Marc Cormier Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 Anyone have experience with his Helix presets? There's thousands available on the CustomTone site at Line 6 for owners but they mostly utilize stock cabs. I'm wondering if the tone matching in these presets make a qualitative difference.
bluzdog Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) He's pretty vague about what's in the Quad Cortex pack but for $34 I'll give it a shot. Thanks. edit: I scrolled down, lots of goodies! ? Edited October 10, 2023 by bluzdog
JT3Jon Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 How often do sales happen? first I’ve heard of this guy wanna do some research.

Frequently if you subscribe to his newsletter, but 50% off is more common. Getting 80% doesn't happen often. Check his youtube channel, he is among the biggest guys doing this. He is also one of Partner Collections on Tonex - so you can demo a few things. He is one of the few - like Amalgam Audio that seems focused on lower and mid gain amps instead of the metal crowd, which I tend to appreciate.

No experience with Helix (I own all his TONEX packs and most of the NAM stuff) But if you have a toss away email you can get his "free - try it out" pack to test the waters 1
RSMcGuitar Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 So, I splurged and bought a couple of the ToneX packs... I have zero clue how I'm supposed to add these packs to ToneX. Anyone know?
FatBlimp Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 Go to presets (not tone models), click on any preset - you aren’t replacing the one you click on, don’t worry - and right click your mouse. You’ll get a pop up with an option to import presets. Just navigate to the TJ folder and highlight all the presets you’d like to import. 1

Which ones did you grab? 1

The vintage (and even more modern Gibson Goldtone series) Gibson amps have long been one of my favorites - I grabbed the Skylark within a few days of release. Not the most versatile amp, but cranked up they have something special going on. If you have ever tried to profile your own stuff you might have an appreciation for the amount of value for the money packs of that size are at this sale price - I know my time is far more valuable then the price offered. Even with a super computer specd for this stuff a single Advanced capture takes about an hour. And if you don't have a good Graphics Card with a modern CPU - one capture on the advanced setting can easily take an entire day. 1

I certainly feel like I got a screaming deal getting two packs for $8.50 I also didn't notice these freebies at first: https://tonejunkiestore.com/tone-x-free-pack-sign-up
Craig Fowler Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 Can you use the ToneX packs with the free version, or do you need a paid one for it to work?
Guest Heath Row Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) PSA Just a heads up if you frequent New Vintage Audio for TONEX captures, I tried to buy the newly released Peavey JSX, well the short and curly of it is I was charged and the money taken, but I got a message basically saying the process took to long so it failed, must have failed after taking the money, so I sends off a message to them, waited a few hours, then thought I'd give it another shot lol, but this time I added the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV, TONEX MAX only has the normal Hot Rod Deluxe version, anyway, same thing happened, sent off another email, but I'm not going back for a 3rd shot ?, I hope someone else does a quality JSX set and the Hot Rod Deluxe IV, I think that will be easier to find, I shall have a look. I wasn't there when patience was handed out ? So if anyone does go there, it may not be smooth sailing, or maybe it's just me. Edited October 13, 2023 by heath row

You can use with free but be warned it may count against your total free count. At one time that was only 20 user captures. 2

Also recommend typing in "Tone Junkie TV" in the search bar when connected to Tonenet as he throws up a few captures of every pack he releases (also do the same from "Amalgam" as those are some of the best available - but he usually only posts one free capture. 2
bluzdog Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 I'm pretty blown away with the amount of captures in the Quad Cortex pack.That's some value right there.

Well a couple of days latter and all is good, don't know if I got the first $25+ back, that order contained the JSX same as the second order plus another, but I couldn't be bothered checking. No word on the why's or where's just an Email with the download links etc, no word on the first purchase. There is a couple more packs I want from there, anyone want to try it out to see if it's working OK now? anyone, anyone?
