- In today's video, Paul Drew and James Ivey are checking out the brand new pedal from IK Multimedia TONEX ONE. This fully featured Amp capture/ play back pedal is everything you need for great guitar tone from studio to stage!
Here is what IK Multimedia say about TONEX ONE
TONEX One delivers the same cutting-edge amp, cab, and pedal tones as TONEX Pedal, but in a pocket-sized, streamlined device.
TONEX One can replace any amp, boost, overdrive, distortion, or fuzz pedal, and its small size allows it to fit anywhere on any pedalboard. And with adjustable knob colours, any artist can afford to stack and configure as many independent effects as they need and easily tell them apart on stage.
With the world's best tones taking up half the size of a traditional stomp pedal, there's no limit to what a pedalboard can do.

Honestly, if they also release a "ToneX Plus" or something with extra effects on board, IK have basically won the profiling game.
Exactly! It still sounds like a half cooked HX stomp, captured por not. I don't care about marketing, I am the user and the potentially misled buyer
I have IK’s X-Time delay pedal on my board next to my ToneX. I keep wondering how hard it would be for them to just jam that delay pedal into slightly bigger ToneX box.
except it sounds like shit?
Agree absolutely, the One is not a game changer as mentioned. Everything is already included in the pedal, the One has just limited functionality (ports) and a reduced size. And without a MIDI port you can only change it´s model by pressing a button manually while the pedal can be changed with MIDI. In this combination useless
When Jivey breaks his own rule and says gamechanger, it must be something special!
Amazed they’ve crammed so much into such a small package!
REALLY well thought out product! Great job IK!
IK is absolutely killing it lately. I love my ToneX. This unit would be perfect for my tiny practice setup. The stereo feature is the one thing I wanted and they included it.
This thing sounds great considering the size and price! Probably a waste of time to mention this but I really wish people would just stop with the whining in gear video comments. We are all lucky to be able to have such choices as guitar players right now. Maybe just don’t buy it if you don’t like it. Maybe for some people this device is just affordable enough to give people a chance for something that is a step up from what they have or maybe it inspires someone because they do like some of the tones it offers?!?! Try playing guitar instead of negativity and you might be surprised at how much happier you actually are for it.
I already ordered one! Great demo
Nice video demo and playing - thanks
Cheers Peter
What an awesome product…..I need one!!!
I need these sounds! incredible!
Super cool that it takes all the standard tonex models and captures. I think they went out of their way to make it super small, as if it were standard pedal size we'd be just as impressed.
Nice user interface decision to have the three LED’s change from red to green when switching presets. Heck, all of the user interfacing stuff is well thought out. Might appeal to luddites!
Yessss! I want to run this into my OX Stomp for recording and to run into my Friedman live.
Take my money now 😁
Great video!
I just want one Tone X model that absolutely nails the EVHII tone. PLEASE!!!
Can you guys do captures of some Sunn and Matamp amps?? They are quite lacking in the ToneX ecosystem.
Very cool. Amazing they fit so much in so small a footprint, and a reasonable price.
It's almost too clever though - I wonder how many iterations the design went through, and what a standard size pedal format would have looked like.
It seems like they could have worked out a little less fiddling about with changing modes to make the knobs do different things, and having to remember what color/pattern of light means what.
Looks like a banger! If you got 2 you could put your 2 fav drives in one and your 2 fav amp channels in the other …… BOOM!
I have the full fat Tonex pedal run in the effects loop of the Boss GT1000 core... and its absolutly awesome. Small light weight pedalboard that does everything I could ever need, and to top it off I control the Tonex via midi from the Gt1000, select the patch on the boss the Tonex switches instanly to the corresponding patch. Thats the only thing that seems to be missing from this new offering. Honestly give it a go, and if your still not sure check out the Tim Pearce video on the big Tonex!
incredible...to hear the sound you use monitors or frff?
Awesome video. The only improvement that I would surely welcome is a gate with downward extention multiband denoising- like the Bertom denoiser. Some of the high-gain Tone models are quiet with the current gate when not playing, but tend to allow a lot of noise and hiss through while playing. I've found the Bertom denoiser ridiculously helpful for in DAW studio recording, but when I play live with Tonex pedal I find room for improvement. Helix has a better gate imo. Outside of this aspect, Tonex is king!
This right here is being peddled by every single CZcamsr right now, which tells me that all of these guitarists are not guitarists anymore but salesmen now!
