OK, WE NEED TO TALK... about IK MULTIMEDIA TONE X! 

After watching this for 15 minutes I realized Pete’s also dealing with having to capture everything for the video while doing the Tonex process at the same time and still has to do all the editing later. Let’s take a minute to appreciate how much work it takes to actually put out RU-vid content. 🤘

Seriously, a new, fully developed song for every demo? It's not enough he plays like a fiend, but the creativity Pete has is just mind-blowing.

Pete you’re the only RU-vidr that actually bothers to note how something responds to guitar volume levels. I appreciate that so much

Your smile during the A/B comparison of the Tone Model vs the real deal says it all - It is an amazing technology indeed. A great demo as always.

0:00 Intro Song 2:23 What is Tone X? 3:50 Pete captures his amp. 4:25 Tone X capture device. 5:15 How to capture. 6:28 Pete’s amps & captures. 8:01 Capture process. 15:50 Refining the capture. 17:10 Sounds of A/B amp to capture. 18:45 Sounds of more captured amps. 22:15 Conclusion.

Honestly... I just bought this product and came here to watch your demo. It made me buy a t-shirt from your shop, just to see the work you put down on this. It just made feel bad having watched all your work with demos through the years never giving something back. Thank you for your work in this community! ❤🎉❤️😘

Really nice job working through and sharing all of this. Thanks, Pete!

Pete - thanks for touching on the feel vs real amps. Always something to consider.

A very big thank you for showing the process!!! You really do create some of the very best videos on guitar gear that are clear, understandable and of course your playing is off the charts great. Huge props!

Amazing sounds and great explanation of things. Hope to see your capture pack soon!

Always cool stuff on your videos, never boring! Thanks, Pete!

This is the Tonex review that I’d been waiting for. The summary at the end was really useful too (intrigued re your thoughts on how the captures take pefals). Thanks Pete!

great review Pete... amazing times we're in.

Thank you Pete, I have the pedal and looking forward to you releasing your capture pack… awesome sounds and sensational playing as always.

Loved the demo, Pete. Can’t wait to dive into it myself. Great stuff, as usual!

Pete I really enjoyed the video & demo of the ToneX. I'm impressed with all the tones & your playing with this device. Very nice job!!

I’ve watched so many vids on this, and I’ve been procrastinating over it. But after this I feel educated enough to go ahead. Great vid, killer sounds. Looking forward to trying out your amps, your tone is always so on point.

I love the idea of having all these really close “clones” of great amps without having to spread tens of thousands of $$$ on the real thing. Sure amp collecting is fun but for many is cost prohibitive. Devices like this allow us to explore all types of tonal options and maybe get turned onto a sound that we previously didn’t think we’d like. Great vid as always Pete.

I love TONEX. 2 secrets about TONEX if you raise your sampling rate to 96K instead of 441 or 48K the impulse responses will sound far more accurate without losing the very top of the audio spectrum to aliasing. The reason the captures sound a little bit darker is due to aliasing causing frequency masking from the conversions low pass filtering. At 96k it pushes the aliasing way beyond the spectrum of our hearing range and cleans up the top end of the captures and the impulse responses. Don’t get me wrong they sound good at 48K but they are indistinguishable at 96k. Also if you want your amp captures to sound exactly like they do to your ear in a room and avoid the microphone’s color try a measurement microphone.

Thanks for the in depth review! I believe this will actually help people with this tech,I know it did me and I have had it since it debuted .Kudos to you and don’t stop playing

*This sounds great!!! I’m looking forward to another raise soon at work and buying more gear. 🏆 Your demos are always on point. I’ve been watching at least for 3 years and these videos are informative yet entertaining.*

This was really well done! A lot of us don’t have a big selection of amps and even if we did we might not have the skills to record them well. Seems like this can be a real help. I’ve actually learned some things capturing my Dr Z and Princeton but the captures that come with it are great. Especially Joe Bonnamasa’s Dumble!

Awesome demo, very much looking forwards to the pack!

