In the last 15 years, amp modellers have consistently been perfect, that is until a better modeller was introduced a few years later ????
Another tier of knob twiddling and programming more presets. No thank you.
Hi Paul.
Does it handle a bass rig for a live show?
Thanks
350 W RMS !!????
699$ ???? I keep my ps cab 299$ for now ???? (home use only)
I have just acquired a Boss Katana Artist 100 C0mbo Gen 3 and am blown away on how good it is. I think I would prefer get a 2nd artist than this speaker given its pricey at $699. It needs to be $499 max ????
Modelers tend to sound too Hifi, and high Cuts are often necessary to control high frequencies and Presence for playing enjoyment, particularly when playing through Studio Monitoring Headphones. Smart move by IK Multimedia ToneX to help get good live tones for gigs.
Such bullshit !!!
Let me guess . You find it amazing ! ????
Fucks frfr?
Sounds great, but it looks entry level build for that money.
Im looking for a smallish stereo frfr that sounds wide. Im currently using a Fender TMP into the aux input of a Spark 2, it works fine, id just like it more immersive.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Can you use this with the guitar plugged straight in without a pedal?
❤ thx Paul
I have been using a modeling amp (the first one ever made) live through FOH since 1999. The reason most people think that tube amps sound better is because that concept has been pounded into their heads.
Why don't they just do a full blown amp head & combo to compete with the boss katana / artist instead of this rubbish. Bahhhhhh
No line out??
Yeah, not sure. I bought a Line 6 Catalyst CX100 recently and super happy with it. Much better value than an FRFR as it I can use it as a grab 'n' go as is with some excellent customtones loaded, with my full pedalboard as a normal amp, or with my Tonex in the power amp in. I'm really impressed and relatively cheap here in NZ. The Tonex Cab looks great though, but yeah!
I consider all of these videos as just marketing hype until I at least here a side by side A/B comparison where:
1) There's at least two wide frequency mics setup in the room to record
2) You setup a real vintage mid gain amp like a Hand Wired 57 custom deluxe and record yourself playing a specific song or two
3) Profile JUST the amplifier alone and pair it with the equivalent IR and compare A/B against the real deal WITHOUT doing ANY EQ on either TONEX or TONEX cab. You can adjust the TONE knob but not the 3 band EQ.
4) do the same thing but this time capture the full amp/cab profile and compare A/B… again flat EQ.
The key here is there being little to no need to make much EQ adjustments to get that tone you hear in the room with the real cab. Then, when you go to play, you'd hopefully only need to make minor EQ adjustments on the TONEX Cab in a global way across all your presets to adjust for the new environment.
If this sounds and feels VERY close in the same room, then I'd believe the hype more. Until that happens I'll wait until someone does. Shouldn't be that hard. Maybe you'll beat Jason S to it?
Love your presets on my Tonex anniversary pedal. Tonex is killing it. Disruptive tech.
Why not just use an amp? Lol
Guys i buy Only blue guitars and blue tolex amps. It works with wifey. At 72, still works.
Sounds good in your video. Tone Junkies video sounded wrong.
Any FRFR speakers that's not class AB amplifier then it's not good enough!
Holy smokes that does sound good!!!
Katana is still my fav option if I should carry weight. Great sound, deeply customizable and for the half of this price. If I connect a Headrush Frfr to the line out Im in a blast when playing bot clean and distorted. Don't get the point of buying a 800€ cab and a simulator that rounds the thing for more than 1000€ and doesn't represent a real improvement in the sound quality. Im not runting, just sharing my opinion after owning a Headrush Giboard, a Neural DSP, AXE FX II, Kemper and a Tech 21 fly rig. After all, my favorite is the katana on the go. Put on the stage and melt faces even with another guitar with a loud valve amp competing in the mix for mid empire of terror.
Love your content, as always, bro's ❤
