Old thread, but I saw bits of Dua Lipa's recent Royal Albert Hall concert, and best I can tell it's a full live band with orchestra. The bass sounded "pocket" enough for me to figure out that it's still Matty Carroll:

Mosky Silver Horse (Klone) as a low gain OD, adds a bit of mid grunt.

I go direct out of the ToneX One in to headphones some times, when I have the pedalboard on a table or something. Other times I plug it in to the dongle for my "TV Headphones", which takes a 3.5mm headphone cable and sends the out signal wirelessly. Latency is very low though not zero, and I think conpression does affect the sound slightly. It's a slightly older version of this model.

Correction: I bought the Squier CV Bass VI back in February, though it feels like longer ago. That would be my best purchase. It's not perfect e.g. it has a flaw in the wiring, and I'm still tightening the truss rod after installing heavier strings, but it has been a real help with pick playing.

I've only purchased pedals this year, so: Worst: NuX Sculpture Compressor, It was OK while it worked, if a bit mild, but has stopped working. Which might be my fault, since I connected the wrong voltage to the PSU that was powering my pedals and popped a cap in that. I'm not certain of the timing, though, and it's still responding to the switch - just no output. Best : IK Multimedia Tonex One. Despite the software being horrid, and a (fixed) problem I had with its license just vanishing from the IK Product Manager, it's worth it because using The Fridge really feels like playing through an Ampeg SVT. It does that thing that makes me sound more professional than I am.

I posted about this earlier: works great in general if you bypass in stomp mode and disable direct monitoring as mentioned. Then it works like a typical interface, you hear only what comes back out the computer. Some iPad apps don’t work, due to sample rates I believe.

If you select Windows Audio as in the first screenshot, can you see the ToneX as an Input Device? I'm not up on the current state of Windows audio, but if you installed the ToneX ASIO driver (in IK Product Manager under your pedal in the Hardware section), it ought to be usable. ASIO used to be the only way to get low latency, though I'm told that Windows Audio has improved in recent years.

I posted about this before, let me add some screenshots. ToneX CS is like two different apps: a Librarian for managing the pedal, and a full tone model / preset creator like AmpliTube. I think these should be two separate apps - it's causing unnecessary confusion. If you are using the pedal as the audio interface, and want full control for creating presets, you do it only in the app and bypass the pedal's processing: stomp mode, bypass, and disable direct monitoring. Or use a different audio interface. You have to enable audio in the app as well: Then the opposite settings (with Input Device: None) if you want to listen to the pedal only, while running ToneX CS as the Librarian.

The modelling / Librarian app is ToneX CS - not Amplitube, which is a standalone system that works with any audio interface. In ToneX CS, when getting started with the One, I recommend you use the Librarian only and set the app's audio inputs to "None" in Settings. That way you can be sure you're hearing only the pedal, whatever you do. When you get better, you can try creating presets in the app, which requires the settings changes I've mentioned a few times already! The factory bass presets are kind-of limited, but then you have loads of free community models through ToneNet. I'm trying out a JHS Colour Box model at the moment, which is a kind of vintage mixer channel that can be pushed in to distortion. The ToneX CS interface is just bad, frankly. I'm getting better at it. When the pedal is connected, you have three sections on the right, top to bottom, and can drag & drop between them. The pedal's slots (3 on the ToneX One). The presets stored on the pedal (20 on the ToneX One) The app's presets or tone models, depending on what you have selected in the left side column. It can be Presets or Tone Models, with a Preset being a Tone Model (stomp gain / amp / cab combo) plus the extra bits (gate, compression, effects etc.). You filter the contents of the bottom box using the bottom left e.g. Bass for just bass presets, "Owned Only" to not show anything you don't already have. The Colour Box model was classed as "Owned" after I downloaded it to the app.

Another iteration of my "big board" (by my standards at least) for home practice. I'm trying to keep it simpler by using the Complicator* as a preamp / cabsim only without anything in the loops. It's still doing split processing, I can blend between a clean tone (with LPF) or a preamp tone for some grit. I wonder if I can modify that box to make the blend externally controllable? After that I brought back the Boss MD-200 and added an expression pedal to control effect depth. Out of that in stereo in to the t.mix, where I can add music over Bluetooth and attach headphones. In a live setup I'd probably take DI from the Complicator and use its FX loop with the JHS 3 Series Phaser (which is working again for now). Signal path: Peterson StroboStomp Mini -> Orange Kongpressor -> mxr bass octave deluxe -> T-Rex Diva Drive -> Complicator -> Boss MD-200 -> t.mix Micromix * The LY-ROCK clone of a DSM&H Simplifier, top centre. The board is the Harley Benton Spaceship 40-B, with the built-in battery. It also provides USB power for the mixer and my wireless headphone adapter (not shown). When that's all working, I have only the cable from the bass in to the board and monitor through wireless headphones (TV type, not Bluetooth, so there's no lag).
