Ron, you should do one with the TONEX ONE.

As most of us who have been at it a long time have gone thru the single amp, stereo rack , boutique ,tube no tube amp phase to chase “that tone”. I think this is the best sound I have ever heard from my steel. I purchased a used ToneX and several presets from Joe and Yes, it’s a little complicated for us old folks but it’s worth it. I like the Little Walter preset the best but nice to have access to the other amps. I daily learn something new about this pedal and theirs a lot of help on YouTube. Thanks Joe for your effort in making this pedal a very wonderful tool for our steel community!

Jeffery, I had the pleasure of doing an extensive interview with Joe recently. He includes his preferred methods of contact at the very bottom of the interview you can read here:

Here's a video using the ToneX this past weekend with a band I was subbing with. It's a Standel preset that Joe just did. The video quality is not the best, but the audio is there.

Hey, Ron - Just curious: what are you playing the ToneX though for the live gig? Is it front of house or through a power amp and speaker? Thanks!

Boo, glad we’re both still around!

95% of the time I use the Ganz power amp and cabinet with a 12” Blue Marvel. This time, Quilter TT12 FRFR. Using ToneX reverb and a Plethora X1 for the other effects.

Hey, Ron --

Yes, thankfully, we're both still around. As my Dad used to say, "Getting old is not pleasant but it's better than the alternative!" LOL!

So when you use the pre-amp setting, you're NOT using it with an IR because you have a regular amp and speaker ... is that correct?

Boo,
I use the TONEX One as a preamp into a Fender FR12. I clip the TONEX to the leg of my guitar so I can fiddle with micro-knobs. I also use Joe Rogers’ presets. With the FRFR speaker sometimes the cab settings are good and sometimes they are not. I can easily turn them off. The speaker sounds amazing. Different from, for example, a QSC powered speaker in that it’s voiced for an instrument.

Yes Boo. Correct. All my gigs are not to FOH.
I do have IRs in case though. Some 12 and 15” Franklin and Toy speakers in case.

Thanks, Ron and Jon! I am considering going to a digital platform (mostly for recording) and I'm trying to decide between the ToneX and the Nano Cortex. I have quite a few friends who use the Quad Cortex and love it.

Thanks again for your insights!

Charlie, I am glad you asked this. Because my input is either from an active volume pedal (Hilton) or a pot pedal (Goodrich/StageOne), I always try to set it to 5 because I do not want distortion. One of my Hilton pedals distorts me no matter how I set the off-level or tone. I will try a Lehle pedal, as it has a variable gain.

Setting input at “5” is a good base. After that, let your “gain” knob be your friend. You shouldn’t need to touch the input gain again.

Jon Did you find going from the Tonex to FR12 directly sufficient.. or would a DI be better.. and did you use the XLR out on the FR12 for FOH.

Charlie, with sound reinforcement, I went directly to the FR12, and the sound guy took the balanced line in the back. But for a stage mix, I use an MRX micro amp to boost the signal that the volume pedal diminishes.

I just tried the four profiles I received from Joe.
- Little Walter
- Revelation
- Sho Bud
- Standel
They are wonderful. Perfect in front of my Split Cab, I will try them in my FRFR cabs, but I can say they are incredible.
Joe gave me some versions of each amps and it's really great.
Many thanks Joe !