It might sound outrageous to some but ....Leonardo da Vinci was born in Italy and so many others excellent subjects....like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati all of which by coincidence are born in the same area (Modena) .....where IK Multimedia is from 🙂
I Agree but Leonardo is from us, in Tuscany :D
@@giacomocastellano-official True and correct but he was only taken as simple example of how our land can be generous when geniuses are involved. Don't be too reductive ..otherwise others might join you complaining about their own geographic share too 🙂
@@giancarlopaolini7529 yes I was joking :)
Ok, wait a minute, are placing DaVinci, Ferrari and IK in the same category?? 😂😂 Less, please. They are good, but cmon... 😂😂
Ma siete italiani che cazzo parlate in inglese tra di voi? 😁😁😁
The cheapest way into the ecosystem for me was the AXE/IO. It came with Tonex SE, but I did spring for the Dumble pack. I'm usually running it with my iPad and L/R out into my studio monitors. Everyone's tastes are different, but I've settled into a few captures on top of the Dumbles that I love, and whose dynamics and realism blows me away. Otherwise, it's an extraordinary rabbit hole of auditioning captures and not really playing. I can see real merit in this for a gigging musician, which I am not.
Yes, and if you're recording, you can have a handful om amp models and have a lot of versatility.
I'm considering fitting this lovely little thing into the body of my guitar and putting the stomp switch in a covenant place where I can stomp it on my hip, any excuse to get the solder iron out. Wish me Luck:)
Wow this is incredible, the form factor, ease of use and price. To be honest, for those of us who don't want to be tweaking knobs forever and just play with a good tone, it is perfect.
Its the software technology in a tiny pedal!
I owned a tonex… wish this one came along way sooner.. like you i just want to play with great tones. Which tonex does deliver
@@Joejoe-nt3gc So I'm really interested in how you see the functionality.
As soon as I saw a computer required and no midi I assumed it's live capability was compromised.
OK I guess if you just want 2 amps.
@@roscius6204 the computer is only being use to download the preset.. once its in the pedal.. then it just acts a like a player of sort.
@@Joejoe-nt3gc True however switching between different amps & cabs with no display (no lights are not a display) & using the tiny knobs does not make this a good live pedal. They should have made it slightly larger & included at least a digital display that could show which "patch" you were on. So really the larger pedal is the better option, has a large display, has midi, has large knobs to tweak things & of course has the full suite of software, all for $150 more.
@@triax7006 i have to agree…😊
I think the TONEX plugins are great, specially the fact that you can bring in a Klon or any other pedal into your signal chain and now that it is available in a pedal platform. Specially for the conventional pedal platform people it will be great!! Unfortunately I have moved “away” from the traditional pedal platform and use their plugins extensively in their Amplitube software. I will soon release a video of my live setup using Amplitube with three different Amps in one preset and switching between them seamlessly - Bogner clean, Marshall overdriven and then Hi-gain Soldano (obviously you can select whatever amp combinations) for an ultimate live setup! Each one having their own sets of pedals in front and then also in their fx loop and then rack/pedal fx in the master bus!! All I use is a midi foot controller with 8 x buttons and two expression pedals (digital) ..can do almost any rig live with this setup !!
Pretty interesting pedal. Not sure I'm interested in their ecosystem but something similar for NAM would be cool.
@TheStudioRats question with Tonex SE can I buy and load your tone models?
Massive game changer tbh
Would this work for someone like me, who plays electric guitar fleetingly, and unplugged, but thinks about the whole subject for at least a couple of hours of every day?
I finally got mine, it's really good and super tiny! My only complaint is the software, it does take a bit to learn how to get around. I mainly tested against my line 6 HX stomp, the amp captures are so much more dynamic. Super great guitar tool
Hi! When you say amps, do you guys mean amp+cab? Thanks.
Hi, would this be of any use to me? I have no knowledge of capturing or anything like that, i just want something straight forward that sounds good going direct to PA and I can cycle through 3 different sounds without much set up. Can it be used straight out of the box?
So glad I sold my big TONEX already. Might give these a shot. Hated the size of the original unit
ik multimedia said hold my beer and shot glasses.
Just when I was debating myself between buying a ToneX or a Boss IR-2 this one comes to the game.
Lucky b-tard! :D
I’d get the Tonex it’s smaller and has more amps
You need presence control imo. Tonex
Heck, at this price get both. IR2 is pretty cool on its own
@@marcusbarrett9024but many of them are based on specific setups that the other user may not have.
