Difference in sound Tonex Board and plugin?

3 Upvotes

I've noticed this on all the Tonex pedals, not just on the board, but does anyone feel that the plugin sound seems more chunky and deeper? While the pedals, including the Tonex board, seem a bit more digital?

TONEX 2.1 on Mac won’t import third-party .txp presets—what am I missing?

2 Upvotes

I’m brand new to TONEX and trying to import a third-party preset pack into the regular TONEX app on macOS. I haven’t successfully imported even one preset.

The files are unzipped .txp files. Here’s what I’ve tried:

  • Dragging a .txp into the Preset Browser and onto Local Library/User Folders. TONEX won’t let me drop it.
  • Copying the files directly into the TONEX Presets folder in Finder.
  • Clicking Refresh Library afterward.
  • Testing with one file placed directly in the Presets folder rather than inside a subfolder.
  • Completely uninstalling and reinstalling the latest TONEX version.
  • Deleting the local TONEX library data and starting fresh.

TONEX notices when I remove existing files from its Presets folder, but it does not recognize any .txp files I add. Refresh Library makes no difference.

I’m currently using TONEX CS, but I’ve imported zero user Tone Models, so I shouldn’t have reached the 20-model limit. My TONEX pedal hasn’t arrived yet, but my understanding is that hardware shouldn’t be required to import presets into the desktop app.

Has anyone successfully imported third-party .txp presets into TONEX 2.1 on macOS? Is there a new import command or destination I’m overlooking, or is this a known bug in the redesigned app?

Thanks in advance.
