Anyone good at Tonex captures?

This is why it's real amps for me. I'd end up in a rubber room dealing with this nonsense. I almost bought an HX Stomp, but I can't deal with that which is supposed to be super easy, albeit not a capture device. Same with Kemper. There's great deals on used power heads, but I'd be in rabbit hole hell turning knobs, vs. playing. Even Fractals can be had cheaper, but, again, too many parameters and unnecessary nonsense. A great simple modeler would be a great invention. Maybe a dozen great amps, good cabs, basic modulation and super simple. It just doesn't seem to exist for old school dummies.
Buy a 1998 Line 6 Flextone, lol.

LOL. Those Flextone II HD heads actually sounded pretty good! Last time I saw Mercyful Fate live for their last album, "9", Mike Wead was using one. Killer show - Nevermore opened up..

I had a Flextone II 1X12 combo and floorboard back in about 2004, and it rocked! I think I paid $250 for it. If they brought back the Flextone simplicity with current Helix/Stadium modeling technology, they'd have a home run! I'd grab one.
 
@2dor and @dead-pan it seems like you guys have probably already made the captures i would want. Do you have modern ridiculously high gain captures? I really like the Amalgam stuff for a lot of my mixing and recording, but for the super high gain, it seems like they are a different flavor more based on older types of sounds. If you guys have ones made yourself please let me know which ones, hopefully in Tonex format and I'm happy to buy them

All of mine that are commercial can be tried free in the app under the partner section.

If you haven't found the partner section yet click Tonex in the top right, then collections and then Partners.

Scroll down to Live Ready Sound.

Of course we have many free captures also that can be found by searching LRS.

I only have a few ToneX ones published on Tone.net. They're pretty high-gain and you can grab them whenever you want.

The ones I did with NAM cover a decent amount of ground, depending on the amp, from clean (or cleanish) to br00tz.

There are a few more at the Tone3000 link in my signature but these ought to cover the bulk of it.

All my profiles have the "calibration metadata" which is awesome because profiles loaded on different setups can react / feel / sound the same as on my own. In case you want to try these out, here's how you can leverage that info:

- TLDR at 08:15 if you just want to get going; the rest of vid might give more context though -

Do you know if there is a way to do this in Tonex Editor? I'm still trying to find my way around it. In some wayvs it honestly seems worse than before we had it and just had the single tonex app

Just checked the Tonex Editor and could not find a way to demo the paid packs, unfortunately.

Seems it would need to be done in the main Tonex software. And after purchase they would be in your library and available in the Editor.

As far as I can remember, there is no way of demoing the paid packs. Even in the main software. I wish, too, it was possible as I'd like just to try out the EVH ones.

Here are my captures in the software:

If I didn't have a license for them, they would look like this:

You can click on the pack name and demo them for as long as you like with intermittent static. Or, you can click try and test them for 30 minutes without.
 
It doesn't seem to let you audition in the pedal though, in place and in the chain...of course its also my fault for not calibrating my plugin to my pedal, which i really really need to do

Calibration can definitely change things. My captures are calibtrated for 12dbu of input. I think the Tonex One is 8dbu? So even with the input trim set to 0 it would be running the captures hot with the gain set to 5.