OK: great gizmo, but the iPad version is the smallest I will go to for Tonex. Push 6 sec on the switch, x-options and colours for the mini blinking buttons, no display means headache to me... As good as it might sound, it's just too small for packing so many options. Yes, you can dial everything on your pad/computer and load it in the pedal, but still I am curious to see a review after several months of use. Cheers guys
I understand the excitement. But does it really do exactly the same as the bigger ToneX pedal? As examples, does it do stereo output, is it midi and does it come with ToneX Max software? These maybe reasons someone might think the bigger pedal is actually better value.
The Tone X software included is only a lite version, the Tone X larger pedal has the full software suite. If say the larger pedal was $400 more then yes this might be viable, but as it is only $150 more the larger pedal is the way to go if you wanted either of the 2. I suspect they will release an updated far better version of the larger pedal at an increased cost to justify wanting that pedal. Even so the larger pedal is the way to go, for only $150 more out get far more than $150 of features, software out of it.
Change the game TODAY, curious what tomorrow will bring 😂
Great demo. The Eleven Rack in the background is looking kinda lonely.
Well, this sure is interesting! What about aux in and headphones out? :) ... It's a fly rig! It's not primarily made into a thing that has a lot of connectivity, a thing that you can use for practice and your studio such as the Boss IR-200. But it can be used for recording and gigging, no problem!
I was just about to say "so, use two for stereo", but nope. It's already stereo! Although... One could use two Tonex One pedals for a mock wet/dry rig (for recording at least), or to have two different amps in parallel. Or am I wrong about that?
From the IK Multimedia page: TRS output: Stereo, dual mono or headphones!
@@mcmillanalex Awesome!
Can you use this like a Katana go stright into headphones?
Yes. The stereo output will also drive your headphones.
Word on the street is that the stereo out can be used with headphones.
Wow that Matchless was wonderful. Why did you sell it?? Perhaps you found a better amp, if so what was it!!!!!!!!!!!??
Yeah the matchless is great, but I’ve got it on tonex, I upgraded the amps to Amplified Nation
Sound really good on CZcams but unfortunately, never the same story at home (with Tone X iOS): what is the secret ? Configuration ? I send the signal from my Steinberg UR22 soundcard to my Yamaha HS7 monitoring speaker with the emulated cab of the tone model : what is the chain of tour signal for CZcams please ?
So what's The perfect little companion for this... That has quality ambience effects...(Affordable, quality Delays and reverbs... Maybe some other effects... No amp sim garbage or a gazillion so so effects). So you'd run your guitar through run through your favorite pedals... To the The tonex one.... Into.......What?.... What goes here? (Should not cost more than the tonex one!) recommendations?
18 year old me: "20 amps is completely impossible and insanely expensive." 45 year old me: "I have 20 amps somewhere in my bag. It's a tiny box, I'll have to look where it is. I bought it yesterday on a whim."
With all of these small amp modelers and profilers coming on the market the traditional amp companies are only going to be selling dummy amp heads and cabs
Can I get say, Jason Becker's 1980s tone with the Tonex?
But what's it like with pedals?
I already bought the Boss IR-2 which I love. This seems legit though, great demo guys!
A marvelous half cooked HX stomp.
Little more than an advertisement. The first time I watched your videos I got the same feeling. That’s it now, no more for me.
Looks loke a new cam is in the studio?
No, just 3 cameras that are all the same make and model.
It's pretty much two Captures/Tones controlled by one footswitch in a live situation...which means most gigging guitarists will buy one then two then three.
Yeyy I can finally get rid of my Pandora mk1!!😂😂
Woudl be great if it had 5 switches, a wah pedal and MIDI in out!
Oh wait, there's already stuff like that everywhere.
I really like this small format :D
Yeah, and an aux in and headphones out, and XLR and... 😁
@@nedim_guitar And preferably built-in drum machine and looper and bottle opener!
@@BlazonStone We all need a bottle opener! You know, for our beer.
My thought was the digital read out alone is worth the additional cost
@@steveeckert8396 What is the digital read out?
Super cool! If it were only MIDI.
Larger pedal has midi & is the better value. This pedal is just to suck up ppl who only want to get into Tonelab eco system & if they like it they would probably want the larger pedal anyway. You wil pr0baly see this mini pedal on the used market soon when ppl realise that they are not that usable unless live unless you are sticking to one sound wit hit. Having to scroll through amps & cabs using a tiny control & not know what amp & cab it is is pretty bad really.
I didn't catch if the amp models demoed were from Tonex or your own
The three main demo models are all available from either The Studio Rats web store or via IK Multimedia ToneNET.
All three amp models are from The Studio Rats collections.
It’s the Napster of amps.. hahahahha
Amazing tone of this guitar.. what kind of P90 on the neck? SD?
