So. How good is this thing? Do i need to buy one?
I'm going to get one of these eventually. I just have to. I could have it as a rig backup, studio tool, etc.
So can you play this into the clean channel of an amp with a cab?
It's still just a digital amp and all that comes with that. I rarely recommend gear but so far I like it.
There is 150 presets on the the pedal. Some of them sounded pretty impressive. There is over a 1000 models available from IK Multimedia. Over 6000 models available from users. That is just since September and growing fast.
There is people selling models but with all the free ones available I don't see it likely I would need to buy any.
Basically there is a ridiculous amount of options and sounds available.
It sounds more like a recording than the actual amp in many uses. Like with headphones. When using it with the Power Station and Orange 1x12 Vintage 30 cab it sounded like a amp. You can turn off the cabs globally on the ToneX Pedal. I picked up some headphones so I could check out the cabs in the unity and spent several hours with it yesterday. Checked out all the presets and started going through the models. Presets have the gate, reverb, eq, compressor. Models are the different captures are also inside the presets.
I have not used any of the software. I don't find the pedal difficult to navigate. Relatively easy with the manual.
About 45 of the models are just pedals. No amp or cab. These are obviously meant to be used in front of a amp. Only some of these are for a clean amp.
I will try some of the amp models with the front of a clean amp when I check out the pedal models. Maybe today.
There is just a lot of ways it can be used. Headphone practice rig, live with a amp, recording tool, etc. My drummer is currently in New Orleans I plan to use it to jam with him remotely on the internet.
I tried pretty much all the various digital rigs available made by everyone. This one sounds more like the actual amps in my experience.
I only have had it since Tuesday night. Let's see where I am at with it with more time.
