TONEX pedal backing track in live mode

Postby paturzo » Wed Mar 05, 2025 9:52 am

Hello,
I would like to use TONEX pedal with a small Windows tablet that has no enough power to do any audio processing and even with ASIO driver latency would be too high so I would like to keep the TONEX pedal il LIVE mode in order to have responsiveness for the guitar processed signal but need to play a backing track from PC at the same: is it possible to send it via USB recognizing the pedal as an audio out interface (ASIO are not needed and a standard driver could be enough, in this case latency will not be an issue since I need only an output channel and no inputs since there’s no need to record or process). It seems that the little brother TONEX one has the ability (in documentation is cited the “play along” feature that doesn’t require to put the pedal in “interface mode/disabling the direct monitor” and this seems to be possible with smartphones as well) and it would be curious if it has an option not supported by its bigger brother.

Many thanks, regards

Simplifying and making a long story short: I need to play along a track sent from my Win PC and I absolutely don’t want to route the guitar signal outside the Tonex pedal (so I should keep it in live mode, not in interface mode). Is that possible?

Thx

I already bought many IK interfaces and TONEX software too so, if I’ll buy the TONEX pedal is to avoid guitar processing on computer with latency and buffer size pains: it is so sad that just needing to play a backing track through the pedal (without additional audio interferences, etc) one is forced to use the pedal as a simple interface having to deal again with buffer size and latency (things not mandatory to deal with when just outputting a base track without need to record the guitar, think for example at Bluetooth that has very high latency but without this being a problem when watching a movie with Bluetooth earphones).