Great review Folks
I've got the ToneX amp and love it. To be honest, if you can afford it, spend the extra money on the full version😬😬
Why?
I had the full size version and it was option paralysis. In the program I can deal- everything is all spread out, there. The interface on the full pedal by itself, though, doesn’t let you see much. I love the ecosystem but I’m really loving this smaller form factor. It’s stripped down to basics on hand when using the pedal by itself.
@@mikedfurman It's the better product, it has more features such as more outputs & inputs. You have an actual screen & full sized controls rather than relaying on holding down buttons & moving tiny controls & of course it comes with the full suite of software. I would also argue about longevity of the small mini pedal format for this, cramming so much into a small unit - overheating of the chip inside. The large sized pedal is only about $150 more & you get far more than $150 worth - the software alone is worth that.
No iPad or iPhone support?
If there’s no compromise in sound on this smaller unit then it’s an auto buy since tonex has some of the best sounds Ive tried. Specially Joe’s Dumble.
Which is better, this or the Boss Katana Go?
I have the Boss Katana Go. They are not the same. The Katana go is a modeller with built in boss modulation effects (ie delay, chorus, flanger etc).
The Tonex One is a profiler, it does not come with delay, Chorus etc.
Also, the Katana Go plugs directly into your guitar, while the Tonex One is a stomp box.
Both can be connected to Mac/PC and can be used as a audio interface.
Tonex One uses IK Multimedia software to load, edit. The Katana Go uses iphone/Android app to edit via Bluetooth.
Which is better? That depends on your needs.
@@michaelbusuttil363 Ok thank you. I think the Katana Go is more what I am looking for. 👍
@lostinpa-dadenduro7555 The Katana Go sounds great 👍
It's mainly advertised as a personal practice amp but it's much more than that.
🔥
Of course, I didn't buy the ToneX ONE at all. I bought the original larger pedal. I'm thinking that it will be so much fun controlling it via MIDI from the ES-8 that I'll probably end up getting a second one for a stereo rig, even though I'm yet to lay my hands on the first one.
What price in Euro? Cant find it online!! :o
199€
Because I'm down here in the colonies, it was sleep time when ToneX ONE officially became a thing. The first that I heard of it was when I rolled out of bed this morning for your livestream show. Now that I've actually seen it, I think I'll definitely be getting one.
Anyone know what guitar he is playing?
It’s the bfg billy gibbons guitar. You can change the pick ups in and out from the back. No soldering. I think they’re cream pick ups. There’s a review on their channel.
We're getting spoiled lately. Line 6 express, Katana Go, now this.
Those 2 different amp models sound pretty much the same.....
I know there's more scope for difference but this demo can easily be achieved with a boost or drive pedal that's already on the board.
Not seeing a game changer here, just a real estate shift at the expense of functionality.
As it is a game changer must I get rid of my Tonex pedal and get this one instead?
No, the larger pedal is superior unless you are trying to travel light.
@@frankstetka7206 The larger Tone X pedal is already pretty small so to make this into a mini pedal really is for very niche circumstances like if you had a pedal board & just needed to put this on there & the larger pedal was just too large. It may well have a use, but "game changer" it is not.
Is it hand wired? 😁
Wait until next month,you'll be able to have an amp.imbedded in your arm.
So now we can finally see if you are all over the Friedman IR-D Dirty shirley
May I suggest you look my review on the Friedman IR-x then you’ll see why I’m not included in the release team.
@@TheStudioRats I've seen that video in the past, in my recollection you found it to be a bit underwhelming.
Well it is kind of silly to think that just one micro pedal can hold all the original gear and give you the sound that each one of those highly expensive heads holds....In order to believe what it does do one needs to know what the pedal does, I have not read up to it, BUT it is probably and IR of the amp, which means that you mostly get a EQ out of the models, with obviously some gain tweaks, but not not much. I would say for the money and convenience it can be a time saver, one will play his or hers guitar and the room or space they are in will have an particular sound, you might benefit from one of those IR models, the guitar sit better in the mix when the whole band is performing etc etc, similarly for recording music, i would not go and layer all kinds of models on top of eachother, BUT a great mid based model can do wonders on a guitar track that needs more mid without compressing the living shit out of it, just snug it underneath and you're Eric bloody valentine!!!!
It sounds like a Helix copy that isn't there yet
The pressure is on for Neural...
No it isn’t.
Something in the high end doesn’t sound right. Consistent across all the demos from other channels.
"Gainchanger"
Finally a reasonable pun !
1:37 except for MIDI control 😟
Sweet another cheap convenient way to waste an enormous amount of time !
