I haven't played witn ToneX's UI much yet, because it sounds real good and simply couldn't put the guitar down to move the mouse!

But I have the same question as @Sidney Earl Goodroe. My understanding is that with ToneX CS you get 20 devices (amps and pedals), those are not too hard to find. But you so get 20 user models, I guess you choose from many more models available, and add them to the list for a total of 40 devices. Where to you find them, pick the ones you want and add them?

You find user Tone Models on the TONEX section of ToneNET.

This answers my other question. It feels weird without it.

Indeed and agreed.  It is like I have phantom pain in my foot being unable to have the TONEX stomp Tone Models in there.  It is coming, though, I was just talking about this in a meeting and it is known that this should be in there.

One thing that's currently a bit of a drag is that you can only have a single Tonex "capture" loaded (standalone or in Amplitube 5.5).

IOW, You can't have a capture of a tube-screamer... going into a capture of a JCM-800.

The current workaround is to use multiple instances of Tonex or Amplitude.

I certainly hope IK addresses this.

There will be a stomp slot for TONEX Tone Models in a future update.

Can anyone help me? I have used A5 forever seems like. Tonex CS has lost me altogether!!

There is supposed to be 20 models in CS but I don't know how to find them.

There is no explanation as to getting the 20 user models that are supposed to be available to me! I tried the Tonex online library but there is no info as to how to acquire those either!

IOW, HELP!!! I am lost!!

You should see your 20 models in the browser inside the TONEX software.  Are you seeing no models or many (or something else)?

I am seeing an option to pay in installments for ToneX Max. Where and how does one pick this option? I tried all sorts of ways and no way to get to pick that option. 

 

OR $42 x 6 MONTH

If you see that message which should be created programmatically, you should be able to click it to see the details on the PayPal multiple payment options.

Edit - If you are getting that $50 coupon I'll bet that is taking your total below the minimum for multiple payments.

I enjoyed this. Peter,  I've pre-ordered Capture and have it ready to go except for one thing. I've contacted tech support twice with no response. Do you know what cables are needed? Do you use speaker cables, standard TS cables, balanced TRS cables? I'm excited to use it to it's potential but I don't want to blow up my amp! Thanks!

Sorry about that if you could give me your ticket number I'll let our Support Manager know you didn't hear back.  But for any cabinet connections you'd want to use speaker cable for sure.  So to/from cabinet would be where you'd use speaker cables otherwise I'd recommend using the cables the gear would normally use (so TS for amp input, etc).

Reminds me I need a bunch more of both as well as balanced cables, MIDI cables and more for the patchbays.  Oh yeah and XLR cables and more balanced cables for the "jam area" I'm putting in the front room.  IT NEVER ENDS

Jason is one of my favorite AmpliTube users and guitar YouTubers, I'm glad he has TONEX Capture and soon TONEX software.

Thanks for the heads up.  I already have this on Steam (and will be compatible with my Steam Deck that I finally was able to order, I believe) and Xbox but I'll still put this in the ol' Epic library for a rainy day or whatever.

With regard to the first impressions video, many have complimented the Fender Princeton tone there.  Note that is a Tone Model captured in that non-optimal trade show space right there during the Expo.  So have faith that users can certainly capture their gear at home with great results if they so desire.

Somewhere between 00:00 and 23:59, choose either eastern US or Italian time zones

For those asking about a release date:

Getting closer, here are some thoughts from artists who used TONEX at a recent expo:

Minus JamPoints on our site, too.  Pretty good deal.

You can now explore over 1,000 TONEX Tone Models of rare and sought-after gear for guitar and bass players on ToneNET

Looks like the X-GEAR prices got updated to $199.99.

AmpliTube X-DRIVE $199.99

AmpliTube X-TIME $199.99

AmpliTube X-SPACE $199.99

AmpliTube X-VIBE $199.99

That's a US/Canada Labor Day sale, not permanent pricing.  Today is the last day for those (and the other hardware on sale in the US/Canada like the iLoud Micros and MTM as well as the SE software deal).

You'll believe it when you hear it and we took fair scientific measurements.  We'll have a list of places where you can hear them up soon.

I was today old when I learned JamPoints could be used for only 30% of the payment.

But they were not usable on sale items before, until we made them usable on things like software that's already marked down $110

Or any other company in our space except some indies?  OK, as long as we're being realistic and realizing IK is far from the only company that has sales going most days...

We don't auto-register hardware so you'd need to register those MTM units, but IK Support can help if you don't have the card etc around any more and want to.   You'll also unlock some free software but I'm assuming Bapu has all.

The discount is applied during checkout, it is a coupon that you can apply there.

Studio Monitors with truly class-defying and exceptional audio performance

IK Multimedia is proud to announce the iLoud Precision series, representing another breakthrough in nearfield monitoring from the company that revolutionized compact monitors with iLoud Micro Monitor and iLoud MTM.

Available in a choice of 3 configurations — 2-way 5" or 6.5", and 2 x 5" MTM — these handmade works of sonic art reflect IK's 25+ years of expertise in loudspeaker design and digital signal processing, delivering a level of sonic detail that rivals and even surpasses speakers at three times the price, with unique DSP-based features and software workflow enhancements that can't be found anywhere else.

