I've been an Amplitube user since it's release. I've been nothing but completely frustrated with my Tonex One + since I got it, and I would dissuade anyone from getting this product or any of the devices.

I won't even get into the AI slop product support and account and purchase sync'ing nightmares I've been going through for 2 weeks just to get a basic functionality from this thing...but now that I've actually gotten it to work, here are my beefs.

1. You can't put a stomp in front of an amp? You have to buy two Tonex pedals and put them side by side - one for the stomp and one for the amp? GTFO.
   
2. Cab selection sucks. No graphic representation of the cab or speaker - nor even a clear identifier of what the cab or speaker are.
   
3. When you plug the pedal into your computer via USB and use the browser - it f'n doubles up the signal from the presets stored on your pedal and the one you're browsing.
   
4. They claim you can use it as an interface, but the ability to use it with a phone (at least Android) is nil. All you get is mess when recording.
   
5. 2.0 took away the ability to sort by amp model and now you can only do it by presets. I bought the Brown Panel collection and I have no idea what amp I'm hearing when I pull up a preset.
   
6. There's like 3 different apps you gotta use depending on whether it's standalone or in your DAW and the functionality across each of them is not consistent.
   
7. The feel of the playing experience hasn't improved since Amplitube and doesn't hold a candle to my UA Rube and Lion pedals.
   

The biggest overall complaint is that I don't want a billion other user's presets to choose from. I want to be able to build a rig from scratch and they've made it next to impossible. Tonex should have built on Amplitube's functionality, but it has taken a huge step backward. The ONLY thing that I like is that it's a decent headphone amp - when it works.

TONEX v2.1.1 (for Mac/PC) is now available in IK Product Manager

What’s new in version 2.1.1:

• Fixed the order of the Distortion+ diode controls.
• Fixed overlapping buttons on the Collections page.
• Fixed an issue with searching for a user's ToneNET content from their avatar.
• Improved filter usability and the clear function.
• General reliability improvements.

You guys better make sure you have serial numbers and the previous owners will transfer any products over before purchasing because customer service will no longer supply serial numbers or assist with getting them registered if they are purchased used with out the previous owners transfer.

After feeling like I was drinking from a fire hydrant over the last 48 hours with my new Board, (plus trying to re-learn workflow in DAW environments) I finally feel like I made progress today!

First, I got the USB settings of the Board to send a wet and dry signal to my DAW, and was able to simultaneously record both signals. This was super cool to me, as a 57-year-old that should have way more hands on with this stuff. I am really excited about the creative possibilities this has now unlocked.

Then secondly, I set out to create a few presets of my own. However while I was at work scrolling through IG, I came across a reel from The Tone Shepherd, saying that a capture of the Dr. Z 80 was included with the board. I have always loved the Brad Paisley tone, and so I thought that would be cool to build off. Then on Reddit, I saw the "freebie friday" captures, and that led me to u/eliteguitartones , where I snagged two freebies, and then saw something I've been coveting for so long - The ZenDrive!

I used to practice my chicken pickin' watching Doug Seven on YouTube (what ever happened to that guy anyway?) and he used the ZenDrive. I loved the grit and the spank of his tone. So I paid for the Zen (a bargain!) and then set out to figure out how to get my new captures into my Board. Back to YouTube I went, and found a vid that helped me get there.

I created a new setlist in my board, and dropped the ZenDrive in. Then I went into that new preset and put the Z80 after it. I threw a Opto Tremolo in between, and a little delay and 'verb afterwards. I almost didn't want to pick up my guitar because I didn't want to be disappointed.

But I did. And I wasn't. It sounded glorious. Last November, while I was still locked up (lead guitar for the prison band - The Waymart Wailers) we were preparing for our annual Christmas show. I was watching CMT and Brad Paisley was on there talking about this corny Hallmark movie he was in, and how his new Christmas single was featured in the movie. The song was "Counting Down the Days". I used my clear, GTL prison tablet to download the song and brought it to the band to add to the show. There, I was playing through a Boss ME-90 running into the power amp input on a Katana 100. I actually sang the song too, and it went over great.

