How Use Tonex Pedals in Amplitube

[divarsefid]

I was able to figure out how to open Tonex in Amplitube. I could not open Tonex Presets in Amplitube, but only the ones already are in there. So, when I save a preset in Tonex, it does not open in Amplitube, so you cannot add effects to it, which makes it almost useless.

The main problem is, when open a Tonex pedal in Amplitube, it sits at the site of the amplifier and the Amplitube does not allow you add an amplifier! Then how do you use a pedal in Amplitube without amplifier?

I’m wondering the same thing.

How do you open tonex in AmpliTube? It does not seem to let me download an IK set up from tonex either.

Currently if you'd like to insert a pedal before a TONEX Tone Model, you'll need to insert an instance of TONEX before AmpliTube 5 and open the stomp Tone Model there. In a future update coming for AmpliTube 5 we'll be adding a stomp slot for TONEX stomp Tone Models.

Click on the amp slot, scroll down to "other" and choose TONEX there.

Tricky. I went through same confusion. I figured out:
1) You Have To download/install the latest version of Amplitube. Without the latest version, you will not be able to access Tonex
2) Make sure you open Tonex at least once. Okay if to close it then.
3) Open the Amplitube.
4) In Amplitube, in the right panel, where different types of amps are selected, go to the very end, the Tonex is there as an option, just like an amplifier. Or, alternatively, in the small menu which is in the middle of the main screen of Amplitube and the name of the amplifier is written, go to that menu, at the end of the menu there is an option "other", go to "other" and Tonex is there. NOTE: You will NOT have Tonex in Amplitube unless you have installed the latest version of Amplitube

The Amplitube chain does NOT allow adding a Tonex instance in the chain anywhere else other than replacing the Amplitube's amp. So you HAVE TO replace Amplitube's amp with Tonex pedal. Is there a way around it??

He's saying that there will be an update that will allow a TONEX pedal to be inserted the same as an Amplitube pedal. It's really odd that we have the ability to capture single pedals, but no easy way to use them even in the TONEX standalone or plugin versions as well.

And I'm saying you need to open an instance of TONEX in front of your AmpliTube 5 in your DAW/host. For now.

And that only way to use a single pedal capture in TONEX is to open 2 instances of TONEX, one with the pedal, one with the amp...correct?

At this time yes. You'd want to either do that or use a Tone Model that has the stomp included.

Okay, I think I got it. Weird, but possible.
Basically, it means, in the DAW you open Tonex as an effect. Then, in the DAW, you open the Amplitube. So, this way, the signal goes through Tonex first and then into Amplitube.
Have to see how it may affect the sound realistically without noise or unwanted changes.

At any rate, it is important that IK Multimedia updates the Amplitube to allow Tonex pedals to be installed.

One other thing, it appears the changes we do to the tone in Tonex (using the panel above the screen) cannot be transferred to Amplitube. You can save the changed setting under your presets in Tonex, but that does not open in Amplitube. Is there a way around it? It is also something IK Multimedia to seriously consider to fix.

Thank you

Ok, I've loaded two instances of tonex in Gigperformer. First with a pedal through the second with the amp.
The thing is when you disable the pedal, there's no a clean signal through the amp, not true bypass. The sound gets coloured. You have to bypass the entire instance of tonex.
That's weird.
