That doubler is worth the price of admission
Sure is!
It is killer. I had it on preorder for what seemed like forever 😂. The doubler is really good as is the power amp and cab emulation. Main thing I love about it is the Bluetooth input, being able to just play along to whatever backing tracks off my phone and have my board in stereo with the doubler option too is great without having to faff around with getting it plugged into amps and have my audio interface and computer on too when practicing is awesome. This vid was a bit tonex heavy, it’s worth pointing out this works great with that, but also you can run any amp in a box type pedal into it or even use it to add stereo effects loop to your real tube amp if you run it after a load box. I use it with a JTM45 and an ox box and it’s fantastic whether using it for practice with headphones or to record into an interface and DAW.
I may have broken my finger and the sound barrier, clicking on this video… Mr. Drew, has quickly become my favorite guitar master here on the yootoobz.
Best part of my day is seeing a new video.
Thank you for your time, talent, and sense of humor. Be well, Sir. Be well Rat Army. Peace.
Thanks fella
As someone who lives between analog and modeling, this is very interesting to me. Thanks, Paul!!!
Glad it was helpful!
I could play for life with this tone. I always try to figure out which chord forms Paul uses and I can’t always. I’m hoping Paul can in a future video show us his favorite chord voicing. Maybe? Great to see you guys again as always. Cheers
Cheers Tim, it’s really simple chords, root on A string 5th on D and 3rd on B string this could be either major or minor. I’ll show you on Wednesdays live show
Awesome Sound.!!🎸🎶🎸
I tried this pedal months ago and it was great. I may consider it as replacement of my boss IR-2 in case
Sounds really good
As a home headphone player I got this recently and it has absolutely made my home use with pre-amp pedals stellar. The headphone out with the doubler is beautiful. Great video explaining the unit. What was the IR you were using in this demo?
A lot in the box!
Purchased! Considering getting a second ToneX One. Wondering how to route it now.
Really not sure about this .. why would you not just get an HX Stomp instead? Given the amount it costs .. or for less money you could get a TwoNotes Opus .. and it still doesn't let IKMultimedia off the hook for not putting enough I/O on the bigger pedal (still inexcusable for me) ..
This is definitely the most impressive pedal thing that still have no idea what it does :D
SOLD! Wow feature packed
It could also be your Soldano SOL pedal's best friend paired with the Endgame's 6L6 power tube amp sim
Good point
xlr to desk, trs to stage monitors. fold back from desk to monitors, really usefull if 2 x inputs on monitors. desk gets to adjust your tone without affecting your monitor tone that you have set up your tones. a nice way to configure your live set up
Good tip!
Superstrats are the #1 best guitars live
That’s awesome. My board keeps shrinking due to getting down to essential pedals to work with the ToneX One. That would sum up things nicely.
Looking good Dave!
@@TheStudioRats Cheers.
Can anybody tell me how you can tell whether a TONEX capture has power amp included?
So do you have the cab ir off on the tonex and using the KMA ir?
Exactly
Paul - did you keep the Divided by 13 CJ11 you got 10 months ago or did you unload it?
i did not, great amp tho
Thats a 'Brian May in the rehearsal studio' ..
The only thing it’s missing is USB out.
Really lke the Doubler sound. Anyone make just a doubler pedal?
TC Electronic make (or used to make) a pedal called the Mimiq doubler, in both standard and mini formats…
@cosmicdog62 The Keeley 30ms Automatic Double Tracker pedal is fantastic.
