- In today's video, I am looking at the much anticipated TONEX pedal from IK Multimedia. This pedal is the hardware version of IK Multimedia TONEX software, where you can capture the sound of your favorite guitar amplifier and then plug into the TONEX pedal to play the exact tone that you captured.
Experience hyper-realistic Tone Models
A revolutionary concept in rig modeling, and the core of the TONEX ecosystem, TONEX software uses breakthrough AI Machine Modeling™ technology to let you model the sound of any amp, cabinet, combo, or pedal, and turn it into a plug-in, all with a sonic accuracy that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. You can instantly play up to 1,000+ Tone Models already available plus browse, demo and download the growing number of Tone Models available on TONEX in ToneNET.
From rare one-of-a-kind vintage amps to modern rigs, TONEX makes it possible and affordable to own the most sought-after gear in the world.
The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.
Moving faster and faster to the "amp less" world where nobody cares what the amp IS...just what SOUNDS you are getting. Thank You Paul! Best Regards and Best Wishes!
How long before somebody trains an AI from all of the captured models and we have an AI that can produce models from prompts without having to capture a real amp? Ampless amp models. 🤯
@@peek4b00h And imagine AI of every pedal ever, even the very complex Eventide stuff. Virtual pedalboard of any amp and any pedal combination. Talk about option paralysis! 🤣🤣
I feel stupid for asking this, but if you're playing live with this setup, what do you actually see on stage?...just a laptop on a stand next to you and the pedal on the floor? The signal is being fed into the house pa and you have a wedge to hear yourself? Just asking, as I've never used or thought about using a setup like this....
@@bluarcher5941 no laptop necessary, thats the beauty of this pedal…. Laptop only necessary for setting up your presets (which you would do before a show)…
Yea, the names are just useful to give people a general idea. Who knows, one day this technology could surpass tube amps. I have a Mark v 25 and there was a 2C+ that I absolutely loved, if my amp god forbid, went away somehow, I would be happy to use Tonex.
I just discovered this channel a week or so ago, but WOW. This is my new go-to for tone!
It’s a great channel. Really useful and fun to watch!
You get by far the best clean tones out of the ToneX than any video I've watched... and I've watched many.
Yes, true...... because they don't come out only from ToneX :)
Absolutely stunning sound on the Fender with the two P-90's (starting at 1:04). Beautiful playing throughout Paul.
I simply love that Pink strat. Some great tones Paul. Love that shimmer sound and your chord melodies!
Wow an exclusive ! this is great for the Rat Channel 👏 and a fantastic pedal too, got to get one, been using Amplitude 5 and tonex software for a while now and was blown away with the quality, now with the Tonex pedal I can gig with the same quality tones ! superb !
A truly great review and demonstration of sounds. Thank you.
Just bought a tone x. Wow! Sold my quad cortex. It really does capture the amps well and I use my usual effects on my board with it. The quad cortex effects were not up to standard and like you said real pedals didn’t work the same in front of it like tone x does. Also tone x runs off normal 9v low power consumption
ye 9volts but 320 ampers ?? was it?
The clean tone on the bad cat is so good. Can't wait to get my tonex pedal.
I’ve used quite a lot of their Logic plug ins before, and they are always great.
It’s here! Thanks for the demo!
Ordered! My own pedalboard, plugged directly into this, every amp under the sun. How did the others not see the need for this?
Wow, IK work quick. I literally said last night on the live stream that they should get into hardware 😂 Great product, amazing video as usual Paul 🤘🏼
The AmpliTube line was launched in 2021. They had 4 pedals before this one.
It's obvious I have to get a great Mac soon, then get Tonex.
But the real star of this is your great playing Well Done !
Great demo. I love IK, I have Syntronik, Sampletank, Amplitube 5 and ToneX.
Thanks Paul. This is gonna be FUN!
Enjoyed your demonstration 👍🏼
Great tone Paul, I am sure your ability helps! Great job.
Thanks for the great review.
I’m a QC user but just ordered the Tonex pedal as - from my alternate perspective - I effectively get the pedal “free” with Max (using some existing IK bucks here to make up the difference). The Max Dumble models alone are almost worth it - and combine that with some fantastic Jubilee models I downloaded it made it a no-brainer. I’ve got some great tube amps that I look forward to modelling as well (totally could have done a great job of that with the QC as well admittedly but never got around to it).
