish some of the guitartubers would say NO to something.
"full tonex pedal in a tiny package not even a scaled down version" The product page comparison with the full pedal shows this is very much a scaled down version.
Not arguing. But it takes standard tonex captures and the software allows capture too. Obviously it doesn't even have enough knobs to be even controllable like the full version, and it lacks effects.
Cmon lads there’s no presence control!? I’d be lining up for one if it had presence. Presence is the most important control in a live PA situation imo. I guarantee the mkii when they get around to it, will have presence control
They think the price & the size is a "game changer". Sure you could leave this in a gig bag & use it if needed. You could also use it all the time whether live or in the studio. But as the larger pedal has more features, has an actual screen so you know what is happening & is more robust, has more inputs & outputs & has the full suit of software included then really this is not a "game changer" at all.
This thing sounds great considering the size and price! Probably a waste of time to mention this but I really wish people would just stop with the whining in gear video comments.

I don't think Rick has ever responded to a viewer comment, but good luck.
@@protoolsfanatic7276 hahahahahahah
I need these sounds! incredible!
Of course, I didn't buy the ToneX ONE at all. I bought the original larger pedal. I'm thinking that it will be so much fun controlling it via MIDI from the ES-8 that I'll probably end up getting a second one for a stereo rig, even though I'm yet to lay my hands on the first one.
Massive game changer tbh
Super cool! If it were only MIDI.
Larger pedal has midi & is the better value. This pedal is just to suck up ppl who only want to get into Tonelab eco system & if they like it they would probably want the larger pedal anyway. You wil pr0baly see this mini pedal on the used market soon when ppl realise that they are not that usable unless live unless you are sticking to one sound wit hit. Having to scroll through amps & cabs using a tiny control & not know what amp & cab it is is pretty bad really.
I understand the excitement. But does it really do exactly the same as the bigger ToneX pedal? As examples, does it do stereo output, is it midi and does it come with ToneX Max software? These maybe reasons someone might think the bigger pedal is actually better value.
The Tone X software included is only a lite version, the Tone X larger pedal has the full software suite. If say the larger pedal was $400 more then yes this might be viable, but as it is only $150 more the larger pedal is the way to go if you wanted either of the 2. I suspect they will release an updated far better version of the larger pedal at an increased cost to justify wanting that pedal. Even so the larger pedal is the way to go, for only $150 more out get far more than $150 of features, software out of it.
Interesting ... "Every guitar player on earth" is a bit of a stretch, but wonder how this compares to the Fender Tone app ?
The fender tone app doesn’t use captures
Great video!
I already bought the Boss IR-2 which I love. This seems legit though, great demo guys!
Can you use this like a Katana go stright into headphones?
Yes. The stereo output will also drive your headphones.
Word on the street is that the stereo out can be used with headphones.
ik multimedia said hold my beer and shot glasses.
Anyone know what guitar he is playing?
It’s the bfg billy gibbons guitar. You can change the pick ups in and out from the back. No soldering. I think they’re cream pick ups. There’s a review on their channel.
Yeyy I can finally get rid of my Pandora mk1!!😂😂
I am convinced the IK told every YT shill, to use the "game changer" word in the talking points.
First of all, no they didn’t. When you’re used to capturing devices the size of a kemper/ quad cortex and then you put one of them next to a mini pedal, you don’t consider that a game changer? Watch other companies come out with mini pedal capture play back pedals. Hence the term Game changer.
@@TheStudioRats Lighten up Francis. Either they did or didnt. Im one of those rare humans that has pattern recognition. I see a pattern of the word "game changer". Yes, I own a Tonex One.
But what's it like with pedals?
When I see these videos when one guy is playing and the other adjusting, also That Pedal Show BTW, it just reminds me of two dudes pulling a train and one of them fixes the girl's hair for him... hahahahahaha
With all of these small amp modelers and profilers coming on the market the traditional amp companies are only going to be selling dummy amp heads and cabs
Amazing tone of this guitar.. what kind of P90 on the neck? SD?
Great review Folks
We're getting spoiled lately. Line 6 express, Katana Go, now this.
Hi, would this be of any use to me? I have no knowledge of capturing or anything like that, i just want something straight forward that sounds good going direct to PA and I can cycle through 3 different sounds without much set up. Can it be used straight out of the box?
Not without the SW, without the SW it's a door stop....
Unfortunately, you can't control presets via midi (program changes), so it doesn't work for me, I'll stick with the toneX pedal for now.
Looks loke a new cam is in the studio?
No, just 3 cameras that are all the same make and model.
Is it hand wired? 😁
Well it is kind of silly to think that just one micro pedal can hold all the original gear and give you the sound that each one of those highly expensive heads holds....In order to believe what it does do one needs to know what the pedal does, I have not read up to it, BUT it is probably and IR of the amp, which means that you mostly get a EQ out of the models, with obviously some gain tweaks, but not not much. I would say for the money and convenience it can be a time saver, one will play his or hers guitar and the room or space they are in will have an particular sound, you might benefit from one of those IR models, the guitar sit better in the mix when the whole band is performing etc etc, similarly for recording music, i would not go and layer all kinds of models on top of eachother, BUT a great mid based model can do wonders on a guitar track that needs more mid without compressing the living shit out of it, just snug it underneath and you're Eric bloody valentine!!!!
Have you tried using two together?
I haven’t yet.
Those 2 different amp models sound pretty much the same.....
I know there's more scope for difference but this demo can easily be achieved with a boost or drive pedal that's already on the board.
Not seeing a game changer here, just a real estate shift at the expense of functionality.
What price in Euro? Cant find it online!! :o
199€
Which is better, this or the Boss Katana Go?