That thing is insane! I have scaled back to only 2-amps (lost my basement studio when we moved to Texas), but it looks like others may have filled the gap with all of their samples. I have just started working with the IK stuff (iRig HD 2) and I must say, I am quite blown away. Direct into my PA and it sounds amazing! Great job on the review!!

Pete, you are such a great educator as well as musician.

I'm so excited for this profiling business. I build pedals and make custom versions of circuits. Will be so fun to profile them and share them with everyone

Loved that intro piece. Superb!

Great review! Thanks, Pete.

This vid sold a unit!! Amazing as always, Pete!

I just had a chance to watch this whole demo. Just - WOW! An amazing piece of gear! Also, your demo song really shines a light on how great this sounds, and your basic tutorial is wonderful. Thanks for this demo - I hope you were well compensated, because I think you have sold at least several dozen!

That is seriously good playing at the beginning of the video. ❤ thank you for such a detailed review.

Pete is really a tone master... he can always get great guitar tones!

thanks for all you do Pete enjoyed the tour of Tonex

Interesting device. It's close. It seems to use a tech that's similar to the way that IRs are captured. Thanx for your work Pete. I still use a reactive load box into a Atomic Ampli-Firebox that hosts only IRs. One of the best tricks you taught me.

Can't wait for your captures!

Thanks for the content Pete. You inspire a lot!

Thanks for mentioning "feel". This very rarely gets mentioned in regards to captures, etc and I find it incredibly important. Cool video Pete

This man is just doing right. Great advice and channel.

Man, you look like you're having fun! I loved when you laughed and said, "It's really really really good!", when you were comparing the Marshall capture to the real thing.

IK seriously just raised the capture bar while simultaneously lowering the price point of admission. Most impressive. Fantastic content Pete! ✌🤟🖖

Been watching Pete for years, this is the best Tone I have heard on his channel yet!

There are a lot of reviewers, but with great skill and musical sense only a few, and you are one of them. Kudos for that 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Woah, seems like a very cool product and an amazing demo!!!! Kudos Pete.

I've been looking online at this thing for a couple of weeks. I searched to see if you had reviewed it yet, but no. But I pulled the trigger anyway and bought one a couple of days ago and I'm waiting for it to arrive. You can't imagine how happy I am now to see this review and your reaction at the A-B comparison! Thanks Pete!

Sounds great Pete, I've been a fan for years and you never fail to impress. Your video for the HX Stomp inspired me to get pick one up, unfortunately I don't possess a stable of cool tube amps to capture, but this is a pretty cool piece of gear nonetheless. It's a great time to be a guitar player with respect to all of the cool technology we can use.

Thanks for your videos Pete, you are a great person and a great musician!

Awesome video. Great captures too :)

I have watched your videos and demonstrations on products for years. My 1st video of yours that I saw was several years ago with you doing a RU-vid Van Halen song. I started following you since then. Great demonstration on the Tonex Pedal !

Thanks for another solid video, Pete… love your content and especially your playing, man. You really show what various instruments and equipment can do, and it’s super helpful.

Thanks Pete for making this VID. I'm still using my Line 6 HELIX ( Floor ) I saw this @ NAMM. For me I own Zero AMP/CAB Yet I see how this is really Great!

Man your demos are the bomb❤

These videos are gold. Thank you

You’re the man, Pete! Another great vid.

Easily the best explanation of what the "whole package" of what Tonex is. Added to that is the "why" & "how" of Tonex Capture which is hugely important but almost over never talked about. What does it all sound like? Pete proves with his incredible playing.

Great job, I'm definitely with you on the ease-of-use. I'm still confounded how these engineers can't make it more simple😊. Anyway, the tonex sounds awesome, I am now using it on my daw.

It's an amazing little piece of gear - it's hardware _and_ a plugin - I think IK did a terrific job and props to them for getting the software in place first, rather than promising and not delivering. It's practically the only thing I'm using now for practicing...just sooo convenient and easy to manage the volume of a stack at full roar if you want. I'm on-board for any of the amps you want to capture Pete. Nice job!

