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.

Hell yea man! You just saved me about a hundred bucks lmao. I have a IK Axe I/O and had no idea it had a reamper built in. Bought one on sale early this year after my scarlet shit the bed, and haven't used it too much due to having a newborn. Thanks again broski!

Nice! Yep, one of the best things about it!

How do you like the Axe I/O?

I was wondering if these would do the same job as the ToneX Profile making hardware box they sell.

I was even looking at the cheaper versions, like the Axe I/O One, because it looks like it would be good enough for just jamming into the computer. It is good to know they put these on sale sometimes, lol. I was looking at these, or the Focusrites.

I haven't had as much time using it as I did with the Scarlett stuff, but so far I really like it. Sounds great and much more user friendly than the Focusrite stuff I had. I was one of those people who got the first gen Scarlett that didn't have enough headroom, so I sold it to my brother who does allot of rap/hip hop recording and bought a third gen. The third gen just pooped out on me right after my warranty time lmao.

The thing I really like about the AXE I/O is that is has a power switch on the back. The Scarlett I had didn't have this and it was on all the time when my PC was powered on, and I think that has allot to do with the lifetime of my interface. Don't get me wrong I could've just unplugged the Scarlett, but who wants to deal with that shit all the time.
