IK TONEX pedal

you mean using the Tonex one as an overdrive stompbox into the big Tonex? Can’t you just do that with the big Tonex?
Too bad that it’s not true bypass!
A single Tonex can't add drive to an amp capture that doesn't already have it baked in. You would have to capture an amp by itself and then capture the same amp plus a drive pedal to switch between them.

Wait, what?
I’ve been on the fence about this for a second.
If you have a good amp captured and run a drive pedal into it, does it sound like that amp with a drive pedal into it, or does it sound like a gainier version of the preset?
(If that makes sense)
I use an HXStomp right now but only use it for amp sims, and only use 2 presets, so the ToneX One might be perfect, but i still use pedals and want the capture to react to drive pedals the same way an amp would.
Should i just stick to amp emulation?

Tonex amp captures react to pedals like the real amps would. What I was saying is that you can’t add a drive pedal to a Tonex amp capture inside the Tonex pedal.

Is there a way to search through the available amps without buying anything?
If someone has already captured what I’m looking for, I’ll probably just pick up the One. Otherwise, I might pick up the original and the capture unit

ToneNET

You need to have a (free) IK Multimedia account to search or filter, but you can see what's available with the Tonex SE version that comes bundled with the Tonex One pedal or in the Free tier of user captures:

Then you can go through and listen to sound samples:

You can also download the Tonex CS app, which is basically a trial version that will let you download or import an all time total of 20 captures or presets for free.
 
Can someone recommend me a good YT to start with? I just got my One and well, I'm lost as hell. I downloaded all the free stuff I could. But I have no idea what I need to do now. As far as messing with it on the PC and navigating around. I was under the assumption this stuff would be somewhat similar to the Helix/Neural stuff. I think I'm outta my element already haha thought I'd pick it up somewhat quickly....I may be mistaken.