You achieved some great tones. How can anyone argue with this?
How could I pay attention to anything more than those Beautiful guitars!!!! Great collection you have . That Gold top P90 is 🔥🔥 ❤ . okay going to start video over and listen now! I’m a p90 guy and one day will play one of those Paul’s!!!! New Subscriber !
This will be my next guitar purchase for sure
Nice demo! Just ordered one too 😀
I've decided to get the Tonex Pedal because I've tried the free version of the tonex plugin and I loved it ! Try it before you go ahead and spent 400 Bucks in a product that maybe you don't like.
Great video and amazing unit. I'm really wondering did you try to run it with Boss Katana and how would that sound ?
Thank you for sharing your review it helped me decide to get one!
Glad I could help
Best review on this pedal..thanks
Such great sounds! Thanx a lot for sharing!!!!
My pleasure
Wow great demo. You sold me on this pedal. IK will owe you some commissions! :P
Someone loves p-90s.I really enjoy your playing.
Seriously considering selling my Boss Pedal collection and Vox AC30 Alnico Blue to buy one of these instead. I’ve used Tonex software since it came out and love it. This is the icing on the cake I can replicate the tones love exactly how they are going to the recordings. A real holy grail moment.
Great review Paul!! I could listen to you play all day long! Always tasty and killer tones. I need one! 😎
Beautiful tones.. if you released a pack of amps you've captured, I'm sure I'm wouldn't be alone in buying them.
Thank you sir. Always enjoy your videos. Just noticed the pedal doesn't have a delay?
These heavily modded teles and strats you're rockin are AWESOME!!!!
That little thing you play at 4:28 is beautiful. I actually forgot to listen to the comparison 😅
Great tones... cool product!
Huge fan of your channel. I have Kingsley Maiden D, and Constable Plexi preamp that I use with pedals like: Gladio, JHS Angry Charlie, Flint ,El Capistan etc. Couldn't be more happier with my sound. But,the question for you is: How is it that on your every video, regardless of what u using, sound is top notch. Real Amp,Fractal, Boss,plug ins, whatever is it's always 10. Now,that is an art in itself ,and video about that would be realy,realy welcome. Keep em coming and all the best.
Cheers Bero, you have some nice gear there. I think I look for a very specific type of sound in a piece of gear, this can also be a hindrance. I like tight articulate amp sounds. I sound terrible through a tweed amp.😀
Paul, you make everything sound good. But this is exceptional!
Paul, there is one skill, that you just don‘t have: you are unable to let anything sound bad! :D
you had me at takes pedals well :D
I've tried to use Positive Grid's BIAS ecosystem to have the same sound on computer and live, and... it was just too fiddly messing with an iPad and interface (and they've discontinued their pedals and big amps). I think this could be the way forward for me. Thanks for sharing!
Dude the Fender with P90's OMG!!!
Yeah its a really cracking guitar Brett. It was one of Greg Fessler's showcase guitars for the 2018 NAMM show.
Excellent demo
One of the few guitar channels where the talking doesn't get in the way. Great content.
beautiful, i want that now.
Playing does not disappoint
gear is just gear🙂love your playing🙂
I love that paisley strat ,
Hello! Great demo and channel! Would you be able to do a review of the ISP Theta Pro DSP and dive into its vintage preamp section with some lower gain settings? Your playing is very easy on the ears and I think you would do a super demo. Cheers!
I was waiting for the price to be well out of my range, nice surprise! All that for £399 is fantastic, looks like I'll not be needing to buy a Captor X after all. Cheers Paul :)
I think you still do. I've been looking. You either need a load box and some other tools or the ToneX Capture. If I'm wrong, I'd be glad to know
@@ehdforlife In my case instead of attenuating my Marshalls with a Captor X, this box should allow me get a good (valves cooking) low volume Marshall tone without annoying the neighbours. For recording use (and effects) I have a GT1000, that should serve as a PC interface for the Tonex. All the hundreds of other amp tones available are icing on the cake and if it sounds as good for live use, as Paul here is making it out to be, then so much the better :)
O.T. that fender it's fantastic!
