Update: Mine has come off my board and may end up on the F/S section (Little one got hold of the registration card and decided it'd look better creased and torn so can't send it back under 30 days anymore)... Honestly a great sounding pedal and I'd recommend to anyone after an amp sim. My only issue is my band runs everything through an RCF Evox 12 system with no backline. The details of the amp sims are completely lost on it as it's not the best PA; so I may as well stick with my old school Tone Hammer V1

Software is awful - packaging says it comes with ToneX SE but it actually comes with ToneX CS which is an inferior product and limits what can be downloaded from Tonenet. The standard ToneX one comes with ToneX SE. I'd have sent it back for this alone if my youngest hadn't damaged the packaging. Some of the captures are great - for what I do the clean mix is a godsend as I'm not a fan of Cab IRs without a blend. There's a night and day feel difference between this and standard modellers though. I saw great reviews about the SVT models but it's the Aguilar and GK Fusion models that have impressed me. Some of the stompbox drive options are good too. Hope this helps... any more info needed let me know!

Unfortunately I lost my battle with GAS and mr DPD delivered the ToneX one bass edition on Saturday... Set up was every bit as convoluted as people say and I'm still finding my way around the software now but there are some great things in there!

Excellent review... they've certainly done well with the OC-5. I definitely remember there being a difference in the immediacy of my Octabvre Mini and the OC-5 (I was really rooting for the OC-5 aswell). Based on your review I may pick one up and give it another go...

Sure the bass pack is £99 though - so if not an existing user the bass edition is definitely better value

Can't bring myself to buy the new ToneX one Bass as don't really need it but it's actually painful how interested I am in them... anyone pulled the trigger yet?

Mind if I ask what your experience has been with the Twonotes opus? I'm not even sure if I need cab emulation but it's something I keep being drawn to...

Well spotted! It was the Hotone Patch Kommander (post corrected). It was an excellent bit of kit, really intuitive to use and really really handy when trying to prevent tap dancing. Couple of niggles that lead to it getting moved on: Jacks were too close to each other (too close to make angled cables easy but straight cables too space consuming) You couldn't amend pedal order - if more than one switch engaged it stacked from 1-4, no option for parallel or changing stack order Other than that though, well built and easy to use analogue option!

While these lists are massively impressive - I'm just as impressed that you've all managed to remember them in alphabetical order! Here's mine - I've starred stuff currently still owned and tallied stuff I've bought multiple times! It's nowhere near as organised as alot of these lists, or as extensive - but there's some stuff on there I'm really sad to have moved on. 3Leaf Audio Octabvre Mini Aguilar AG Preamp Aguilar Tonehammer Preamp* Ampeg Optocomp Ampeg SGT-DI Ashdown James Lomenzo hyperdrive Ashdown Bass tuner Aphex Bass Exciter Boss OC-2 Octave Boss OC-3 Octave Boss OC-5 Octave Boss CEB-3 Bass Chorus Boss ODB-3 Bass Overdrive Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion Boss LMB-3 Bass Limiter Enhancer Celebrity Pedals Taylor Shift* Cog T16 (II) Darkglass Alpha Omicron Demonfx Call76 compressor Digitech Whammy IV DopeFX Earth Dweller Dirty Haggard Audio Broken Dunlop Crybaby Wah EHX Bassballs EHX Bass Soul Food EHX Bass Big Muff EXH Double Muff EHX Deluxe Bass Big Muff EHX Hot Wax (II) EHX Green Russian Big Muff (II) EHX Sovtek Deluxe (II) Hotone Ampero II Stomp Hotone Patch Kommander Hotone Soul Press II IK Multimedia ToneX one Jam Bass Rattler Mk2 * Jam Dynassor Joyo Monomyth Joyo Orthoros* Joyo Tidal Wave Joyo Ultimate Drive* JPTRFX Jive (II) Korg Pitchblack Custom* Laney Digbeth Preamp Line 6 HX Stomp (II) Line 6 HX One* Mark Bass Vintage Preamp Malekko Diabolic Marshall Jackhammer Mooer Fog Bass Fuzz MXR M88 Octave MXR Bass Envelope Filter NUX MLD Bass Preamp Origin Effects Cali76 Bass Compressor Origin Effects Cali76 Compact Bass Compressor Source Audio Aftershock (III) Source Audio C4 * Source Audio Bass OFD Source Audio Ultrawave Bass* (II) Source Audio Bass Zio SushiboxFX Spaceheater* TC Electronic Spectracomp (II) TC Electronic Sub 'n' up TC Electronic Sub 'n' up mini TC Electronic Corona mini TC Electronic Mojomojo TC Electronic Spark Mini booster Tech21 Sansamp bass driver Tech21 Sansamp VTDI Two Notes Le Bass (II) Way Huge Pork & Pickle (III) XVive Bass Squeezer Zoom 506II Bass Zoom MS60B (II) Zvex Mastotron (II)

I'd go with the EHX Hotwax for this. 2 distinct drives which are stackable and a universal blend control - fantastic pedal and really well priced.

That explains why the ToneX Bass is a full £100 more than the standard ToneX! Rediculous really

That's how it looks! Although they're presenting the presets as premium which makes me wonder if they're model specific... Clever marketing I suppose but poor for the consumer

Seems a shame there’s a price jump from the tonex one to the tonex one bass edition though. The promise of a wet dry blend has me potentially sold though - it’ll likely kick my ultra wave and jam rattler off the board and I’ll keep the tone hammer as a DI/tone sculpt

Looks like it’s going back! Absolutely nothing wrong with it, I actually prefer the tone to my octabvre. That being said, the octabvre is close enough that I’d rather just keep hold of it rather than buy two pedals doing the same job - I’ll stick it on the f/s section until richtone come back with return info

Not a bad shout at all!… just arrived obligatory photo

I'll see what I can do for you pal... Out of interest, has anyone had any success just putting a boost after the OC2 and kicking them in at the same time? I hate tap dancing but it seems less likely to result in a broken OC2!

While it's not here yet so technically not my latest pedal - I have an actual OC-2 due to arrive tomorrow after years of trying and testing various clones! Looking forward to removing the -2 control and seeing how the OG stacks up to my Octabvre mini!

Delivered on the Ali-Express by any chance? Haha… I’ve just returned the full fat version as it happens - nice bit of kit but didn’t warrant £300

I'm guessing this wasn't a good change? Really? I'm glad to hear the OC5 works for you, as it does for alot of other players - but I'm surprised it's more immediate, as with it being a digital pedal there's expected processing time that would normally result in some kind of latency (which admittedly was my experience).

I enjoyed the tone of the one I briefly had - but the ever so slight latency of it put me off in the end. It just didn't have the same feel as my Octabvre mini or OC2s I've previously played through...

Slightly more of a mid punch - but more than that there was a feel thing. Latency on the OC5 was minimal but it just wasn't as immediate as my octabvre is

I don’t actually think I NEED anything to be honest… half of our set is clean and the other half is synth/solo octave sound. I LOVE the rattler, but don’t really need a drive sound at the moment and the ultra wave can do a decent enough job should the need arise so feels like a waste of a spot. id always like to get more out of my clean tone, I love the idea of something more amp-like but I’ve yet to find anything that gets on with my synth patches and octave, even the AGS amp trick takes more than it gives… I appreciate the shout on the OC5 @Al Krow, but I’ve had one before and it didn’t come close to my octabvre. I’ve got a Taylor shift too but the octave isn’t working, Celeb pedals offered to repair under warranty but I find shipping to Turkey a bit daunting! I’m unfortunate in that my eyes hear digital and I struggle to move past it. The HX one is purely there for chorus and delay!