Best-in-class Response and Clarity
iLoud Precision offers a stunning frequency response from 36 Hz to 30 kHz, with a superior ±1 dB tolerance from 45 Hz up, for precise and uncolored audio throughout the whole listening spectrum. This is guaranteed to be accurate within ±0.5 dB for a unit-to-unit consistency that is simply unmatched, thanks to the monitors' calibration during the last stage of the manufacturing process.

The iLoud Precision also leverages its unique 96 kHz internal DSP processing, digital crossover and custom-designed Class D amplifier to deliver true linear phase response above 150 Hz for precise stereo imaging, crisp transients and incredible detail. The result is a stunningly clear, revealing sound quality that's absolutely true to life; a feature that simply cannot be found in any other studio monitors with such a degree of precision.

iLoud Precision also sets a new standard for time coherence, or the precise response alignment between woofer and tweeter drivers, reaching nearly the theoretical ideal step response performance. This offers the highest level of time accuracy, without sacrificing frequency response, thus eliminating the ear fatigue that can develop over longer listening sessions on other studio monitors lacking a time coherent response.

Only IK's powerful DSP and advanced digital control lets the iLoud Precision achieve such a great combination of phase linearity, time coherence and flat, uncolored frequency response for unmatched clarity and sound.

At the top of the range, the iLoud Precision MTM use the midwoofer-tweeter-midwoofer configuration to deliver not only the highest SPL, but also an ultra-precise, point source sound with incredible stereo imaging. This means users will experience an even more natural, life-like sound, where the speaker cabinets "disappear" and attention can be focused entirely on hearing the music in its truest form, without the coloration that other studio monitors can impart on the source material.

Built-in Acoustic Calibration
With iLoud Precision, there's less worry about treating the listening environment. Each speaker features built-in calibration based on the acclaimed ARC™ System technology. Just connect the included MEMS measurement microphone and in a few seconds, the iLoud Precisions will tune themselves to any setting, from mixing room to living room.

Extended Controls and Voicing Emulation
The iLoud Precision series introduces X-MONITOR, a unique and advanced control application for Mac and Windows that assists with ARC calibration and enables extended acoustic and voicing selection and adjustments, plus convenient access to the settings on the Precision's back panel. The software is plug-and-play via a simple USB connection with no special setup needed.

Even more exciting, X-MONITOR allows iLoud Precision to emulate the frequency and phase response of the most revered studio monitors on the market and classic hi-fi speakers. Over 20 monitor profiles are included, and more will be released in the future, so users can A/B test mixes on a wide variety of reference systems quickly, without ever leaving the sweet spot or needing any other speakers.

Deep Bass, Immersive-ready
With bass extension down to as low as 30 Hz with ARC calibration enabled, iLoud Precision delivers deep, powerful bass that's nevertheless controlled and balanced. And the adjustable bass roll-off lets iLoud Precisions emulate other playback systems and integrate with a sub, for unparalleled low-end performance in any setup.

In addition to self-calibrating to the listening environment, iLoud Precision features a range of low- and high-frequency management options, including a switchable Full/35/50/65/80 Hz high-pass filter to optimize their performance with Atmos® and other immersive setups.

Isolation Pods and Remote Control
Each iLoud Precision not only includes an ARC measurement microphone, but also a kit of 4 iLoud Isolation Pods that dramatically reduce the propagation of vibrations between the speaker and supporting surface. An optional iLoud Precision Remote Control is also available to quickly switch between X-MONITOR speaker emulations and/or functions like ARC On/Off, Mute or Dim. The remote also works with ARC to control the measurement/room calibration process, while providing visual feedback on the calibration status and monitor settings.

Completely Made in Italy
Not only are iLoud Precision studio monitors developed in Italy, but they are also completely manufactured in the country, leveraging the traditional handmade craftsmanship that have made Italian products an iconic reference in the world for quality manufacturing and innovative design.

I am limiting myself to only one game at a time. 

I was playing Oblivion,  but stopped for some reason I can't remember.  Now I don't know what my quest was... anyway.

Now I am playing PGA Tour I got off Steam in a nice sale. I started a "career"... Will see how far I get with that! It's really a nice golf game.

I usually have  a couple I am always playing - the main one there is Rocket League - with a couple of others I still play once I take care of any weekly/seasonal stuff in Rocket League.  Currently I'm replaying Borderlands 1 (the GOTY/remaster though - and makes perfect sense with about 1,400 games in my Steam library alone...) and playing through Tiny Tina's Wonderlands.  I play some GamePass games to get rewards points to keep getting free months of GamePass Ultimate too but not many of those grab me for more than whatever the challenge is for the rewards.  Hades might be one to really get me, though, I'm sure I could plow through that and enjoy it while reaping 50 points per achievement.

Never mind.  Please contact their support or ours if you have a question or are confused.  Thanks.

When I was in PA we would idle wild.

Does Tonex come with lots of different captures, presets, whatever you call them, ready to be used?

Yes, TONEX MAX includes 1,000 Tone Models ready to be used.  ToneNET for TONEX will be up and running with more free from us and from users.  The list of the Tone Models (including which version of software they're included) is available on the TONEX web page.

Hear the results of the Dumble capture from the last video, the Tone Models played over the theme and A/B'd with the real amp.
