ToneX Pedal White Limited Anniversary Edition

Fantastic bit of kit. I sold my black Tonex and switched to Helix, immediately regretting it so I got the Anniversary edition for similar money to the original black one and the included presets sound great. If it's in the same ballpark money wise as the original al black one don't hesitate. If it's quite a bit more expensive get the black one and buy some of tones yourself. I have my ultimate rig now. Helix floor for effects and tonex for guitar tones. Unbeatable combo

Virtual IR amps have finally gotten good enough to use in public performance/studio/practice, sound good, and be cheap enough for the gigging musician. That said, if you are an old-school knob-turning guitarist, it'll take you a while to master this technology. I REALLY like the flexibility of the different effects, amp profiles, MIDI/expression-pedal switching; being able to run with an amp that won't 'break your back' carting it around, and won't 'break the bank.' And even be able to run through the PA. Be advised, you'll need to understand mixing, gain-staging, etc to 'capture' your favorite amp profile... but it's 'doable'. I'm impressed. -Therm, of thermionic-sound

This thing is hard to use, takes forever to learn, the interface is terrible, and it will likely break your computer like it did mine. But this is by far the best sounding guitar amp modeler ever made. I have all other modelers and its not close. However, those modelers like the GT 1000, HX stomp, Universal Lion 68, and many more all work flawlessly and have natural intuitive interfaces. The Tonex is frustrating to use, tweak, edit, save and organize presets and models. So bad that it takes away from the enjoyment of playing. But it just sounds so good. If literally all you care about is tone, and getting the best guitar amp tones ever made available, get the Tonex and be ready for the headaches. If you don't mind compromising on sound for easier and more stable use, get one of the others. Also, I have both the original and anniversary white editions. It is worth the extra price for the anniversary presets.

I was just going for a simple pedal that I can use live and for personal practice and I was debating whether I should get this or not , since the main purpose and function I believe is to capture Amps sounds and share them not as a pedal to use but I decided to get it and try it I just got this special anniversary white color one ( love the color!) and I love this The settings and working around will take you a day maybe but you will get it and once you get it it’s pretty simple ,the presets sound is great and not much tweaking needed , one thing is useful put the main volume to max so you don’t have to adjust that then make sure the model volume is set to lower than 5 ( depending on the characteristics ( clean , drive , high gain ..) and save To make sure the volume is level on all the presets. And using it with the software is easy , you can load up your presets to the pedal on librarian section , it already comes with 150 presets but you can switch things around ( easy operation of drag ) And yes as all the reviews probably have , it’s noisy But the noise gate is useful on the presets that are noisy. Overall it’s great .

I have to confess that I almost returned it because at first the sound was not good but when I understood well how to adjust it the sound is impressive. You can literally get the sound you want. 100% recommended.

Love it!
