For home use, do you see any benefit from this cab over just your studio monitors? Seems great for a player who wants to use modellers live, but I'm struggling to justify my desire to purchase this thing for home use when my monitors work just fine….just hard to shake the GAS lol
Since ToneX Cab is pricing itself at the upper echelon of FRFR cabs I wonder why I never see any comparisons with the Atomic CLR, the Fractal Red Sound MF10 or MF12, or the Laney LFR-112?
Kindly compare a FRFR cab with this little box TONEX when connected to Fractal FM9 or Axe-Fxe, it would be greatly appreciated.
What do you think about this FRFR vs the Fender FR cabs?
All your reviews are great..but one thing nobody is doing (you being Lonely..are the exception) is taking it to a gig..where it most likely will be used. I guess I will have to do it
My laney lfr 112 is still amazing and sounds perfect, just bought second one and now i have small stereo rig , (£800 for two lfr112) so tonex cab looks nice sounds ok but do i need it? No,
Great job man for a good quality recording, enjoying your reviews
Why not go for a high end PA speaker like Yamaha DZR10 or 12. They are also FRFR and have better components with 7 year warranty.
Settings sound great! This is a cool little cab for the Tonex. Easily to lug around for shows and sounds cool. Now we need a bass tone video!
Finaly someone who capture the real tone of this cab. I have a Yamaha DBR10 and in the room sounds way better than other demos of Tonex Cab. But now i have a good ideia of how it sounds in the room. Thanks man!
Excellent!
Would love to see it used with both Helix and Fractal systems as that's what I have!
Cheers.
How loud is it? Most frfr cabs are not very loud especially in a band setting for practice.
i"d like to hear it with the strymon iridium.
Looking forward to hearing a Fractal product through it. Your choice.
A comparison between the new ToneX cab and the Fender Tone Master FRFR cab is what's needed. Clearly those are the two best.
I think the stuff from Red Sound is much more professionally suited.
Not my kind of product but I must say that IK did a great job with this! Cool video man!
This or fr12?
Yes. A comparison with the Fender FR12 would be great.
???? love it!
Wonder how this will compare to the fender FR12?
