warwickhunt Posted yesterday at 08:56 Share Posted yesterday at 08:56 Tonex experts... Can you answer please? Tonex ONE in stomp mode, is it running one of the amp modes in the background or is it purely acting as a single use pedal (when off it is bypassed)? Can't find the answer online.

It's the latter - bypassed, no amp model. If you want to switch between Amp and Amp+FX, you use Dual mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted yesterday at 09:50 Share Posted yesterday at 09:50 To clarify @bnt - you can set up slot/preset A to have an amp sim and a couple of effects and have slot/preset B to have an amp sim and different effect(s)? I essentially require 1 global amp tone/EQ and then I add either a bit of drive (for 3 songs) or a flanger (2 song). I don't think the Tonex will work for me as that is effectively 3 settings; clean / dirty / flanger. I'll end up having a preamp pedal (which I have a few of) before the Tonex and the Tonex would be set up with A = dirt / B = flanger. Not a one pedal solution. I've just bought a 2nd hand Zoom MS 60B (not the +) which 'probably' gives me what I need but it is not intuitive (at the moment) to set up, to fit my one pedal solution.

bnt Posted yesterday at 12:44 Share Posted yesterday at 12:44 A preset can contain as much or as little as you want: any combination of an amp, cab, modulation, delay etc. These are blocks that you can turn on or off, any combination works. An amp model can be anything amp-like e.g. it can be a full amp or a SansAmp, a fuzz pedal, whatever you have a model for or can capture. Then once a preset is saved, you drag it to one of three slots on the pedal: two for Dual (A/B) mode, the third for Stomp (on/off) mode. Here's a screenshot I just took: in A and B I have The Fridge with and without a Phaser. I put a B15 Rotary preset in the Stomp slot. All slots take full presets. There are loads of modelled devices from other users free on ToneNet in the amp. That's where I got the Ampeg B15 model, while The Fridge is a factory model.

bnt Posted yesterday at 12:56 Share Posted yesterday at 12:56 (edited) And here's a screenshot of the Home page where you edit Presets. In this example, Modulation is active while Delay and Reverb are off. If you click on Modulation you can set that up e.g. I'm using the Rotary effect on this preset. So the workflow is basically to create and edit presets in the app, then add them to the pedal. The app and pedal are supposed to sound identical, as long as you watch out for what I mentioned above: you can have your sound being processed by the pedal and the app at the same time, which doesn't sound right. You want either/or, not both. Edited yesterday at 12:56 by bnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted yesterday at 12:57 Share Posted yesterday at 12:57 That makes sense. Sadly it won't allow a 'clean' amp setting and then a dirty (crunch) setting and then a phaser/flanger setting for use in a set 'on the fly'. I can have 2 out of the 3 but not all 3.

bnt Posted yesterday at 13:02 Share Posted yesterday at 13:02 (edited) You can switch between Dual and Stomp modes on the pedal, to access the 3rd preset, but it's a bit of a faff: hold down ALT for 8 seconds, then turn the first knob. Not something I fancy doing between songs on a dark stage. However, on my pedalboard I can add a bit of crunch with another pedal e.g. my Mosky Silver Horse "Klone". PS I should mention that the pedal also has a tuner that uses the LEDs on the knobs. Very basic, but handy.

warwickhunt Posted yesterday at 13:05 Share Posted yesterday at 13:05 Mid gig, busy schedule, I'd not want to shuttle between modes! I can add pedals but I'm looking for a 1 pedal solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can add pedals but I'm looking for a 1 pedal solution. Maybe the ToneX Pedal version, then - the One is the little brother of that. Both handle the same presets, software etc., and it's a matter of form factor.. The single footswitch limits us to those two modes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted yesterday at 13:23 Share Posted yesterday at 13:23 Yeah it was the £118/£128 that was appealing to me initially. If I start looking at £300 I could buy a pair of Tonex ONE pedals... but my budget isn't stretching past £150. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted yesterday at 13:40 Share Posted yesterday at 13:40 Actually the original Tonex Pedal can be had for £250 which is a canny drop on what I recall the cost being on release! Looking at it though, I'd still need to run other pedals for phaser (+ my other part time band needs me to use an Octave & Chorus)... back to the drawing board!

Woodinblack Posted yesterday at 16:05 Share Posted yesterday at 16:05 Seems like a good idea for my mini pedalboard idea, so I got one, at £118 seems a very good deal if it is of use 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonular Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Debating one myself, can anyone weigh in on how this is as an audio interface (I don't have one and I'm in an either or situation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t tried it with Windows yet. But see my previous post for some incompatibility I found with iPads, which I believe is due to sample rates.