I absolutely love my Amplitube!! If this thing sounds as good as Amplitube I’m sold!!!
it'a thousand times better man
@@slidersson No, ten thousand times
Hi Paul. Nice demo!! Do captures react to volume pot on the guitar? Let’s say if you are using the gainier capture and back off on the guitar volume?
Great. Many thanks. Will you be uploading your amp captures? Please?
Great tones
Thanks a lot Paul !!👋
Hey mate, awesome captures! That sounds great!
Were both those matchless captures on tonenet? I can only seem to find the one with the boost in front of it, was the clean one up there as well?
I thought it was, I’ll have to check next week.
Great review.
Is it worth buying this if you only have a small Boss MKII Amp?
I was gonna go with an HX stomp as my first decent modeler , but not any mo6, this is just too good
Great review Paul. Just wondering if IK missed something though. The unit doesn't have an effects loop and it's got a single mono input. What way would you run this if you have a Stereo pedal setup but still want to use the headphone output to monitor your signal?
Thanks for showing a clean setting. Too many distorted tones on demos.
Hi great video thanks, any knowledge if there prone to malfunction ? lag ? hows the quality control on them? where are they built ? is it with quality components ? thanks so much
Great video. Very informative and great playing and sounds. You also save 100$ if you own Tonex MAX.
You're the best paul. Your reviews makes spend more money! 🤣🤣🤣
Hello Paul, I am wondering if you got deeper in technical combinations and considered to test the setup with two tonex's and gt core signal chain with two amps setup? Interesting would be if different amp models on tonex's introduce different latencies and would destroy the idea? May be you have done it already with neural/kemper?
Really good demo and overview of the pedal, thanks. I don’t see any use for it now with my 7 yr old Helix, but should it die tomorrow this is probably what I would replace it with.
briljant! just bought another product but this is tempting anyway
Not going to lie. I'm using a Kemper and I'd happily replace it with a little stomp box sized alternative like this. I don't use the Kemper to actually profile my own *one* amp, I just want a little magic box with a handful of solid tones for gigging and recording. This Tonex pedal looks 🔥🔥🔥
Do you not use any effects on the Kemper?
@@iansimmons735 Yes I use the in-built FX. I suppose the Tonex is a wee bit limited in that aspect but doesn't it have compressor, overdrive, reverb etc?
@@IainFrame No overdrive, although you can capture an OD pedal but can have an od capture go into an amp capture. I think you can capture an OD into an amp as a single baked in capture though.
I love Tonex, but I miss a switch on/off button
How does the dynamic response compare to real amps, the Kemper or the quality cortex ?
Does it compress or has it distant fell from latency ?
This is a game changer
These are some of the best tones i've heard. In particular with the p90 les paul. Really tempted to try this.
So this is like a kemper, so you dont need an amp or even cab? Could you go straight into the foh?
this in combo with an helix FX. what more do we need ? 😁 that way we can add the effects not available on the tonex (delay, chorus, tremolo). you have your sound on the go be it at home with headphones, at a gig, on vacation,..
Sounds great! Big fan of your Boss katana videos.Have you tried this Tonex pedal into the power amp in of the boss katana?
Not yet
Just My GranMa is Missing To Show That Pedal on UA-cam Today 😅😅😅 but for a Trusty and Tasty Demo that's the Place ..with Paul🎸😀🤟
Great playing actually.
Does the bundle with the software give everything needed to capture amps on hand, or do you need to purchase the Capture Box (or other hardware) separately?
Assuming this is a pedalboard product that you are putting in-between preamp effects (overdrives, etc) and after it (no loop) will be time-based effects, are you then having to use a DI or the like to go straight into the board? The ToneX has IRs and such so it is designed to go straight to the desk, but everything appears to be pedal signal output at the end of the chain. Hope this makes sense.
Great video... love your Matchless Independence 35 TSR Capture... playing its lot since December. Are the others in this video also available... can’t find them on toneNET 🤔
His Captures sure sound great that Matchless is awesome and the Bad Cat is different too.
