Great video thank you! I was starting to think there weren't any clean amp models on this thing until I captured my own and even that was distorted. At that point, I knew something was up and found your video.
At first I use the pickup of the hum bucker. I love a sound of the metal of the heavy amplifier very much. I changed for an always dirty sound to listen to the best sound when I made sounds by software when I put preset in TONEX pedal, and I thought, but the cause did not understand that it was strange at all so far. However, on investigation I arrived at your video deeply. It was caused by Level setting of TRIM. You should write it at such an important thing, the first beginning of the manual! Thank you for a splendid video. From Japan.
Just found this, subbed and liked! Pedal definitely has a learning curve and the manual is convoluted, making it difficult to even get started, let alone optimise it for peak performance. Thanks for posting this as I’m sure it will help other noobs like myself who are technically challenged!
You could set your global input trim to 0.00 leave your volume knob at 10 and just adjust the gain knob on the amp no matter what guitar your using. .You can then save the gain adjustment per preset . Global settings shouldn't be messed with once set properly.imo
yes, I agree. I would not use "Trim In" to "suit" my guitar, because every type of pickups are different and I want them to be different and react like a real amp.
Very helpful. I did notice something last night re the trim and levels. It seems the trim, preset volume, gain and master volume all work off of each other when adjusting input gain. I say this because, after getting my trim set, i adjusted the master and patch volumes and started clipping again. This confuses me a bit because that master volume is supposed to control the overall pedal output. If thats the case, then the clip meter really addresses the whole pedal and not just the guitar input. Overall fantastic tone and feel. Changing guitars is tricky though. IK should make input trim based on preset and not global.
Thanks for sharing. My ToneX was on 8.5 and with my humbuckers sounds nicer at 0. I think IK M fixed this after the 1.0.5 firmware upgrade so everyone who purchased a unit before April '23 should check this setting
That you for making this vid. I've been wondering why my "clean" tones sound more like "edge of breakup" tones. It would only give me a clean sound if I played gently or turned the volume down.
I just got one of these, and the first guitar I plugged in was a 7 string loaded with Seymour Duncan Mick Thompson Blackouts and I was wondering why it was sounding a bit crap. +8 and those pickups just doesn't work for anything. Thank you for the video!
I use Tonex plugin version, and I have hot pickups, and I set the input gain as +15, that way it sounds the best for some reason, it sounds like real amp, and with more sustain, what do I do wrong?
How are you doing? All good? :) I bought Tonex One and I'm not able to configure the pedal's global equalization to make a "Low Cut - High Cut" in the Frequency Range. To limit the speaker frequencies.. Could you help me? thanks 🤠
Unless I'm misunderstanding, this is only a global setting, correct? To that end, how can you set up the pedal to accommodate different guitars/pickups? It would be great to be able to do this per preset, so that you can have guitar/pickup specific presets when using live.
@@masters-of-music7602 To be clear, if I switch guitars during a live gig, I’d have to reach down and adjust the trim level to match that guitar? And then do it again when switching back? That seems highly impractical for live use.
Hey! I use a product called The Fixer from Brown Amplification. Super useful and it makes switching from my Jazzmaster to an ESP with active humbuckers an easy thing to switch.
Thanks! So you change the input trim every time you change your guitar? Can you have different input and output levels for each preset like on the hx stomp?
I'm confused.... I have a Stratocaster, and even with the trim at max i still got LOW so I added a pedal (fulltone ocd with drive and volume FULL ON: so loud!) and still get LOW. Is my unit faulty or do I misumderstand?
It funny how IKM did not address this trim adjustment very well in the User Manual ... or how to get to it: You did. Push in and hold the Model Knob? Push it in and release? Do you turn the knob when it's pushed in or when it's released? Important information for sure ... if you don't do it EXACTLY right, you don't get where you need to go. This applies to all uses of the Multi-function knobs in the manual and in their "instructional" videos. Don't leave this to the engineers. Please.
Thanks for the tip. Just got mine a few days ago and hadn't checked the trim setting. Just watched your video and out of the box it was set to 0.0db as default. Just wondering if they've changed it with some firmware update or something? Cool tip on the Dual for wet/dry recording of the same guitar track as well 👍
I thought I remembered it being set to 0.0db initially too, but the manual says the default is +8 so I don't know. Maybe they changed it on newer units.
Thanks. It's a capture of my single rectifier. Maybe I'll figure out how to upload it at some point but I don't really want anything to do with ToneNet.
Not really. The tonex is acting exactly how a real amp would react to pickups with different outputs so just set it and forget it. If you want to I would just make different presets with different levels of gain to match the different guitars (preset gain not the global input trim)
Input trim is the real secret of the tone x pedal...out of the box it sounded very bad...all my fav presets of the free software sounds very low and different at first. Then i began working on the input trim and i made a rule myself to match the sound of the same preset as it sounds on the software... now i am enjoying all the sounds at their best....
I've had my ToneX a few months now and didn't know about this. Thank you so much man!!
Great video Bro. This seems to be the most important part of the entire pedal

I just got this pedal yesterday and was confused by the clean tones being distorted., awesome. Thanks a ton

Awesome! I just got my pedal and I’m setting it up, so glad I saw this before using it. Thanks!
If the unit can pickup the signal as LOW, OK and HIGH, I wonder it there could be an AUTO function in the future, keeping everything clean.
thanks for making a great video that's to the point and describes the content of the video in the title!
Thanks for the very helpful and detailed video!

Whats your input trim settings now?

Great vid and needed.
Hey man cool video. Does this thing actually have smoother less fizzy distortions"? Great playing too! Cheers
Great Tip, thank you 🤟

You have to adjust the setting manually for different guitars; it's not set and forget like Fractal modelers.

@@markwest5217How do you currently adjust when switching guitars? By doing exactly the same thing?
@@christianvanhorn8446 no. I twist, a knob or two, lol

Thanks so much. This stuff is not intuitive to a lot of us, and IK assume we all have a background in production.
Thanks! So you change the input trim every time you change your guitar?
Can you have different input and output levels for each preset like on the hx stomp?
No that’s the global input trim
I'm confused.... I have a Stratocaster, and even with the trim at max i still got LOW so I added a pedal (fulltone ocd with drive and volume FULL ON: so loud!) and still get LOW. Is my unit faulty or do I misumderstand?
My trim is set to +14 with very weak strat single coils. With a hard strum i get ”OK” in the display.

You're the man
Input trim should be a per preset option.
Where can I find that capture? It sounds amazing!
Thanks. It's a capture of my single rectifier. Maybe I'll figure out how to upload it at some point but I don't really want anything to do with ToneNet.
Does that mean I have to change a global setting every time I go between a Strat (single coils) and a Charver (Duncan JB) for example?

Most of the captures sound weak in the software version. By raising the input trim, the amps spring to life.
Mine came set to zero.
mine always says low when using my gibson les paul. 😂
Thanks! Excellent Demo.
It's a digital device. I'd say that, if the maker put an Trim In right there, there must be a good reason for it.
Funny it’s easier to get to on the TomeX one
Thanks for the advice
