Ridiculous/Ludicrous system. I decided that as I had a better grasp of this and I wanted to practice what I had learned that I'd apply it to some presets for my acoustic guitar... having none of it and it has asked me to reinstall the Tonex set up! <edit> The software has now crashed 3 times while I've been browsing; laptop is barely 12 months old so not ancient.

Irritating to say the least that when I went back through the settings for a 3rd or 4th time it suddenly had the tonex option in the drop down! I changed zero while cycling through the options but it changed any way! Lets see how we get on now!

That made sense. However, I can't adjust these final settings!

Doing it on my laptop and I've followed tutorials but can I heck as like get it to change any parameter, despite me dragging dials to their extreme!

At the minute I'd like to adjust / manipulate one of the presets but can I hell simply turn settings up/down and hear changes in real time.

Do you have to restore your purchases every time you restart/start the Tonex software? I also appear to have only 15 tones/presets to choose from in the whole library without purchasing add ons?

I'll just be venting my spleen as I go... 'Tonex not responding' is my present vexation!

I'm going to be putting this through the window in a minute! Registered, downloaded, pedal plugged into laptop, open Amplitude 5... instant and continuous feedback loop, which I have to shut down straight away! Totally frustrated with this croc of shyte; it shouldn't be this hard to navigate into a programme and put sounds onto a pedal.

I'm having exactly the same issues right now! Registered the product and then going in circles trying to access/download stuff! I haven't even begun to suss how to open the UI to start loading stuff on the pedal!

When I get the pedal I'll get my head around that! LOL Can you just put 3 presets into the pedal? I know it holds 20 per slot but can I just put 3 in? I can load a different three as and when.

I'd always have 3 presets (max) for either of the bands I am in, so I'd preprog/set them for whichever band I was with.

I've taken the plunge! It transpires that operating the pedal in edit mode you can toggle through 3 'settings'. Hopefully I'll be able to use the 3 main tones that I need, otherwise this will go in front of a Zoom MS60 and I'll do everything from the 2 pedals.

I've been super impressed with the MI-Pro58.

It would be this all day long for me. Easy to replicate without costing a fortune... and looks cool (IMHO).

I did a 'blind' test re 10" 12" 15" speaker cabs(and multiples of) and posted my recordings on BC asking for educated guesses on which was which and nobody was able to correctly identify which was which. Not a criticism at all but a lot of folk will make sweeping statements about speaker dimensions and tone!

You mean like play an active bass and turn the treble down a smidgen? 🤣

Ah OK. I know it was £18.99 for a TWIN pack of 4 strings!

£28.99 for the 5 strings according to that Amazon link.

Not all rechargeables are created equal! Get a very good brand and they will match the best + you don't have to last as long if you have 2 sets and swap them out.

Actually the original Tonex Pedal can be had for £250 which is a canny drop on what I recall the cost being on release! Looking at it though, I'd still need to run other pedals for phaser (+ my other part time band needs me to use an Octave & Chorus)... back to the drawing board! LOL

Yeah it was the £118/£128 that was appealing to me initially. If I start looking at £300 I could buy a pair of Tonex ONE pedals... but my budget isn't stretching past £150.

Mid gig, busy schedule, I'd not want to shuttle between modes! I can add pedals but I'm looking for a 1 pedal solution.

That makes sense. Sadly it won't allow a 'clean' amp setting and then a dirty (crunch) setting and then a phaser/flanger setting for use in a set 'on the fly'. I can have 2 out of the 3 but not all 3.

To clarify @bnt - you can set up slot/preset A to have an amp sim and a couple of effects and have slot/preset B to have an amp sim and different effect(s)? I essentially require 1 global amp tone/EQ and then I add either a bit of drive (for 3 songs) or a flanger (2 song). I don't think the Tonex will work for me as that is effectively 3 settings; clean / dirty / flanger. I'll end up having a preamp pedal (which I have a few of) before the Tonex and the Tonex would be set up with A = dirt / B = flanger. Not a one pedal solution. I've just bought a 2nd hand Zoom MS 60B (not the +) which 'probably' gives me what I need but it is not intuitive (at the moment) to set up, to fit my one pedal solution.
