r/tonex

Did anyone come from Fractal? I'm very unsure which of the two has better tone or fractal sound. Tonex sounds more muddy but at the same time the drives seem a bit artificial, but I don't have much experience to say which sounds more like a real amp; could you help me?

I’m brand new to TONEX and trying to import a third-party preset pack into the regular TONEX app on macOS. I haven’t successfully imported even one preset.

The files are unzipped .txp files. Here’s what I’ve tried:

• Dragging a .txp into the Preset Browser and onto Local Library/User Folders. TONEX won’t let me drop it.
• Copying the files directly into the TONEX Presets folder in Finder.
• Clicking Refresh Library afterward.
• Testing with one file placed directly in the Presets folder rather than inside a subfolder.
• Completely uninstalling and reinstalling the latest TONEX version.
• Deleting the local TONEX library data and starting fresh.

TONEX notices when I remove existing files from its Presets folder, but it does not recognize any .txp files I add. Refresh Library makes no difference.

I’m currently using TONEX CS, but I’ve imported zero user Tone Models, so I shouldn’t have reached the 20-model limit. My TONEX pedal hasn’t arrived yet, but my understanding is that hardware shouldn’t be required to import presets into the desktop app.

Has anyone successfully imported third-party .txp presets into TONEX 2.1 on macOS? Is there a new import command or destination I’m overlooking, or is this a known bug in the redesigned app?

Thanks in advance.

I just accidentally recreated something that happened before. I messing around in A5. I did update to ToneX 2.1. So same happened before with v1.

I did contact support a couple weeks ago about it but I didn't know at the time what I did to freak A5 out so there was nothing to do about it, but now I do as it just happened again.

I dropped a amp model capture into A5. Worked as expected. Then out of curiousity I dragged a pedal capture into the signal flow. That stopped audio output. Not only that, opening the mixer, all the 4 faders for the cab, the level lights are fully pinned to red.

Only way to recover it seems is to quit then re-open.

I'm no software engineer, but if such a thing as putting a pedal capture into the signal chain bricks Amplitube, that's a somewhat serious bug.

What should happen is thinking, "okay that won't work", delete the pedal, then keep going.
