Help Me Make Some Tonex Captures

[slim231990]

Been thinking about grabbing a Tonex One here soon and I just wanna know how easy it would be to make some captures. I think I already have most of the stuff I need honestly, but I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. I'm wanting to capture some of my Abominable Electronics pedals on the LED clipping modes for anyone who might be interested.

So here's what I have:

- DAW
- Audio Interface (with enough outs)
- A good PC
- SM57
- Pedals
- Good Amp (JCM 800)

From what I understand all I really need now is a reamp box and the software that comes with a Tonex product? Also let me know how your captures turned out.

You need a reamp box (I just opted to sell my Audient and moved to an IK Axe I/O with the built in reamper, since it was a cheaper option and all the routing is built in - I'd suggest one of the new Presonus Quantum HDs now, though). You don't need a load box if you want to capture with the cab, but you do if you want to use IRs with them.

How do you like the Axe I/O? I was looking at those earlier today. I like how they seem to market it towards guitar players with the input controls for effecting the feel. Usually the flat feel is what making playing into a computer boring, so I wonder if this interface would help with that.

I like it well enough, but I also downgraded from an SSL AlphaLink AX with API and Neve preamps to the Audient id22 to the Axe I/I, so it leaves a lot to be desired when I'm used to the higher end preamps and conversion... But I think if you're using it mostly just to record guitar, it's great. I sold my Radial reamp box and my Countryman DI because I didn't feel like it was needed with the Axe I/O.
