Let's not forget how great of a practice tool that is! For a full-blown gig, it's limited, but man at this size, with the possibility of using headphones, with real captures, this is fantastic, go on your bed and practice without annoying anyone, great!
Thanks for the honest review. I just picked up one of these and man is it cool. It my first modeler. The main reason I went w/ this over sometlike the Quad Cortex was because of the price. Sure it may not be as accurate as the quad but it’s a heck of a lot less expensive and I didn’t need all of the extra effects from the quad. 🤘
Duuude, great job, this was THE best ToneX One review on the internet., in just 7:11 minutes you've showed us exactly what we can do with this pedal. Can't wait for the test of this pedal paired with a solid state power amp, as you've said @ 5:50 ish...
@@JohnDeWeese-lq4pf Neah, you go and watch that one, me I've seen enough TonexOne reviews and this one and ok, EytschPi42's too, are the best. And I'm gonna subscribe to this channel, the other one is not bad, I just don't care about news and reacting and all that utube BS. But this channel it's just gold.
I bought both, the Tonex Pedal last year, and this a few days ago after your reviews. They suit my needs perfectly!! Thanks for another great video and use case for it
2:16 amp only 2:45 tonex one as OD into amp front 4:00 tonex one as OD and preamp into amp fx return In my opinion using tonex one as preamp (without cab IR) into amp fx loop sounded worse than real amp (obviously), it has lost one dimension in dynamics. However its pros are already discussed in other yt videos, so this is a nice tool. Instead buying some high end amps, get their captures without cab and have fun with whatever you have by pluging this in your amp fx loop, or some power amp. Thank you Ola for valuable sound example!
Why do you think it sounds worse? Different yes but I read everywhere the captures are better than Kemper's? Ì would like to use my own captures and use a Fryette ps-2 on a 412 cab. Which saves my back and still get a great sound is my guess?
@@vanespedals1023 I mean that it will sound worse than real world amp, thechnology is not yet here to be 99.99% sound accurate. Still a great tool and I plan to get one.
@@vanespedals1023 ummm, no. I'm a dyed in the wool analog preamp into a tube power guy. The ToneX changed all that. The little ToneX One is tweakable with a laptop. I'll bet within minutes you could dial in the tone with the software where it'd be very close/identical to the amp
Thanks for this. I've been waiting for someone to run the tonex into an amp's loop. I've got a JVM410 and I'd love to be able to use the full tonex pedal that way, sort of having the best of both worlds being able to run a full analog rig plus have amp modelling.
Your first video was very good and sounded very sincere and made me buy it ! I still haven't received it , but this video confirms it was a good decision !!
I just got this pedal based on your vid Ola. Although I know you can make anything sound good. I've been using the FM3 so I planned on fiddling with it last night but got playing with my usual rig and couldn't be bothered. I plan on trying it with my PA50 at some point.
Ola got heavy into guitar because your videos, do you recommendations the EVH 5150 iconic and iconic cabinet or suggest a diffrrnt rig for that price range. Thank a lot man
Man I really need to learn how to use this Tonex, everyone is getting really great tones, but I never managed to make it works! This solar is really cool too!
@@anthonyhoffman6052 ToneX is not crap with high gain. You just need good captures. Try MattFig's premium captures. If you want to have your mind blown, try his Sunn Model T Ch2 HG 412 capture. It sounds absolutely massive.
i want to play my guitar connected to my audio interface and use my TONEX software (not the pedal & without Cab Sim) and send it & play it trough my tube amp and cab. Can you help me? note my Amp has an FX Loop Send & Return...Also do i need a Reamp Box or Just a DI Box? i own the Tight Metal Pro II high gain preamp pedal which i can bypass to just have a clean signal from it...wondering if i can use this pedal to save money from buying reamp boxes or DI boxes...Thank You!
So I can set this up to have a heavy gain tone, and then switch, to a clean tone, that say has delay on it or something? To switch on the fly. For one take guitar covers etc. Like I use Neural DSP Petrucci for my tones etc. But I Don't want to get into the complexity of midi pedals and controlling all that shit thru that. Would this pedal, and the ToneFX tones and app suite do the trick and I can put a heavy tone on one preset, and the stomp over to a clean tone etc?
You can have two scenes you switch between, each with an amp ir and boost. you can also set it to a single pedal on and off, but time based effects are not yet available.
@@ThePhantomnaut Just like that? because i have Tight Metal Pro II preamp pedal which comes with it's own FX Loops (you can google it) and thought: well i think for a pedal to run as preamp in the FX Loop Return of Amp, may need it's own FX Loop to run Delays and Reverbs...well, that's what i thought initially but never realize it was as simple as running them after the preamp.