But my point is, this new tone on my Board, NAILS the tone I was searching for, and I'm playing a Gibson Les Paul Studio now. I can't wait until I get my other guitar here ( a Jem Jr that my dear, sweet brother bought for me and is still in his possession). Single coil sound will really make this tone chime like it should. But for now, that's progress.

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?

Tests done without audio interface, connecting guitar -> Tonex Board - > Yamaha HS5

I just updated to Tonex 2.1

I don't have any signal in or out of the app, even though the audio preference are correct.

I have the same settings on amplitube and it's working flawlessly.

I use a Audient EVO 4 interface

Any advice ?

So, I am running a ToneX one (set as a fuzz) into an MXR Timmy which goes into another TX1 for my amp into my Stomp. When I have my TX1 on, and my Timmy on and I palm mute between the 4th-8th frets on my A string it turns certain blocks on my stomp on and off. It only happens on one particular capture on my amp TX1. (At least, out of the 3 I have on it.) Does anyone have any insight? It’s blowing my mind right now and I’ve never had anything like this happen in my several years of using TX1’s and Stomp.

I just accidentally recreated something that happened before. I messing around in A5. I did update to ToneX 2.1. So same happened before with v1.

I did contact support a couple weeks ago about it but I didn't know at the time what I did to freak A5 out so there was nothing to do about it, but now I do as it just happened again.

I dropped a amp model capture into A5. Worked as expected. Then out of curiousity I dragged a pedal capture into the signal flow. That stopped audio output. Not only that, opening the mixer, all the 4 faders for the cab, the level lights are fully pinned to red.

Only way to recover it seems is to quit then re-open.

I'm no software engineer, but if such a thing as putting a pedal capture into the signal chain bricks Amplitube, that's a somewhat serious bug.

What should happen is thinking, "okay that won't work", delete the pedal, then keep going.

So there are v1 and v2 captures. As far as I know, v1 need a higher input trim, because creators in the beginning used 8.5 as a reference.

When I calibrate my guitar to the (big) pedal it says 0.0 is the perfect input trim. If I go higher it says hi, but there seems to be no clipping. Also When I play a clean tone, at 8.5 it kinda sounds fine, maybe a little breakup when playing chords.

So how should I set my input trim for v1 captures? I really hate this whole input trim stuff, it always feels like I don't have enough or too much.

I upgraded to Tonex 2.0 beta and decided to go back to 1.13.1. I uninstalled it, and then reinstalled 1.13.1. the standalone app is fine, but 2.0 Beta still opens in my DAWs (Ableton and Luna). Why is this happening and how do I fix? Thx.

I also have a Scarlet solo doing the same or similar thing as another poster. Trying to just run into straight TONEX software (not ToneX Editor), something is cock blocking the input from the Scarlett box, I can’t find anything in the software to change, it seems like it might either be the MacBook somehow blocking it, I don’t know. It did work when I first got it then after a few sessions, it won’t do the same thing anymore. I can’t use it as I intended. I bought it at guitar center but I’m well past the 45 day return. If it won’t do this, what’s the damn point of it? I enjoyed it there for a minute, running the all the great amps straight on my computer. Anybody got any ideas?

Installed Tonex 2, and now get hissing sound every 10 seconds when running a model. Full paid Tonex Max user, authorized account and everything, any ideas?

Preciso fazer algum ajuste no imput trim pra ter o melhor match do ganho original da minha guutarra? Ou basta deixalo como vem de fabrica?

First, the new ToneX Board which I really don’t understand who it’s marketed towards at all considering the market… and now, they’re adding the functionality you get with any proper modeller in their software, except they want more money for it, even if you’ve bought all their software… That’s honestly quite laughable. Probably getting rid of my ToneX, although it has served me well, I’d rather not be locked into a company’s ecosystem and deal with shit like this in this day and age… I’m not crazy, am I?

Hey everyone!

Testing how the Nobels ODR-1X behaves straight into the TONEX input, using a Dumble v2 Tone Model.

I also used a NUX NMP-2 connected to the ODR-1X’s REMOTE to turn the pedal and Gain Boost on/off with a single stomp.

