Joe Rogers TONEX Presets

Jon Jaffe · From: Austin, Texas

This is a review of Joe Rogers's amplifier presets for TONEX. Others have already reviewed the TONEX pedal itself. I will review the TONEX presets for live use only; I don't use them for recordings. Joe gives a discount for purchasing more than one preset. You can email Joe for his price list.

I purchased six: the Nashville 400, the Little Walter, the Nashville 112, the ShoBud, the Revelation Preamp, and the Twin Reverb. Each contains multiple amplifier versions with different speakers and little surprises, such as the Revelation Preamp, including the Octal Preamp.

The Nashville 400 preset contained a version of Jim Lossberg settings and different amplifier sections.

I found them to be plug-and-play. You set the volume and reverb, and they are ready to go. I found them remarkably like the original amplifiers, though I have not owned a Twin Reverb, Revelation Preamp/ Octal, or ShoBud.

My three favorites were the ShoBud with the Johnny Cox settings, the Octal preamp, and the Nashville 400. Of course, preferences may vary.

What amp did you use these with and how was it set up. FRFR amp or FOH setup?

I used an FRFR amplified speaker—the Fender FR-12.

That's great information! I have been looking at the FR-12:

Have not had any luck with current amps with ToneX but it's been great with headphones and recording. Gotta get me some of Joe's presets.

I have used it with a 12-inch Quilter TT and a Milkman 12-inch Half and Half. For a high-end response, nothing beats the FR-12. It comes with two speakers: a 12-inch woofer and a tweeter. It's different from the average PA speaker with a tweeter. Fender designed it for instrument amplification, not for vocals.

I've used a QSC monitor speaker like that and it sounded great.

I bought an FR-12 on Jon's suggestion, and it sounds great with my old Zoom G3. I'm still setting up my Tonex so I haven't tried the FR-12 with it yet, I was waiting for the new software to come out.

I’ve been using the QSC CP8 since I want to listen more closely to the impact of IRs on the amplified sound. I usually plug in to the effects return of my Roland JC-40, and I’m trying to see if I am missing anything, like trying to see if I can recreate the same “punch” of specific loudspeakers. So far I haven’t gotten very close. But it is all so intriguing.

I had a QSC CP8 for a few days before the FR-12. I could not tame the highs. I can try different cabs with Joe's presets and hear the results clearly in the FR-12. Some of the presets are just as good with or without cabs.

I recently got the little Tonex One. It's so impressive, wow. Just did the update so I can take advantage of a little tape delay and nicer plate reverb with pre-delay. Trying this setup for an upcoming few gigs. NO rig on the floor, just a Black Box MINI (coming soon) thru a volume pedal into the Tonex ONE into a Furlong SPLIT.

Where can I get Joe's amp models for this? Currently using the factory 57 Twin, and it's kinda nice. Speaker IR turned off.
