I think I’m going to join the Tonex world here pretty soon. I’m 61 years old and my first digital amp was the flagship line 6 AM. Later I got a Vetta amp. Reading through the manual about digital modeling and some of the amps that were modeled for Vetta gave me the hopes and dreams of preserving all the classic old amps of our past. I would never buy the Tonex as a standalone modeler. But I have a full-blown helix and I can really see the fitting in as a great addition to the models of line 6. And opening up to a whole world of old vintage amps that people have modeled. Watching you play such pristine sounds on this video has encouraged me to possibly take the Tonex plunge here very soon. Thank you.
I just jumped in a couple weeks ago and it's amazing. Really great upgrade for the Helix and HX Stomp for me, and I still think those sound great but it's just something else. And it takes pedal really well!! I'm so impressed with it.
Gorgeous tones and gorgeous playing , John! I was convinced when TONEX first came out, and then I was convinced again, when I started recording with it. it’s simply the best at taking a “snapshot” of an amp. It doesn’t replace amps or anything else. It does a job, and it does it well.
it completely replaces an amp. Thats exactly what modeling is. Now it doesnt do everything an amp does but an amp wont do everything it will do either.
this is ridiculously beautfiful. I was about investing in a real fender amp, but this video made me just forget the idea. thank you for the incredible demos.
Just got mine yesterday and immediately added it to the Stomp's FX Loop and it fit like a glove into my rig (a vintage chameleon glove). Love everything about it (besides maybe the software, but it didn't take too long to find my way around it).
I was wondering when brown face amps would get some love. My ‘63 brown face deluxe is a mean little thing and not what people think of when you think “fender”. It’s more aggressive than a 5E3 and much more controlled
I got the 62 brown pro DI pack, running through effects loop of boss gt core using IR and they do sound amazing. The clean patches take overdive and distortion so well.
Thanks for doing clean sounds! Lots of hi-gain demos out there, which is cool, but I'm interested in clean and edge of breakup tones.👍 These sound really good! Checked out other amps he has listed and they sound amazing as well. Probably going to have to pick up some!
I’ve been using ToneX software for about a year. Some great stuff out there for it. Justgot the ToneX One pedal this week. Hoping to combine it with my HX Stomp. Would love to see a video from you using this combination. Beautiful intro. I’ll be looking for the backing track on your Patreon page if you’re putting it up. Really like those brown face sounds. Look forward to hearing more. Cheers.
I just picked one up, after struggling with Tone X one and setting the input/outputs I got some really beautiful sounds. Excited for the new update. My one complaint would be how not user friendly the software is, but hopefully they fix that in the update. Thanks for all the great videos John!
I just bought one used. It had a dumble model........ stacked a few pedals on top in front of a Seymour Duncan Power Stage 200 and I am done. Clean as a whistle, Tone found. I can't wait to dive in on the other amps. Trying to spool on the interface for the app now.
I already own a Helix, but am ready to buy a Tonex of some sort (just because) to have as a backup or for variety. It's as much about the bundled native software as the hardware as I mostly play in my studio plugged straight into my audio interface and running Helix Native or Overloud TH-U. The ONE is cool but I really like having access to the extra memory (3 models per bank) in the Pedal so that I can easily switch between clean/crunch/drive in one bank and switch to a different bank easily with a different amp setup of clean/crunch/drive. But the small form factor of the ONE is enticing.
"The ONE is cool but I really like having access to the extra memory (3 models per bank) in the Pedal " What pedal are you referring to? I thought the One WAS the pedal?
Demoing the ToneNet partner store stuff is something I'm very interested in. I see all these different amps and partners but it's hard to know if I'd like them or not.
I almost bought a few Amp Gems packs a couple of weeks ago until I realised that there were no cabinets. His captures sound tremendous though, so I'll probably revisit his packs when I'm a bit more TONEX savvy.
John, how can we get the backing tracks that you’re using here so that we can then practice and learn the way you play these lead lines . Really beautiful and I think a great way to learn how to play in your ‘style’. Great vid, thanks 🎉
I just want to update after a few days I've fallen in love with this amp. OMG it's amazing, and it takes ODs really well! Highly recommended if you love those mid forward Fender tones. It's very lush! I'm putting it through a Creamback+V30 combo.
There's some funky low gain sounds like this on Richard Thompson's solo guitar soundtrack for Werner Herzog's great Grizzly Man documentary. Seems like he does have a Fender Deluxe from 1956. This Fender 62 Deluxe has tons of character, I'm surprised how good and funky it sounds, it sounds like you can almost smell it cookin' in the room. These are the kinds of amps I think modelling is really cool for. Amps, I'm basically not too likely to ever own. Because I'll keep the workhorse Marshall JTM/Plexi, Vox AC15/30. Fender Princeton/Deluxe Reverb around because those 3 amp styles cover 80% of what I need. But then for the rest, apart from unobtanium amps like Dumbles , I'd quite like more models of lots of smaller, funkier, more lo-fi character amps. Even things like Vox AC4s, '57 Tweed Champs, Vibro-Champs etc...
Thanks for enlightening me to Amp Gems captures. I was avoiding them due to being DI only. You’ve really dialed them in and sound inspired. I’m going to try them with my favorite Two-Notes Jensen speakers.
The DI captures are without a doubt the best if you have good cab IRs. I got the “everything pack” from Tone Junkies and there’s plenty of their 26 amps and 30+ captures per amp that have DI only. Then with about 60+ cab IRs included there are some insanely good Tones to be found.
Thanks John. I have a Suhr Hombre which is basically a brownface deluxe. Great live but tough to use at home. I'll be getting this capture having recently picked up a tonex pedal.
Amp Gems seem to have reasonable prices so I will check them out. I already have most of Amalgam audio and Matt Figs. I really like Matt Figs clean Friedman custom BE100.
Interested about whether you use studio monitors or an fr cab for sound. Have the pod express but need an sound device for non gigging lower volume - thanks.
I never use the provided IR for tone models. They're just not reliable. I have 4 IRs that's I've blended, a 1x12, 2x12, Rock, and Metal. And just use those for consistency.