Great video; I love my Tonex pedal. I'd definitely buy a capture pack

That tele looks amazing!

At 21:30, the capture of the Germino Headroom 100 tone is absolutely heart-racing. The fact that it's, in ANY way, digital is mind-boggling.

love your compositions, great parts

Well I’m a tube amp builder and I know this is the future. It’s awesome technology and it sound amazing. Thanks for the video Pete.

Just a public service announcement for anyone who will do a lot of their own captures and want to SPEED up the advanced captures: TONEX will utilize the CUDA cores on an NVidia graphics card/GPU (no AMD, no stock graphics). I can do an Advanced capture in

Fantastic video, as always!

Beautiful playing Pete at the beginning ! Cheers from Quebec !

Best video I have seen on Tonex software and pedal. Very impressive system and technology. Great work!! I look forward to buy your captures.

I've been hearing about this affordable device... great video Pete! 🤘🎸😎

Bingo and dead on, I am so glad you made this video with this product. I really enjoy playing but I'm done with my large tube amps. Too heavy, expensive tubes, and God forbid you need work done on one. It's horrible to find a good amp tech, and if you move around (like me for work) you may have to ship it to get it repaired, and I have. So honestly this tool is a no brainer, just got one and going full deep dive. Last big amp to go w/in the month was my Mesa Boogie, all but a small Fender tube amp is left. Again, thanks and great video. Cheers!!

Yes, I would purchase these captures!

Awesome playing sir !

It was cool to see you at Mike Landau show last night. Thanks for being a down to earth musician.

I am playing in Taiwan now. Met you at Viper. Best to you sir.

Such a great video Pete! Just bought the Tonex so I'm gonna' need to buy those captures off of you. 😉 They sound amazing!

Sublime playing as always Pete

Pete… my goodness this was the coolest demo track I’ve heard you do! Please sell this tune! I love it!

One of the best demo channels. Hands down.

Fantastic! Thanks

Another awesome well presented informative video but Pete man the piece you played at the start is absolutely smoking dude!

Amazing as usual!!

Great tool for cover bands where a guitarist, keyboard player, or bassist wants to get closer to original amplified tones and not carry around a truckload of amps and pedals!! Great run through Pete, shows enough to get interested!!

Great video! I’d love to see IK add built-in delay, which would make the headphone out more useable. Plus an aux jack for practicing. I’m also curious how it will sound through FOH when someone else is miked up on stage. Lots of promise!

Vert thorough video. Awesome.

I remember when I was happy about the direct out of my JMP-1 preamp which was basically an EQ.

Pete …….YOU are the man. Such Killer groove and melodic feel. Amazing technique. I also appreciate this video as well.

Love his solos

Great video! I already own the Tonex pedal, but I found this information valuable regardless. I agree that having to sift through all the available captures is a daunting and time consuming task. It's like going down the rabbit hole and keeps you away from making music for the most part. And that is a common problem across all of the products on the market (Kemper, Quad Cortex, Tonex, Headrush prime, etc.) I wish they could apply some AI technology to facilitate that, for example, by allowing you to sort the hundreds or thousands of sounds by some characteristics like gain among other parameters...

It sounds awesome!

Those are really great sounding Captures you made. Having a hardware box you can import and bring your Captures with you was a smart move by IK Multimedia. There is a totally free open Software called NAM that does the same thing, but without a portable unit. I wouldn't be surprised if some Modelers will be be able to use NAM captures in the not too distant future.