I took a look at Amptweaker’s pedal and if you are using the ToneX One as the dedicated preamp followed by the delay and reverb, you can use the effects loop of Tight Metal Pro. You can also just put the ToneX One before the TMP’s input and make sure that pedal is as clean as possible to make use of the One’s amps. It really depends on what you are really looking for. My experience with preamp pedals without an effects loop is preamp to delay/reverb to my power amp. Very likely not gonna change when I get my One unit.
@@ThePhantomnaut i want to play my guitar connected to my Audio Interface and use my TONEX software (without Cab Sim) and send it & play it trough my Tube Amp and Cab. Can you help me? note my Amp has an FX Loop Send & Return...Also do i need a Reamp Box or Just a DI Box? i own the TMP Preamp high gain pedal which i can bypass to just have a Clean Signal from it...wondering if i can use this Pedal to save money from buying Reamp Boxes or DI Boxes...Thank You!
I haven't experienced doing that but I would guess make sure you have a spare out for your interface, configure one of the outputs in ToneX to that spare out, and connect that to the effects return of the amp. Hopefully the line level signal output doesn't affect anything negatively. As for the other concern, it depends on what you need. If you want to record a pure clean signal as well as the ToneX One, a DI box would be nice since you can use the parallel output of the DI box to go to your pedal chain. You can probably cheat with an A/B box too.
Hello Ola, I am stupid about PA and FOH stuff. So this question: when I connect the output of the TONEX to my shitty speaker or any PA, do I need a DI? I can hear the potential of the sounds of the TONEX but it lacks top end (and sounds a bit muffled) when I connect it directly with the Jack to my shitty speaker. Low end is ok, but a bit muddy. Didn't try it directly on a PA yet, but for coming practice I wanna be prepared! Hope you can answer (or any viewer reading this). Thanks!!
@@JayBruceWorld I fixed it. Sounds much tighter and clearer through a DI directly into PA Speaker. Because I plugged in directly, I am using it with IR active.
genuine question: will I be bound to have a subscription or to pay any sort of fee after buying a tonex ? it is not clear to me if I can use it with my IRs and ignore whatever they sell as a service...
No, you CAN download more software but it's not at all necessary as you get millions of tone captures online with the free software it comes with including amp captures of THE things you could buy
have mine pre ordered. come on sweetwater, ship it out! also i wish you would re do a video on the pod express, because that little box is pure fucking magic , just please read the user manual first so you know how to adjust gain without engaging the overdrive (actually its really simple you just click the alt button which takes you out of overdrives/distortion and turns that knob into a gain controller, you can also learn how to control eq as well as swap out different cabs and amps inside of it , honestly its' insanely versatile and inspirational once you have a fair idea how to navigate and there is little to no menu diving despite my long ass explanation here. i think if you spent more time with it you'd be stunned just how great it sounds and what a wide array of tones it is capable of
Isn´t it totally nuts to use an amp modeler in front of a high-end damn expensive amp? Would be much more interesting how it sounds connected to just a cheap power amp and a lousy cabinet or a cheap combo
DAMN !!!! What an guitar... jäääävlar va najs... om du skulle ha´en brainfart og vill skicka en till mig så ska du va välkommen :D have a freaking awesome saturday
Ola please unplug your guitars when you hang them!!! I only suggest this as I have made this mistake. All it took was one wrong step and I had a busted guitar on the floor. Wouldn’t want to see that happen to my favorite TH-camr.
Looks nice, shame it's a mini pedal, I hate mini pedals, i despise mini pots, if there's one it's not a big problem, when 3/4 of the pots are it's terrible, it's a couple hundred grams pedal not a 15kg amp, there's no need for it to be mini, a standard mxr enclosure would have been wonderful... would have paid the extra...
Why are people comparing this to a modeler it is not a modeler it is a profiler. It is not competing with fractal. This is an actual digital snap shot. That is like comparing a photograph to a drawing. they can both represent the real thing but are still completely different.
To be fair, and maybe it's just me - I really don't give a crap about what guitar-tone gear is "supposed" to be called or exactly how they get it to sound awesome. I Just care that it sounds awesome, and I have to say, this little (and stupidly inexpensive) pedal sounds awesome.
is there any company which send me something i can try out for free too? XD damn..... i have to work 3 months without paying rents or eating to afford a Mesa xD
This is the only video I saw that someone put the darn thing straight thru the amp. I’ve been looking for this for a while now. Thank you 🙏

