First time running into your channel. I think it's amazing that you showcase great kick ass bass tones with some affortable bass guitars. All the tones sounded absolutly killer in this video.
Awesome demo, Patrick 😎🤘🏻🎸 this multi-effects processor sounds fantastic. Great clean tones and killer distorted tones.
This thing looks like it would be an amazing tool to have for so many different situations!
Great review Patrick. Thanks for sharing with us.
Sounding great! Especially the Ric!
I think this is the ticket for Bass - some great amp captures in that little box. Thx 🤙🏽
I haven't had any time to run through the Tonex pedal through my PC so I can get used to the naming conventions for the bass amps and cabs... so having them displayed and played in these videos is cool by me!
I play bass, guitar, and drums. While I haven't done much with the drums, this Tonex pedal is going to be a lifesaver. As it stands, I've been using a Tech 21 Sans Amp RPM pre-amp to get my Geddy Lee sound. I soon will be getting the newest rackmount version of this, the Tech 21 Ged 2112. Even with the ToneX that particular device is great for me. I can't wait to try out the ToneX on the base side of my dual rig. When I play live I have both a guitar rig and a bass rig. My bass rig and what I want to do with it are far simpler than my guitar rig. But ToneX will allow me greater flexibility for my bass rig so I can better sound like the cover music we often play. That goes for the guitar side. I always want to create as close a tribute to a favorite song as possible. But don't have nearly enough money needed to get the different amps needed to have even the most basic level of flexibility Between the Soldano SLO-100 at $,3999. (maybe the 30-watt version is only $2.899, woo hoo), or a well-equipped Marshall JCM 800 (at least $3,000) or even the possibility of getting a good Marshall Plexi, amps are just to expensive.
Because I want to build my own recording studio, I would need to get many different amps, and guitars, along with other necessary equipment in order for it to be a small quality. ToneX makes that dream a digital reality, and I love it. The opportunities are endless and I won't have to lug a bunch of equipment around. All my amps will be in one small box that can be taken anywhere in my back pack. Just will too bring my pedal board and guitars, and that's it.
Wow! 🤯 Great review Patrick! Those bass tones are 🔥
Maybe if I don’t have the stomp I can see this as an option. I can hear most stuff that the helix can do with the features of the tonex. But great demo bro
That thing really does sound good! If I didn't already have an HX Stomp I would be checking it out more closely. When Line6 brought amp modeling to the market over 20 years ago I experimented with it and I wanted to like it so much, but in the end I never could get a good tone that I liked, and anything overdrive or distortion, IMHO, sounded like complete crud! So I went back to using my trusty ol' SansAmp for direct to house gigs. Nowadays even the cheap modeling devices sound pretty decent, I have a Zoom B1 Four that I bought for headphone practicing and experimentation and was blown away by how good most of the amp, cab and effect models sound. That got me looking into better quality, more pro level modelers and ended up with the HX Stomp.
Thanks for the review! I wasn't even aware the TONEX existed before I saw this video.
The Tonex supposedly goes really well with the HX Stomp. Theres a video up on here somewhere. I am a die hard tube amp fan, been using a Mark V 25 for years. I did not really like any modeling at all until I tried Tonex, it really surprised me. You can download it and try everything, it just has white noise periodically until you buy it.
honestly, for bass, the stomp beats the tonex by a large margin (i'm a helix user and have been playing with tonex for a few days). flexibility, variety of sounds, parallel routing, fx, etc. The tonex is really limited by itself, especially on bass. you depend on users uploading profiles... which there aren't many for bass (probably 10x or 100x more for guitar).
Now ofc, tonex+stomp is the best setup you can dream of.
I have the B1X Four and the Sansamp and Darkglass drive sound just like my physical BDDI and B3K pedals.
@@Iuslez Hmmm. I owned the HX Stomp for years (just sold it) and now Tonex. If you compare a good Tonex capture of a classic bass amp such as an SVT or B15 to the HX Stomp, the Tonex wins hands down. That applies for live gigs and studio recording. However, if you need lots of effects, the Stomp is OK for live gigs over Tonex.
I'm going to take a serious look at this. I'm planning on getting some kind of modeler this year & until now the Stomp has been the main contender. I have that green mxr preamp which is pretty transparent that will solve the xlr thing. Can you use a trs cable? I haven't looked it up. Great review! Thank you Patrick!
Would like XLR out as well. I’m hoping the release like a deluxe version of this eventually with integrated effects, etc similar to a Helix or Kemper Stage.
Yep, XLR out so that you don't need a separate DI would be a big improvement.
Why not just purchase one of the units you mentioned ?
