Hey Ben, thanks for your comment! That might be an interesting video idea for me to film indeed! Only major problem is making the time, just became a dad for the second time ;) But I'll save the idea, I do like it!

Thank you very much :)

Hey, thanks! What do you mean with in the box delays? Latency between strict in the box tracks and hybrid routed to console and back? Or delay effects? Or something else? :)

@@MaxFreist What I meant to ask is can the fx , reverbs, delays etc be routed to the auxes on the desk without latency when mixing hybrid ? or you mostly have the fx sends set up in your daw ?

If I understand correctly what you want, this is possible. Which device?

@@MaxFreist It is? I thought the low gain switch affected both channels?

​@@MaxFreist Like I'm talking about the one inside too not the one on the front. I want like totally clean one channel and max gain on the other

​@@MaxFreisterrr I guess the structure switch is what I mean. I assume it affects both channels right?

@@francismcfadden3305 ah sorry I completely misunderstood you - yes you are right, they affect both channels and I too wish they didn't. But for me low gain plus a boost works great, I really like the BE mode with gain maxed!

You're welcome, thanks for commenting! :) Have you tried the captures/models?

@@MaxFreist No, I haven't. I just use amps and plug-ins for now.

Hey Thomas, thank you :) I think that should not be a problem but can't double check right now and it's not something I'm doing a lot - so I'd like to get back some time, but might be quite some time as we just had a child ;)

You mean regarding fuzzes? I have never tried one so far. Had the thought too.

Muito obrigado! 🙏🙂

Thank you Thomas for your kind words! Indeed both snares are great and pretty versatile, I've messed with heads, tuning and damping a bit and you can get a lot out of it 👍🏻😊

It really depends on what you want to compare. ToneX has no effects, it's a amp surrogate (yeah, Reverb and comp, but not very good ones imho and not effect units like the other 2). Processing power - quad cortex is best as it's most flexible and can run multiple stuff parallel. GT1000 is limited to 2 amps and fixed number for each FX. Sounds of the fx - both QC and GT1000 are good.

Thanks Brandon for the input and kind words 🙏🙂

Muchas gracias Alejandro! No I haven't yet!

Yep, it adds up fast. Take a great combination like HX FX and ToneX. Add a wireless. Maybe monitor thru a digital mixer. 10ms easily. Or a effect pedal with modulation, delay or reverb without an analogue dry thru. It adds up ;)

I kept the 6.5 and don't regret it! Very flexible, very adaptable with different heads and tunings 👍🙂

Thanks for sharing your experience! In the recent 2.1 update (a few days ago) NDSP wrote that overall system latency has been improved - I haven't had the time to test and measure it yet. And yeah, GT1000 successor is something I have thought of too - it's already some years old 😁

Thank you John! Wanna Trade image quality for a quad of 2000 V30? 😁😁😁

@@MaxFreist Man, I wish I even had a quad 😂

Hey, thanks for your comment. It's a great preamp, unfortunately I'm not sure when I should find the time to do a review on it. Also I feel it would only be interesting to a small niche of people..... That's no reason not to do a video on it, but I have a lot of different ideas for videos and need to prioritize ;) So - not now, maybe in the future. Cheers!

Hey, you're right, I didn't go into further detail - but that's because I can't put it into words properly. All I know is that when not playing and switching it is harder to tell which is the real amp from just listening to how it sounds. As soon as I have the guitar in hand and switching then I can tell in a blind test. If I find a way to describe it better in the future, I will ;)

Hi, yes I have an RM100 and RM4, haven't tried it yet but should be great too - without mods a bit more low end and less tight.

Thanks Steven, glad you like it!

Hey Stepan, thanks mate! It's a Seymour Duncan Little 59 - so a medium output humbucker.

Danke Henning! 🤘🏻

Thank you 😊 Yes the BB is still cleaner. And yeah that was my thought - having a off/Ch2/both switch like the EQ on the IICP or the presence and depth on the Deliverance. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! How do you like the sounds?

Thanks! :)

Too many great options ;) Both are good. What do you have on your Pedalboard right now, are you happy with the fx? What music, what are you favourite sounds?

@@MaxFreist nothing special, in fx loop strymon big sky and timeline, eventide micropitch, in front (change overtime) rn a lightspeed, boss od3 and a tuner. Thats all. And the boss ir 200 as a amp and cab. Last diso+ for flexibility.

@@fedboy21 that's a pretty great selection man! I have a Timeline and Mercury7 as external FX. If your happy with the board and the control and "user interface" I'd say stick with it and get a ToneX. If you need compactness, changing multiple fx and sounds with one press (unless you have that implemented on your board already) quad Cortex might be great for you.

It's really a subjectivity of yours since you can see the physical thing. Try blind test!

You are correct regarding plugin latency compensation, but as you said with regards to the pedal in test here.... no latency compensation ;)

@@MaxFreist yeah you're kind of at the mercy of the pedal then. I think you could maybe use real pedals though in front of the Tonex thing and solve it that way maybe. Are these fuzz pedals analogue? I don't know much about pedal distortion. I just use an amp in the studio. But listening to this I mean the Tonex thing sounds fine to me. I wouldn't have a problem trying it in production and seeing if it works for the track. Seems like we have lots of great options these days. :)

@@Screaming-Trees yes great point - we are spoiled with great options these days ;) Yeah the fuzz pedals are analogue. For me the ToneX pedal and software is a tool for a) saving amp sounds and b) quick turn around times and songwriting, where I can just throw the plugin on a DI track instead of reamping multiple tracks thru my amp rig. Still love my amps, still like the Quad Cortex for some of the stuff where it delivers. Fun times 😁

@@MaxFreist Oh for sure. I get it. Guitar isn't my primary instrument I produce electronic music but I do like playing them and I do end up making stuff with guitars. It's mostly a blow off some steam thing for me though, do something different with the brain, get a different perspective etc etc. I have been around a lot of guitar production in a real studio setting though. Mostly around London and Newcastle and more recently in Austin TX. Sometimes just as a tag along with friends and sometimes as a consultant. For most pros anything goes really. I've seen lots of Guitar Rig sessions for example. And that's how it should be I think. Open minded about anything. If it works in the context of the track you are trying to produce it doesn't matter what it is. I get your point about loving your amps though. It's not either or. I prefer amps myself as well but I don't really own that many pedals (just one). And I don't even use that one. But this Tonex thing sounds pretty good to me. I would have no problem using it in the studio. I'm also a bit ampless at the moment having just got rid of Supersonic 22 due to noise floor issues. I'd like to buy a Hiwatt but it seems that's a whole saga. Might take a while to figure out which one is the true Hiwatt company. So until I can sort out my new amp I might have to try this Tonex thing thanks to you. Cheers.

Awesome that it's working out so great for you! If your into Marshall sounds, check Runt + Maxon from a guy called Tim, just stumbled upon that.

why? ;)

@@MaxFreist It has a bigger, fuller sound. And for me i'm not dong any capturing because the sounds already in it sound amazing.

@@w1zard0f0h cool, thanks for sharing!

what is a good djent sound in your opinion?

The IR was added in the DAW for exact comparison, so different IR resolutions will not factor in ;)

@@MaxFreist In that case this just makes me all the more excited I'll be receiving my ToneX Pedal on Friday! Great comparison, it's really nice to hear these units stacked up to each other so clearly.

@@toast180 thank you! :) Have fun with the ToneX pedal, let me know how it works out for you!