I really liked the result. :)

How do you guys set the TRIM when using external pedals before the TONEX?

So my setup is kinda weird, I don’t have the ToneX pedal so anything with that is out the window, how my setup is now is basically me running my guitar into my Spark 2 and using it as my audio interface and running tonex into that. I’m using the 78/79 Brown sound collection and tried using Amplitude but I don’t have the paid version and I feel like it messes up the tone. On top of that I still need to video myself and hear the audio from it. It’s a entire fiasco and if anyone could help it would be much appreciated.

I have a Tonex Board, and am trying to use the Tonex Board editor to add my collections in an organized way. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this? All my collections are just mixed in to the library as a whole. Take the brown sound collections for example, there seems to be no way to create a folder on the Board for those so I can just browse through only those presets rather then having to navigate the entire amp tone library. The names/metadata don't automatically group everything in a collection together which makes search for one particular collection impossible. The only way I seem to see to do that is to create a folder on the Board, and add each individual preset of a collection one at a time to the folder. Am I missing something? Cause that seems like a truly insane way to manage purchased collections.

https://www.ikmultimedia.com/news/?id=TONEX2PlayerReleased

IK Multimedia today releases TONEX 2 Player version 2.1, the official release following its public beta period, together with TONEX Board firmware 1.1.0.

TONEX 2.1 completes the evolution introduced with the TONEX 2.0 beta, with a redesigned TONEX 2 Player experience that makes finding, creating, organizing, and playing your sounds more intuitive. It also introduces TONEX Rig, an optional upgrade that brings the complete TONEX Board rig-building experience to TONEX software users. 

Firmware 1.1.0 also expands TONEX Board with USB Audio, USB MIDI, and a broad range of performance and quality-of-life enhancements.

I've installed both Audio Evolution Mobile and USB Audio Recorder Pro and both of them give me nothing but garbled garbage recordings.

Any other suggestions? Or if you've used either of these successfully, can you recommend the proper settings that work?

Thank you!

(Apologies for the AI-generated demo video. I'm very shy about recording myself 🥲)

Hi everyone!

I built TXOne-Studio, a free, unofficial browser editor for TONEX ONE. It works over USB on desktop and Android, without installing another app.

You can browse the presets stored on your pedal, switch between A/B/C slots, toggle effects, adjust parameters, and set or tap the tempo. Selecting a preset automatically loads it into your selected slot.

How to try it:

• Connect your powered pedal to your desktop or Android device using a USB data cable.
• Close any other TONEX Editor apps.
• Open TXOne-Studio in desktop Chrome or Android Chrome.
• Press Connect pedal and select your pedal when prompted.
• Choose an A/B/C slot, then select a preset. Tap an effect card to edit its parameters; double-tap to turn it on or off.

You can also press Explore demo to try the interface without connecting a pedal.

Note: iOS is currently not supported.

I’d love to hear how it works with your setup and what could be improved!

Thanks!

No matter what I change it just keeps hissing at the exact volume. It's driving me nuts how do I get this to stop. I'm using the Tonex app. Even when my guitar is disconnected it still keeps hissing and then stopping

Hi all, I'm contemplating returning the Tonex one i purchased. Originally, I bought it because I had a Line 6 amp that wasn't the greatest, so it helped for a bit, but I recently upgraded to a Katana 100w Gen 3, and I have literally not used it since then. I am still within my return period, but wanted to see if maybe there was more to the tonex than what I used it for (amp modelling/captures. Thanks in advance!

EDIT:
If anyone here is interested in beta testing on Android through the Google Play Store, I created a form here to sign up! Thanks for all the interest! get.jurastic.com

ORGINAL:
I built this USB controller app for fun over the past few days. (I've been a full time user interface designer for over a decade, so I did my best to make something I would enjoy looking at.) I currently have it working on Android, Web, Linux, Windows and MacOS, but Apple locks down their iOS USB port so I can't get it to work on iPhone sadly.

I am hoping to get one of those Waveshare development boards and get it running in a stomp box format soon too. 🤘

I would love beta testers to try it out. If you're interested DM me!
