IK Multimedia ToneX One, anyone?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.  

 

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.

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!  LOL

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)


It performs very well as an interface to my Mac Mini, no issues there. 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.
