What’s on your pedalboard for rehearsals / Donner TT/ amps

[nix808]

I got one of these a month ago==>

-using it to control Amplitube and Guitar Rig
it's a blast!

So I bought a bunch of pedals and a cheap telecaster for this new project and swoppes my p90 LP for a HB LP.
We get to the studio on Sat and find…studio booked out by another muso ! So no-go..next session not for 2 weeks at least.

FML!
Just goes to show re my gear buying …”don’t count yer chickens before they have hatched”!

Tbh I was a bit pissed but luckily had jammed with a work client of mine earlier that day who plays drums also ( I’m a support worker and client is autistic spectrum ) as he had access to his shitty old drum kit.

Now Turns out my client is actually better a drummer than the guy with the studio. He was amazing!

So also - “ don’t put all your eggs in one basket “

Some of the Harly Bentons got some really nice specs, SS frets, locking tuners etc. Super cheap, tho
reports of their QC are not good, tempting though still. I was looking at a Lp they had with way better specs than my 87 Lp Studio I've had for many years. It would be interesting to see which one actually sounds better, prob the HB aside from the pickups (assuming it's not fu*ked up).

I love that guitar, tho it's paint is starting to crack. it's old like me...

Your Studio will sound better. That's a quality guitar.

You just suck at 'project planning'

? What do you mean ?don’t understand

[BertKoor]

You went to a studio / rehearsal room without it being reserved. At least someone sucks at planning.

You initially wrote a bunch about band forming troubles, but that's edited now. I wanted to say, there's three major motivations for being in a band:
1. Money
2. Just having fun
3. Laying an artistic egg.

It is rare you fulfill all needs in one band.

[Naillerz78]

What pedals do you currently own? If none, get the full Tonex. If you have some good ones already, maybe the cheaper Tonex One is enough.

Hey fellas
So I checked out the Tonex One at my local upmarket Guitar chainstore. I thought I’d record my experience on my phone the shop guy unboxed it new fyi ** Please Turn Up Your Volume / Monitors for best sound and the Tonex experience**
Also NSFW / contains a lil bit of harsh language (lol)


Here’s 5 short clips

This demo is guitar into the amp (no tonex) just an additional test to check the amp wasn’t the issue

Straight out the box I am very much not happy with the experienxe for obvious reasons.

Wtf is going on?

[Naillerz78]

Seems to be a thing

@Peter IK - are you guys sure you tested this unit out before u started shipping …? This is not good mate!!

My ears are still ringing badly. This pedal should come with a Black Box warning sticker on it for Tinnitus.

I briefly listened to a demo that had some feedback, but the tone was good. Are you in a small space with the volume cranked? Then a clean sound, which obviously would not feed back.

Are you putting a full amp into an amp? What are the output levels like? If you’re pushing a very hot line level into an amp, that might be it.

Yes, our products are tested and thousands are in use (including on stage on late night shows, in many worship players' setups, one that survived a hurricane during a tour, etc) without issue. That one Reddit user with a similar issue sounds like there may be some confusion about how to connect and use TONEX Pedal as an audio interface. They can find information about how to do so in the User Manual and if they still have trouble our support team would be happy to assist them. Sorry you had issues, TONEX Pedal typically plugs right in and works great out of the box and even better with slight tweaking. In your case, simply turning off the cab is still running an amp (albeit virtual) into an amp from the sound of it and may also require some tweaking to sound right and is not as optimal as using a full range option for your output (or the return on the amp instead of the main input, etc) but if you need deeper troubleshooting the IK Support team would be happy to assist you https://www.ikmultimedia.com/contact-support/sw

I won’t be logging a ticket due to the fact I won’t be spending $370 AUD on a unit to make my tinnitus worse than it is. That’s absolutely unuseable for me based on my in person shop demo of a brand new unit.

I visited high end guitar shore , worker unboxed brand new and connected go a Fender ToneMaster Deluxe Amp , w 2 new cables & a new PSpot psu. Guitar to unit ->unit to amp ->all settings at Noon and instant EPSqueal. Turn down unit / turn up amp still that horrible piercing squealing.

There must be a better explanation than “ User Error” . That’s wayy not good enough Peter imo.
You’re a sound engineer yeah? Can you at least propose what could be causing that result based on running it into a Fender ToneMaster amp.
I isolated the source of issue to the unit in my demos.

This is what annoys me about Digital Gear and why I don’t buy it anymore. I had the same experience with a L6 Variax guitar 20 yr ago. And similar issues w other units. The same old story and I can’t be THAT unlucky. These units ought to all work out of the box in standard operating situations. ie plugged into the front end of a guitar amplifier. That’s what the unit is FOR no?
If not why the F is it sold as a nano pedal in a guitar shop?”user error” is a ridiculous answer tbh when I think about it.

Quick googling shows me quite a lot of users are complaining of various noise issues with this unit.

I already see another user on that reddit replying defending it with “ oh the factory Tonex psu is crap quality you need to buy a separate better quality psu”. Gimme a break. I see this kind of reply on other forums also re noise issues.

Pretty much all other software is sold with a clear notice re specifications and compatibility .except guitar software . That’s always “sorry -User Error.”

Well the ‘tone’ was EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE every time I stopped playing mate that is NOT “good tone” don’t be rediculous. that’s unuseable and also incidentally very painful and shouldn’t be allowed to happen under the manufacturers responsiblities /consumer rights act imo

Also I could hear that high pitched overtone when I was playing at times also.

I’m going back and editing those sound clips I’m playing too much - the tone of the unit when it’s <<NOT constantly making an ear piercing shriek>> wasn’t the point of the demo.

Unit at noon volume ,amp on 3.5 .
Then unit at 1/4 volume, amp at 5.5 .
Same result re the shriek.

Edit: I’ve updated my demos post to be now 5 short clips showing the issue.