The camera movement makes me feel like I'm watching a first person video game cutscene
I’m really excited to try this pedal. It’ll be my first step into the tonex world.
I wish i could watch content like this all day! Thank you Ola, great episode!
I'm not a pedal guy at all, but you might have just sold me on this little guy. Once you put it in the effects loop...WOAH!
I wondered about this exact thing (how it sounds as a pre-amp into the effects return of a tube amp and cab) - so thank you for doing this, OIa!

Perfect. Def getting one. The fact that it comes with the license for the software though. Love it.
Can I use the ToneX just as a Cab Sim? The head of my amp, Line Out to ToneX cab sim to mixer/PA system? Wonder if that will sound good!?!?
Is the Dual Rec captured without the power amp?
I'm really missing something on how best to amp up full rig (minus IR) captures.

What a beautiful guitar 😍
run it with my Mooer Baby Bomb 30 amp pedal and now my rig fits in my guitar case. That's awesome. Too bad it doesn't have a noise gate.
Check it again brother, The bass knob's alternative function is in fact, a noise gate. :-[)
Technology improved so much in 2024 for us guitarists. Yeah man.
Man I really need to learn how to use this Tonex, everyone is getting really great tones, but I never managed to make it works! This solar is really cool too!
Tonex is crap with high gain and u will be forever dissatisfied with any tones u capture. if this really appeals to u then look at NAM.
@@anthonyhoffman6052 oh man, I just got a few captures, but didn't have enough time to try it out NAM is beautiful, one of the best plugins ever!

This is exactly 💯 what I was wondering. Thx for demo
I think the tone X sounds better than quad and Fractal amp wise tbhb
Maybe I missed it, but where can I get the tonex boosted triple rec pack you used during the preamp demonstration?

Does it lose the harmonic content of the original amp when disabling can IR?
So I can set this up to have a heavy gain tone, and then switch, to a clean tone, that say has delay on it or something? To switch on the fly. For one take guitar covers etc.

That’s basically dual mode on the pedal. I don’t think it supports the ToneX app on phones but at least you can configure on the desktop app.
You can have two scenes you switch between, each with an amp ir and boost. you can also set it to a single pedal on and off, but time based effects are not yet available.
Any possibility to get your fx loop Tonex preset?
Mono or stereocabel? I'm getting shitsound when i'm using monocabel to my Boss Katana Artist
Can I ask what power supply you used please.
Pleaseee someone explain me how can i do the same but from my Audio interface (not the pedal) and just the ToneX plugin????
Cab sim on or off when in the effects loop?
Off. It goes through the power amp to the real cab.
He literally says what he did...
Hey Ola, are you going to do the Mr. Scary mod for your Badlander?
Will it work with an amp like Line 6 Catalyst? Just connect it to the Return input of the amp?
Yep. And flip the switch right there to power amp. Probably want cab sim on the tonex off
Safe to say the embargo date a company gives you is also the embargo date for everyone else they provided the product to
got this thing today... _its sooo small_
Pleaseee someone please tell me how to use the ToneX One in the FX Return and Also be able to use my Delay and/or Reverb Pedals?
Yeah have those pedals after the ToneX.