@@ksharpe10 found it on the website… no clue why the app couldn’t find it… I‘ll try again
Can you disable direct input monitoring when using it as an interface/amp?, Can you also send MIDI commands with the footswitches?... that's what I wanted to do with the HX Stomp when using it with my iPad for extra FX but on HX Stomp you can't disable direct input monitoring... This seems like a perfect add on for someone with an HX stomp that can be used only for FX or the Helix FX
Cool, sounds from a great player. Just wish The Tonex Pedal had a stereo insert - send/return - so that I could run effects before using the USB out to send audio to my computer. I think that was a serious oversight.
That would be cool.
Paul, you have some really incredible guitars! The tone from these things are truly amazing! Especially the paisley strat 🤩 however do you still have your old faithful, the gold top DGT?
Cheers Danny, the DGT got sold some one ago.
Oh yeah ik multimedia good sound wow💪
Can you do a segment, or list in the show notes some details about the guitars you used here? e.g. The P 90s in the fender. The single coil in the bridge position on the green strat?
Would love to hear that in a mix on the song falling to pieces!!
I’m gonna wait for version 2 of this to come out, hopefully next year.
But why?
Exactly
Hi thanks for the channel! Please can you tell me how is it possible to get this great recording sound regardless of gear? (the guitar sound is so clear)
I have the ua 476. But I can't get this quality, normal?
Audio interface? Computer?
Sorry for my bad English, I'm French ahah!
Finally a profiler/high-end emulator with a competitive price point. This is actually a compelling purchase for casual/hobbyists rather than having to commit to a "pro-grade" product like a axefx3 (£2399+ in UK), Quad-Cortex (£1599) or Kemper (£1299), for which you could buy a good 2nd hand head + cab or a whole damn car.
This is mono only and offers no fx loop. Id argue its not a high end emulator based on the fact that those two options are a studio standard.
@@thyggs when recording on a record, nowdays they record dry, then put effects. That's why the fx loop is useless in this case. You can get a good fx stompbox for stereo fx and fx in general
I'm thinking hard of getting one of these.. I need something for a floor board amp and this might just do the trick at a much better price than a Kemper, etc.. This thing will kill kemper for guys playing live.. What a great tool.. I'd just use the amps they give me free and maybe add a few pedals and be off to the races for recording and gigging.. Especially since I love it that you can adjust things right on the pedal like EQ and noise gate, etc.. Just perfect for gigging..
beautiful creamy tones
Is it only mono input? Saw that in the owner’s manual. No TRS? Are stereo wet effects after the amp the only option?
Thanx forte nice review. I was wondering if you still use your gt-1000 also, or only the newest stuff?
I do still use the GT
Thanx for answering 👍🏻
The intonation on your guitars is perfect! What strings are you using! Thanks 😀🤟
Cheers Edgar, I use whatever is about at the time. Ernie Ball, rotosound and Diaddario are all great strings.
@@TheStudioRats Thank you! I usually use D'Addario NYXL and Nickel Bronze on the acoustic! Cheers 😀
Paul have you done any captures to use with your Axe3 ..
👍👍
Some very good tones there. I'd be a happy man if I could have the 'brownsound' and the tone for Loudness - Shadows Of War
If I want to play this live, no PA, which kind of cabinet would you use it with?
Great demo. Been enjoying your channel lately.
I’d like to buy one but have a question. Maybe you can help.
I notice when you show your captures that the knobs always stay on the same settings. If you capture an amp with EQ, etc set at whatever and capture that then that’s the sound you want. Once in the pedal you can adjust to taste so maybe bass at 3-4, mids at 2 or whatever. Then you change captures/presets…. Does the new capture share the same settings as the previous one ?
They are not endless encoders so hard to think they reset with each capture you load. Or does each capture load with the previous captures settings and then you re-adjust everything back noon and start over ? Just wondering how that works.
Thank you
That’s a good question, as far as I know it’s per patch, but that’s a good suggestion to be able to choose how it responds. Might be worth putting in a suggestion to IK.
Beautiful guitar playing! Have you released any material?
Yes you can check out The Studio Rats songs on all the platforms
Thank you. Tonex or IR200? What do you think?
Can you say if the ToneX Pedal makes the profiling of my real amps/rig or do I need to have ToneX Capture Box for this?
