ToneX pedal discussion and demo

[Joe Rogers]

In the beginning, my profiling was capturing amps that I personally owned and wanted to keep safe at home....provided the modeling unit was good enough to translate the sound to a live stage. I tell everyone it is not amp replacement, but rather amp preservation. Who wants to subject a rare amp to the abuse of the road..?? Once a multitude of companies started modeling amps, I branched out as well. What it has done for me is alert me to the amps I want to purchase when I get the money to do so. There are several amps that I have been so impressed with, that I told myself if I had the money, I would have purchased it right then and there. Playing through an amp model allows one to get that experience and make the decision of whether or not buying the real thing is for them. Last, there are quite a few of my modeled amps that are simply not available any longer. I'm talking about the rare species which were never plentiful to begin with. An amp model allows one to experience the rare ones.

And by the way, I have had not one, but two amp builders contact me about acquiring my captures of their amps. Both gave me favorable comments. And they were both amps that I personally owned.

I have recently revamped my IR line, coming out with a "Sweet Spot" Collection. Jon, I don't know if you have yet had the time to test those, I have been getting very good reviews on them.

Wiz, are you still having trouble, or have the new amp models I sent to you cleared up your problems..??
