TONEX Tips
Get more out of your TONEX with these practical tips.
1Tone Models capture the full response
TONEX Tone Models capture the amp, cab, and room interaction as a complete unit. When you load a Tone Model, you're getting the entire recorded signal path — not just an amp simulation.
2Shape models with the built-in EQ
Use TONEX's built-in 3-band EQ after the Tone Model to adapt captures to your guitar and monitoring setup. A small mid boost can make a bedroom capture cut through a live mix.
3Create your own captures
Use TONEX Capture to profile your own amp at different gain stages. Create a clean, crunch, and high-gain capture of the same amp for a complete channel-switching rig.
4Stack Tone Models with stompboxes
TONEX pedal has a built-in stomp section. Use a virtual overdrive in front of a clean Tone Model capture to push it into breakup, just like you would with real gear.
Make TONEX your default platform
Set TONEX as your default and every recipe will automatically show the TONEX translation first.