I have many of these synthesizers, effects processors, starting with my Roland GR1.. echoplex..vox cry baby, fuzz pedal, mxr blue box, sustainer, phase 90, Yamaha DG stomp, My Johnson multi effects pedal,not forgetting my amplifiers with built in effects like my Hughes and Kettner Zen amp, my vox VT 30, my fender cyber twin.. my first digital effects amp, crate DX 212, which was the easiest to work and recall settings that you have dialed in and want to recall instantly.. my fender cyber twin is so complicated, I have given up on ever finding the same tone or effects blends a second time. That’s one thing about these digital effects, they sound different even if you save them, when you recall them, they don’t sound the same.. I still have most of that equipment I mentioned. But I am finding that my Yamaha DG stump pedal running through one of my tube amplifiers like my Peavey classic 30 or my Peavey Classics 50 or my Deltablues tube amplifiers is enough.. I bought my DG stomp pedal one Sunday morning on a closeout price for $99 free shipping about 20 years ago. I see them selling now used on eBay for $300. There’s a reason.. A lot of these boxes have so many variations, effects,tones- a lot like having cable tv with 300+ channels, and you cant find anything you like to watch.. 95% of the sounds these effects boxes can produce, are never used, just like cable tv.. you have 300 channels, but you only have 20 channels on your favorites list..

I have an original Jim Kelley! I love it. I have it captured several times in my Quad Cortex. I think I heard that John Suhr was going to make Jim Kelleys. Great sounds and playing! I have the Tonex software and I'll eventually get around to making plug-ins from my amps.

I thought this was a Just Another newbie when this hit street but I think this Tone X & software is Devicealicious.. Great demo Peter

Man, you’re the best ❤

Love your channel Pete! On a video this long, you might want to consider chapter markers. It's as simple as putting the start times into your Description box I.E. 00:00 Music Intro 01:34 Introduction etc. (I just found this myself) 😉

I’m upgrading from my Atomic Amplifire to IK Multimedia Tone X ,that’s my new rig my new sound these days. Very Informative Pete, Thanks for the video. Ya rawk brother.

Hey Pete, not sure if you have Amplitube as well but if you do, put their version of the Metal Zone in front of your captures. Roll the Distortion allllllllll the way off , set the controls to noon and dial in the volume to taste. This lets you drive the front end with a tiny bit of extra treble. It helps to add back that 1-2% that always sounds "off" about a capture. There's some weird magic in the Metal Zone (and the real life Boss pedal) that pushes the preamp just right and makes an amp open up.There's no added Distortion. It's definitely not Metal. It's almost like a Volume knob with Pesence. It adds "sparkle".

Pete I’m so glad you’re doing this demo ! I just bought a TONEX Pedal and your the one I’ve been waiting for to try it out Thanks. Vic from Vancouver Canada.

Holy sh*t those captures sound close to the real thing! In some other demo videos with blind tests I could tell which was real and which the tonex quite easily. But here... man. I sometimes don't even hear that Pete is switching. Great video Pete, as always. 😎

When you hear Pete Thorn play, you are undoubtedly listening to the VERY, VERY best of show!

I recently purchased this pedal, .... after having the free, computer-based version. I am enjoying the process of learning the pedal and discovering what I can do with it. For me, it is a must-have device, especially for those gigs where stage volume has to be very controlled. My concern was the "feel" of using this technology: the feel of the strings under my fingers and how the strings respond to what I do with my pick, fingers and palm mutes .... it's not the same as using a cranked tube amp ... clean or dirty. Making a living as a playing-musician in the late 60s, 70s, and 80s, using ONLY high quality tube amps ... my technique has been burned into my brain ... based on the interaction between me, my guitar and my amp .... and the environment. That's very inspirational on stage, but when that chemistry and those dynamics have been altered, as is the case with using digital and modeling tech, it can interfere with the dynamics and energy I used to rely on. Having said that, I do not regret the purchase ... as I said, it is a "must have" for a working electric guitar player. I had some technical problems that required the replacement of my first pedal and problems with setting up the replacement pedal. IK Multimedia Tech Support could not be reached by phone, and it took them a while to get to me by email. That delayed being able to actually start using the pedal ... but, as of this week, it's all up and running. Great product and a good company in my opinion.

That candy apple red Suhr is gorgeous.

That intro song was just unbelievable! Great great note choice, original, emotional JUST KILLER 🤘🤘😎😎