I have the Boss Katana Go. They are not the same. The Katana go is a modeller with built in boss modulation effects (ie delay, chorus, flanger etc).
The Tonex One is a profiler, it does not come with delay, Chorus etc.
Also, the Katana Go plugs directly into your guitar, while the Tonex One is a stomp box.
Both can be connected to Mac/PC and can be used as a audio interface.
Tonex One uses IK Multimedia software to load, edit. The Katana Go uses iphone/Android app to edit via Bluetooth.
Which is better? That depends on your needs.
@@michaelbusuttil363 Ok thank you. I think the Katana Go is more what I am looking for. 👍
@lostinpa-dadenduro7555 The Katana Go sounds great 👍
It's mainly advertised as a personal practice amp but it's much more than that.
No iPad or iPhone support?
So now we can finally see if you are all over the Friedman IR-D Dirty shirley
May I suggest you look my review on the Friedman IR-x then you’ll see why I’m not included in the release team.
@@TheStudioRats I've seen that video in the past, in my recollection you found it to be a bit underwhelming.
Something in the high end doesn’t sound right. Consistent across all the demos from other channels.
Its a nice product but... If you cant hear difference between this and a full real stack of whatever you df want, you my dear, you re half def or just not on your right hobby
It’s the Napster of amps.. hahahahha
As it is a game changer must I get rid of my Tonex pedal and get this one instead?
No, the larger pedal is superior unless you are trying to travel light.
@@frankstetka7206 The larger Tone X pedal is already pretty small so to make this into a mini pedal really is for very niche circumstances like if you had a pedal board & just needed to put this on there & the larger pedal was just too large. It may well have a use, but "game changer" it is not.
🔥
Could not get my pedal to connect to my pc as I don't have a degree at NASA
Why this small, a standard pedal size would be be better with a little display and midi, could also be battery powered…
1:37 except for MIDI control 😟
There's a lot of hype going on. but really?? the full large pedal in a mini pedal?? No clearly not.
The only thing going for this over the larger pedal is form factor (which I think is an actual hindrance) & price. However that price isn't such a great deal when the product whilst in theory is the same actually isn't. It is too small for live use & you can tell they say "just stick in a gig bag just in case your amp dies". Whilst you could use it live the knobs on it are too small to be usable without good light so really you would be restricted to just using it as is. If you were to only use 1 amp then sure - not that ppl would be switching amps for a live gig but they certaily could on the larger unit easily. This relies on sub menus but using tiny controls & holding down buttons. Plus of course doesn't come with the full software suit.
Sweet another cheap convenient way to waste an enormous amount of time !
Anyone who can't recognize that we are truly in a golden era of gear is either uninformed or, far worse, willfully in denial.
I already have original TONEX I don’t use - I use QC and kemper. I found the original a bit boxy.
They should have included the small midi in and outs. Then it would be a real game changer
I don't understand my tonex1 sounds fizzy and digitech 90s vibes! Shrill high tones...🤷 compared to the dream65 it is very underwhelming.....and rather dissapointing.
Paul couldn't look more bored.
Lads, you should have been more clear right at the beginning that is video a commercial presentation/sponsored content. It feels like a review at the beginning but when I got to the end it's clearly not, it's a sales pitch. I didn't realize till the end that you were selling your own model packs too, which suddenly made me less trust worthy of everything I had just watched. And the "every guitar player in the world will own one of these" line? Your credibility suffered as a result. You may already agree with me that guitar TH-cam has a problem that practically every review is positive all the time, which means nothing can be really trusted. And a ton of videos across different channels of the same gear all coming out on the same day just screams "marketing embargo", i.e. this is advertising on behalf of the manufacturer. More transparency is the way to fix it. Classic print journalism (which we on TH-cam have now replaced) has long debated the editorial/advertorial problem and we need to learn from their experience. Please be more transparent, right upfront, in the future.
The video says "Includes Paid Promotion" when you click on it.
@@dww0902killed that man with a single sentence 😂
They are official partners with Tonex too lol. I mean people just need to be smart consumers and not expect people to hold their hand 3
So absurd. You’re an adult.
Do you watch Anderton’s videos?
What’s the difference? There’s no difference between demonstrating a pedal and recommending it for sale?
No one is forcing you to buy it, and the demo wasn’t fake.
@@dww0902 If I didn't see it, a lot of people didn't too.
@@peacefulruler1 I didn't say it was fake. I'm saying more transparency is good thing and it's needed across the TH-cam guitar channels.
All these things are described as 'game changer' 😂. Its all hype kids!
Only the 374th time ive seen this pedal today. I dont blame you guys for taking a companies money and product, but I wish some of the guitartubers would say NO to something.
We do say no. Think about it: how would you know if a TH-camr said no to something?
Did they just not have a whole discussion at the top of this page?
"full tonex pedal in a tiny package not even a scaled down version"
The product page comparison with the full pedal shows this is very much a scaled down version.
Not arguing. But it takes standard tonex captures and the software allows capture too. Obviously it doesn't even have enough knobs to be even controllable like the full version, and it lacks effects.
"Gainchanger"
Finally a reasonable pun !
Cmon lads there’s no presence control!? I’d be lining up for one if it had presence. Presence is the most important control in a live PA situation imo. I guarantee the mkii when they get around to it, will have presence control
Good point.
no it does not change any game. funny how "game changer" is in every youtube video that features this device.
They think the price & the size is a "game changer". Sure you could leave this in a gig bag & use it if needed. You could also use it all the time whether live or in the studio. But as the larger pedal has more features, has an actual screen so you know what is happening & is more robust, has more inputs & outputs & has the full suit of software included then really this is not a "game changer" at all.