Its great. I have tonex and and the ox stomp and I'm very pleased
Im not sure why youd never buy it as a standalone amp modeler. Its as good as anything else.
I'm software in luna and apollo solo. Working good
I have vintage fender and two rock amps , the tone X is the real deal mate

love to see more tonex + hx stomp stuff😊
That’s a good team up with Amp Gems, JC. Looking forward to your demos.
Listening in bed. Wife turned around saying "this is BEAUTIFUL". I totally agree.
Deluxe Twins incoming? Two boys, Nathan & Cordy?
Best tones ive heard from a amp modeler

Superb sounds. So cool to have a collection of iconic Fender amps that fits in the palm of your hand. Incredible, to say the least.
Really like the clean tones
I got the 62 brown pro DI pack, running through effects loop of boss gt core using IR and they do sound amazing. The clean patches take overdive and distortion so well.
I wasn’t aware of Amp Gems before this video. I will definitely check them out further. Good stuff. Thanks!
Very nice piece. Quite different from most of what I hear from you. I really dig the more subdued feel. Well done!
And stunning is right. These sound fabulous! I will buy the mini Tonex JUST for these Fenders, thanks to you! Appreciate ya!
Thanks for doing clean sounds! Lots of hi-gain demos out there, which is cool, but I'm interested in clean and edge of breakup tones.👍
These sound really good! Checked out other amps he has listed and they sound amazing as well. Probably going to have to pick up some!
I use the Tonex ONE with the Helix and love it! They work fantastically together 👍🏻🎸
How have you found the tone x with helix? I was thinking of doing the same

I’m going to be getting the 66 and 74 Champ and the 62 Bassman from AmpGems. Maybe the 69 Super Reverb too. They got a lot of great captures.
As always John, just stellar playing 💜
Those sounded incredible

Love it. All I want these days is clean. Nice to hear this pedal acquit itself so well. I can feel a purchase coming on.
Just bought the ToneX One and found some profiles that knocked my Boss IR-2 off my direct board.
This was the thing that broke the camel's back, I just bought one tonight lol.
Some beautiful different tones, super nice to hear.

Amalgam Captures is the community’s most liked. I personally also like Jason Sadites and Tone Junkie.
@@Madlikedad Thanks Brother, Tone Junkie put on their whole collection on sale so I grabbed those a couple weeks ago. Great stuff.
What cabs are you using? Are they stock Helix? 4x12 with V30s and a 1x12 of some kind? Sounds really nice.
I almost bought a few Amp Gems packs a couple of weeks ago until I realised that there were no cabinets. His captures sound tremendous though, so I'll probably revisit his packs when I'm a bit more TONEX savvy.
Really great sounds! Very impressive playing to go with those tones! So nice!
Amp gems stuff is great 💜
Dont you have to run this into the effects loop to get good amp models? I would get it if I could run into the front of amp.
John, how can we get the backing tracks that you’re using here so that we can then practice and learn the way you play these lead lines . Really beautiful and I think a great way to learn how to play in your ‘style’. Great vid, thanks 🎉
I put them up on my Patreon as requested!
Ok thanks !!!
I picked up that Brownface Deluxe pack, it's killer.

I recently got the tonex, there’s a hiwatt capture I downloaded that I’m really digging
I can´t find the Tonex presets section at your presets web store
Thanks for enlightening me to Amp Gems captures. I was avoiding them due to being DI only. You’ve really dialed them in and sound inspired.
I’m going to try them with my favorite Two-Notes Jensen speakers.
I prefer DI. I have two notes as well.

There doesn't appear to be any amp gems samples on Tonenet and I tried various searches with ampgems as one and two words?
www.tone.net/tonex/users/amp.gems here
@@johnnathancordy Thanks I found the free tone models and I will try them out later.
Nice tones ,but i've noticed high pich noise . Is it something typical for tonex?
I hope Amp GEMS, does some Magnatone stuff too.
So John how and where you connected the Tonex at??
Any idea why their downloads are double zipped ?
I grabbed the Brownface bundle frome the website.
But first .. dinner 🍛
I'll check 'em out later 👍
Impressed.
Good fun with Fender Strat, Squire Jazzmaster and Jaguar.
Tomorrow, humbuckers ...
BTW The IRs are pretty good too 👍
I play Tonex on most days, and I don't own one of the pedals. For a gigging musician, you are correct. That is not me, I'm a hobbyist at best.
Amp Gems seem to have reasonable prices so I will check them out. I already have most of Amalgam audio and Matt Figs. I really like Matt Figs clean Friedman custom BE100.

what pickups are you using in that Strat
Hey John… In helix native what cabs were you using for your fake load box?
No Tonex profile on your shop page....
sounds great, i will definetlyngive them a try. Would we nice a video playing the tonex + hx effects!
Can you try out Jake Faubers Captures for Teddy Tones?
Do not sleep on the UAFX Dream 65 capture on ToneNet.
Well, you just sold me a Tonex 🙂. Damn UA-cam...haha
He sure picked the Right guy JOHN, he has some interesting stuff so far.
Delicious! ❤

Last.
The pedal itself is terrible (form factor) but it sounds great 🤠
Beautiful outro.
