Tonex Pedal

[IKmarco]

I think people who bought Tonex Max are going to be well fed up that the Pedal includes it, meaning they’ve bought it twice. Will there be any discount or upgrade path?

They are offering a $100 discount in my cart. I do have ToneX Max already. Another thing is that this should have an FX Loop. I am surprised it doesnt.

Missing FX loop keeps me off to press the buy button Maybe thousands of potential customers are disappointed.
I think FX loop would get the pedal to dominate pedalboards instantly. Now not! It was just a small extra cost for r&d and production.

Another missing killer feature is that one audio out should optionally bypass the cab sim, in order to go to a power amp / return for live cab monitoring. Maybe this will come in a firmware update(!!!!! pls)

Thanks for the heads up

Since TONEX Pedal is not a multifx it does not have an effects loop - it would be placed on a pedalboard with the appropriate types of other pedals placed before (boost, drive, etc) or after (time-based, modulation etc) after.

Can I confirm, the USB connector is only used to access the TX librarian to manage presets and to use it as audio interface. It is *not* powered via the USB interface, correct? So you will still need to keep it plugged into a power supply wall adapter all the time in order to the the interface.

I am not sure that makes sense. If it's supposed to replace an amp why not have an effects loop. If it's not a multi-fx then shouldn't it have an effects loop? If it's a multi-effects unit I would give it a pass. Maybe I am wrong?

But I don't think it's an effect's unit. It seems like a profiler unit to me. As per manual.

A STOMP can’t be a time-based or phase-based pedal such as: compressor, reverb, delay, chorus, phaser,
flanger, etc...

Also some vintage fuzzes and overdrives that have parallel paths inside can’t be modeled.

It is not a typical multifx unit. You would put certain pedals before the amp, certain pedals after. It is meant to sit nicely in a pedalboard.

If no FX loop, then why even include Reverbs in the unit, as time based effects would need to go before them.

This. It is exactly as I want it to be. For me the plate reverb is perfect and the compressor is
tops. If I want modulations or stomps I'll use it either with an amp plus stomp capture
or put an actual stomp in front of it. This tonex stomp is the best idea ever.

Pedals that would normally go in an FX loop sound better after a cab sim anyway so the need for an FX loop carries no weight.

Edit: Serious question, what is the point of the stereo out. What part of the Tonex stomp utilizes it. I would really like to be able to load custom left and right IRs but I don’t see anything in the documentation showing that it is possible (please tell me it’s possible!).

Best Leslie sim there is (Better than a real Leslie IMHO) is a 1980's era Arion SC-1 Stereo chorus
plugged into two power amps from the stereo outs. There's a lot of efx pedals that have two ins and two outs.

But if the stereo out on the Tonex pedal is just the same mono signal, that’s just a Y splitter and not indicative of any true stereo functions.. I want to know if something actually utilizes the stereo out on the pedal itself.

Having an fx loop would be pointless as you'd be inserting fx loop effects after the amp processing anyway.