Anyone who can't recognize that we are truly in a golden era of gear is either uninformed or, far worse, willfully in denial.
All these things are described as 'game changer' 😂. Its all hype kids!
There's a lot of hype going on. but really?? the full large pedal in a mini pedal?? No clearly not.
The only thing going for this over the larger pedal is form factor (which I think is an actual hindrance) & price. However that price isn't such a great deal when the product whilst in theory is the same actually isn't. It is too small for live use & you can tell they say "just stick in a gig bag just in case your amp dies". Whilst you could use it live the knobs on it are too small to be usable without good light so really you would be restricted to just using it as is. If you were to only use 1 amp then sure - not that ppl would be switching amps for a live gig but they certaily could on the larger unit easily. This relies on sub menus but using tiny controls & holding down buttons. Plus of course doesn't come with the full software suit.
Its a nice product but... If you cant hear difference between this and a full real stack of whatever you df want, you my dear, you re half def or just not on your right hobby
They should have included the small midi in and outs. Then it would be a real game changer
I already have original TONEX I don’t use - I use QC and kemper. I found the original a bit boxy.
I think it's £179, not $179.
Game changer! Yeah right 😒 “All opinions are my own” but all CZcamsrs thought the same thing? Game changer? Nothing screams script more than that!
😢😢😢😂😂
no it does not change any game. funny how "game changer" is in every youtube video that features this device.
They think the price & the size is a "game changer". Sure you could leave this in a gig bag & use it if needed. You could also use it all the time whether live or in the studio. But as the larger pedal has more features, has an actual screen so you know what is happening & is more robust, has more inputs & outputs & has the full suit of software included then really this is not a "game changer" at all.
Paul couldn't look more bored.
"full tonex pedal in a tiny package not even a scaled down version"
The product page comparison with the full pedal shows this is very much a scaled down version.
Not arguing. But it takes standard tonex captures and the software allows capture too. Obviously it doesn't even have enough knobs to be even controllable like the full version, and it lacks effects.
Only the 374th time ive seen this pedal today. I dont blame you guys for taking a companies money and product, but I wish some of the guitartubers would say NO to something.
We do say no. Think about it: how would you know if a CZcamsr said no to something?
Did they just not have a whole discussion at the top of this page?
Cmon lads there’s no presence control!? I’d be lining up for one if it had presence. Presence is the most important control in a live PA situation imo. I guarantee the mkii when they get around to it, will have presence control
Good point.
통기타 소리가 나네.. ㄷㄷ
Ok i run tonthe store
i'll wait 6 months and grab one out of the trash when everyone is throwing $200 at the next $10 box.
Yes I can see these being on the used market pretty quickly. Far too small & not that much cheaper than the larger pedal that has far more features - midi, larger controls, a display. This is a novelty product to lure ppl into the Tonelab eco system.
So if you have a multitude of amps that cost thousands you can capture them and use this micro pedal to get the same tone......got it... . Heres the problem, I dont own any amps! So its f****ng useless to people like me. If i wanted to download amps other people capture id be using Neural Amp Modeler software for free.
I suppose so however this keeps them all on a pedal so even if you did not want to capture any amps you own then you can simply carry this around & have 20 amps & cabs all on a pedal. The problem I see with this is it's far too small, so the very "appeal" of it being a mini pedal means it isn't very usable live to change settings & amps. Yes it is half the price of the larger Tone X pedal, but that has more inputs & outputs, more features, has a display so you know what you are doing & of course has the full suit of software included. I feel the influencers are shilling this far too much & it is showing. Anyone would really see the larger pedal as the better value overall & is far easier to use & if anyone got this they would always be looking at the larger pedal & thinking they should have got that instead.
Can you bring your Nam to a gig?don’t tell me you will bring your mac and your audio interface please….
That makes sense in a studio, but. Are you going to bring your interface and computer to a gig?
It sounds dark, muffled and like amp modeling. Sounds nothing like a real amp.
NAM is also digital amp modelling.
Digital amp tone hit the ceiling 12 years ago when Kemper invented Profiling.
A few % improvements to that are are pretty much irrelevant.
It's like if you play two vintage JCM800s, they'll sound different by a few %...you'll choose the one you prefer.
Some people will choose Fractal, some people the Helix, some swear by Kemper, some the QC some the ToneX.
@@guitartoneSA I can tell by what you're writing that you've spent little to no time with NAM. I have compared it to ToneX, Fractal and others. NAM is a very different sounding and feeling technology. Try NAM with some captures from Amalgam Audio.
