I have the full sized Tonex and waiting for that update. I cannot wait! I mean I used pedals with it already. WE SHALL SEE! I'm already thinking about getting a 2nd one for my other uses. I can say already, TONEX is killing it and the captures have gotten so much better since a few months ago when I purchased it. I nearly cannot tell if I'm playing an amplifier or not. It's just so close.
Honestly, all of these are absolutely amazing options. You can't go wrong with any of them (coming from a guy who's been playing guitar for 35+ years). I think it just comes down to what has the best end-user experience. I.e., what's the most fun and least frustrating to mess around with. Because you'll end up with killer tones with all of these. To me, Tonex isn't it, but for someone else it very well could be. I just really find IK's approach to everything from software installation to licensing to maintenance outdated and cumbersome. Bottom line, these are all a means to an end - to PLAY GUITAR and sound as good as we can... And that's limited by our skill, not our gear. Have fun y'all!
Yes, they set an expectation that updates for their products are free much like the rest of the industry. The model has been to charge a high initial price for the hardware but then provide long lasting continued support and updates for quite some time. People would be just as upset if line 6 did the same with the Helix range.
Cheers brother 👍 thanks for the video 📹. I own the og big Tonex 😎 and share the excitement 😀 Super duper cool @IkMultimedia 😎 🎉 Glad you're tuned into the market and the legend continues....
IK for the win!! I’ve had a Kemper and I liked it. Then traded it for a QC. It was ok. I never really bonded with it. Then I bought a ToneX and loved it! It does everything I want it to do. The addition of the modulations is a big plus. I like my own delays and reverbs. But I’m a lot less opinionated in modulations so that’s a fantastic bonus.
I had a ToneX a year ago. But i brought it back to the store. Today i bought one again. Why? Because now it comes with a pack of effects in the box in november. I like that! I have a Kemper player. I don't want to upgrade for $300! Instead i bought the ToneX again for just $75 more.
Now that’s a statement! You’d rather buy the Tonex again rather than pay the upgrade for the kemper player, that’s something we can totally get behind!
The effect update has me super intrigued about the Tonex now. I saved up oney for a Hotone Ampero 2 but the AD/DA latency was dogshit so I returned the damned thing. The Tonex has very low latency and with more effects, at the price its going for, seems unbeatable.
You won’t regret getting the ToneX it’s so good. I’ve sold my Amps and it’s the only thing I use now. I go from the pedal straight to the PA and it’s the best investment I’ve made. Even in the studio it’s hands done the best decision I’ve made. Go for it!
Oh shit, wow. My main issue with the Tonex pedal was that it didn't have effects, and I couldn't justify the price when the HX Stomp was like, right there, with amps AND effects. Wow wow wow. Makes me kinda regret this Mustang GTX 100 I just got.
Hi sir, can you make a video about the output from tonex pedal. Like from tonex mono out to amp or return or how to hook it up. all those options. cause I dont see any videos regarding on that matter.
If you mean effects loop. It doesn’t have one. But you think of it like an amp. So I put my effects after the ToneX pedal into the PA. If you’re using an amp with the ToneX pedal turn off the cab in settings. With the FX coming I will no longer be needing those pedals… my buddy got to try the beta version and said the effects are phenomenal and I won’t need any of my Boss effects once it drops. I’m pumped about that.
@@mynameismudd1518 oh thank you for this. Sorry Im new to this game lol. I already use it on live so if I will use the house or mixer or any direct speakers I will use the right output which is the stereo or still use the Left output which is the mono? Again thank you for the reply sir.
After a lot of hesitation i pulled the trigger on the tone x one. Damn man iam no fan of modeling and to much pc on guitar but this thing is so damn cool man!
@@PBOD i have for two weeks now. The library is just damn massive and even for highgain is so much different stuff there. Now there are effects nothing left to wish for😅 i play that thing on a daily basis into a sd powerstage hokked up to a 2x12 🫶
Looking forward to the update to see if it changes my mind, but I never got on with my Tonex pedal. Cannot do much on the app to control the pedal parameters (the software models never sound so good). And I swear it never feels as good as my other units (QC and Kemper) - the initial note attack never feels realistic, nor do multi string bends (country style).
I have the ToneX pedal and I’ve loved it since getting it day one. I told all my friends that it would have to be capable of updates. That we could possibly see a tuner added in the future. When the tuner was added I was like. Oh my god. They’re gonna do effects next. I was told it wasn’t gonna happen. Well well well. What do we have here? To say im excited would be an understatement! I am so pumped! And cannot wait. I’ll be ready to update that bad boy as soon as it drops. If I’m working that day. I may come down with a cold or something. Purely by coincidence 😆😆 #ikmedia is killing it!
So...the Tonex can do captures with no extra devices? My Nano Cortex can do that. I'm sure the Tonex is a great product but I dont think it should be compared to Nano Cortex. Nano Cortex fills a specific need and Tonex is trying to do everything but failing at the capture thing without extra hardware.
Did you watch the full video Johnny? We did say that the update doesn’t bring the Tonex up to full feature parity with the nano and specifically noted that you can’t do captures on the Tonex directly. We’ll have to agree to disagree that they shouldn’t be compared, they are both designed to play back captures with some limited effects built in. The Tonex can’t capture directly no, but it’s also significantly cheaper and comes with a lot of preloaded models and captures.
I appreciate the new update but you have to pay for the FXs. I was a little disappointed to see that. I have my Tonex One in the FX Loop of my HX Stomp and can run all my FXs through that.
@@PBOD weird I’ll have to check again. Last time I used it, it shows the different pedals like delay, but they were greyed out and said I have to purchase. Maybe it was a bug or something.
Something is not right there, you absolutely do not have to pay additional fees unless you are trying to purchase an amp pack uploaded by other creators.
Answer is yes. I'm seriously considering getting one.
You won’t regret it!
I'm very excited 👍 IK are playing a really good game here
That they are my dude

