Tonex One

It’s a 2 channel pedal and it’s 200 $.
Nobody needs another recording interface.
No delay

With no midi it’s useless.

Is there at least a way to combine them if buy like 3 of them? Line having 6 tones at your feet?

When you use a real amp on a gig do bring three different amps?
 
I discovered I have $20 in my account at IK, definitely makes it more tempting.

I downloaded the free version on my laptop and I'm bugged out by two things:

1) Getting the input level right! Apparently for the models to sound right you need to boost the input level, but it's not by any fixed consistent amount? That's crazy. I like that on the FM3 I never have to think about it, and my different guitars retain their individual character when switching from hotter pickups to lower output ones
2) The tone stack. These are altering the output post-model, so they behave and sound very different than what I'm used to on the FM3. I'd actually much rather be able to access different captures that have the knobs set to different positions, instead of post-processing on a single capture

200 bucks for 2 raw tones and no midi, I don’t think that’s a great deal at all.

Yes it’s small, but that’s a lot of money for 2 amps captures.

That's 2 tones via the footswitch. 20 tones selectable using the buttons on the pedal; 20,000+ tones available to download for free that can be assigned to any of those 20 slots.

And reverb.
 
Does it react to a volume knob exactly like fm9?
Is there any perceivable sound or feel difference when lowering volume on the guitar?

I‘m not the guitar volume type of player, but to me its close enough. The feeling overall is very good. I think in a blind test i would just notice the different noise gate.

There are some small differences, but i think as a small backup you can’t get closer without actually using a Fractal.

That’s how you have to see the Tonex One too. As a two channel amp. One clean and one drive channel. For many situations that’s all you need (plus some effects).

Just looked at the manual and there appears to be a way to access 3 presets, clean, crunch and lead, perhaps:

"TIP: If you need to use 3 presets while performing you can leave the browsing mode on and use the footswitch to cycle among the 3 active slots."

Also, there may be some sort of faux midi capability as indicated in this MorningstarFX thread:

I can answer my own question finally.
No, to me it doesn't, it loses the bite immediately, and doesn't clean up nearly as good.