Is it the same size as the hx stomp? (thinking on building a new mini pedalboard 🤔)
This would possibly complement my Headrush gigboard...and free up my switches for stomp effects . Headrush has very limited bass models and cabs
No XLR out? So would I need to run it through a DI to run it direct?
Can you say something compared to an helix?
So I am guessing this will not let me add / remove delay or octaver on the fly with a physical foot switch to a current AMP/Cab setup... unless those are "pre-baked" into the whole setup?
Sounds great! Most everything is truly up to date…..except the display screen. That might be an issue that would keep me from purchasing.
One potential con: not many effects. Maybe they'll add more. But as far as I can tell, it's only reverb, compression, and a noise gate? Feels like they could add half a dozen more effects without really having to alter the pedal at all. I would minimally like to see fuzz, delay, and chorus.
It can do fuzz pedals, and other kinds of dirt. But it can't do delays and modulation because it captures a tone at a specific time. Delays and modulations change over time, so can't be captured by the tonex software
Well, this comment tells me why Kemper Player Is way better!!! THANKZZ
Do you know anything about routing options? Would be amazing if we could split the cab sim to only affect one output - That way we could send one signal to the FX return of an amp, and a cab sim signal to the desk.
I’ve been wondering about this as well. It’s a big oversight with a lot of DI pedals and there’s no mention of it in the manual.
SVT II Pro or SVT IV pro?
Only missing an aux in for practice :(
No DI is a big miss. Would love this for live and being able to feed FOH.
Seems to sounds good also with bass... anyway i think the title of your video is not correct, tonex is a profiler not a modeler, really different products
Patrick
Great review
I’m so glad you did it for bass
So cool, I’ll probably get one for bass
I play a Warr guitar
I just ordered one for the guitar side of my Warr guitar
Now, I also need it for the bass side of the Warr
Is this just a pedal version of the plug-in?
It just lets you load 150 of the captures the plug-in can create onto the pedal with some basic features, like a noise gate, reverb, etc.
It's more useful for a touring musician, whereas most producers will be fine with the plugin.
Can I use software without pedal To play live ?
You will need to bring a computer on stage, this not very convenient and your computer may be damaged.
Sounds great. I wonder how this compares to the Quad Cortex as it is significantly cheaper.
this is not a modeler.
@@cheveyo2403 how do you describe what this device does then? Sorry I'm new to the tech
It is literally the epitome of a modeler. And it's a good question how it compares to the QC.
@@57precision I just call it modeling, I guess it does something with AI or whatever, idk, the end result is a recreation of an amp, so I call it a modeler.
@@Jett-Litt it is not a modeler. it makes a snapshot more like an IR. there is no model simulating anything
No di out?
The magic part of this pedal is the Tone capture features, otherwise, it's a $400 HX Stomp with only reverb. I'd like to have seen you capture one of your special amps/cabs combo that gives you the Patrick tone.
OK- I stand corrected, this pedal is essentially just the playback portion of the tone captures.
This or a POD GO??
Seriously no D.I. out?!
Why why why does not has a DI? 🤦🏻♂️
No D.I.??!!!
Brother, I need those presets in my life. Hook us up!
It sounds great and is amazing. imo It`s almost too much. They could make a 200 dollar model I think would be less overwhelming and do what is needed. It`s a cool rig though!
To much for a simple man like myself
What's the point, when you're using a different bass with every preset? This video tells me nothing.
To me that makes more sense since we all have different basses. I get your point generally but to me the other way around is just more useful overall
Everyone has something negative and stupid to say, just let it be, if you like it buy it, if you don’t, well don’t
I like it. I bought it.
Nice Demo, but it's not a modeler
400 bux. no blend knob. no di out. no thanx.
No thanks, I don't support this brand/company at all. had a bad experience with them few years ago. bought their recording guitar software, stopped working, not once, but twice. I called them and it was a joke. trying to get them on the phone, not happening. their automated, voice, is like 7 options, to choose from and it gets worse.
These are the comments that people need. Customer support is number one to me; I can’t stand a company that stops once they get your cash. Buy the support.
@@mossy723 No problem. what happened was, all the effects stopped working and I was getting a "Dry Signal" coming thru my monitors. Pete Thorn did a demo video on another software & I mention, what happened to me with IK Mul. and he didn't like that. I told my story like I did here and I'll never support any another software again that has guitar effects, etc. Well he comes back and defends pretty much all guitar/effect software, by knocking me down on what I said. He comes back with, " that's like if you had a bad experience with one car, then you'll never buy any another car agin." brand wise.
At the end of the day, no one really cares, because this is currently the best tone capturing software on the market. People are going to buy it regardless, because it sounds the best.
@@justsomerandomguyman that’s not the point.