They are doing some great work over there at IK multimedia!
I already have a Tonex One and love it. The upcoming update is icing on the cake.
Great to see IK continuing to support it!

It’s good that there’s options for all budgets and those options are all great.
I've had the tonex from the beginning and this is great news, also the new effects seem very high in quality from what I can tell.
Everyone absolutely everyone forgets that Kemper gave FREE updates for 10+ years. I’m gonna go practice on one of my Kemper amps now. Blessings to you

Hmm, I already have the X-Drive and X-Space and have been reluctant to get this one. I think I just found my Christmas wish pedal.
It’s utterly unbelievable, especially the Tonex One in such a tiny package

It’s so well priced, I wonder how they make any $$ on it

Just got my tone x today based on this update. First impressions very good 👍
It’s a really great unit!
I just picked up the anniversary edition, it’s not here yet, I intend to make an acoustic rig with it , I have the tonex1 and am sold on the models
Nice!
I just bought a tonex pedal on sale in large part because of the free update they announced
You made a fine choice sir!
Oh shit, wow. My main issue with the Tonex pedal was that it didn't have effects, and I couldn't justify the price when the HX Stomp was like, right there, with amps AND effects. Wow wow wow. Makes me kinda regret this Mustang GTX 100 I just got.
HX stomp has had a significant price rise this year too so the tonex is quite a bit cheaper now.

Thats right!
🤜🤛
You are ok with any equipment, don't worry. Go practice...
True

They really have made a great value proposition device with the tonex range. Hard to beat!
Nice amp choice 😎
Thanks, it’s a recent purchase 😁, I have the matching vertical 2x12 that lives upstairs 😂.

Have to correct you I’m afraid, the update we are talking about here includes the 8 effects mentioned and the update is confirmed as free.
@@PBOD weird I’ll have to check again. Last time I used it, it shows the different pedals like delay, but they were greyed out and said I have to purchase. Maybe it was a bug or something.
@@PBOD I just checked, I was on the Amplitude app. My bad lol. Is the Tonex update not out yet? I'm on version 1.7.5 of Tonex SE.
@@PBOD Hey sorry for the late reply. I apologize, I realized I was on Amplitude rather than the Tonex app lol.
The free ToneX update still doesn't lift it to the level of a stock Kemper Player features.
You are right, you can't make profiles with the player 😜
But it also doesn’t cost anywhere near as much.
@PBOD you are correct but if you have to buy 1-2 additional pedals to add to tonex pedal you will meet or exceed the cost of Kemper player.
Does though, doesn’t it.
@@Sticky_Tea Neither with the ToneX Pedal ;-)
I got one. And I noticed I wasn't done spending money on it. I had to buy my tones and the app. I was told it was free.
Something is not right there, you absolutely do not have to pay additional fees unless you are trying to purchase an amp pack uploaded by other creators.
I'm getting the Tonex one soon. It's the best thing going right now. Amazing technology for pennies.
You won’t regret it!
