Pity about the compressor as it sounds basically ok to me. What I can't quite get my head round are the patches with compressors included in the capture. Surely compression is a "time based" effect (with variable attack and release) and therefore out of Tonex modelling capabilities.
I've listened to some with the compressors "baked in" but they tend to sound very squashed, even with high end units as the source.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd

I have avoided the Tonex pedals as I really don't want to have to use a computer with them. I am looking for a simple, good sounding headphone solution. The whole point is to be quick to plug-in, and then practice. I don't want to start messing with software. I had a POD Go for a while and spent more time messing with it than playing.
I appreciate that you can use the software to download new captures - that's fine, I planned to do that after getting used to it. Then set it and forget it. So I'm not saying I won't use the software, I understand what it's for and will use it. However, I don't wish to use it with a guitar connected as part of my practise.
My plan was to use the factory presets for a while. I assumed that you select one, say the Super Reverb, then adjust the gain, treble, middle, bass, reverb etc to suit your requirements. But then how do you save that to the preset?
I've just realised that in the countless videos and posts I looked at, no one ever mentions this.
Otherwise once you change preset or power the Tonex One off, the knobs tweaks will be lost.
Have I missed something, or do you have to make these tweaks in the computer software and save them in the librarian?
Can any users let me know how this works please?
EDIT
Sorted - I'd missed that it has Auto-Save. So any changes on the pedal should be auto-saved into the pedal's preset.
Plugged the Tonex in to it and now have a better sense of what it can do (compared to putting it through my Yamaha THR10).
Some of the stock cleans sound fabulous, especially with the neck pickup of my Baja Tele.
Some of the high gain captures which initially sounded really good through the THR actually sound quite fizzy or squelchy through the FR-10 which I wasn't expecting.
And then there's the Twin and Plexi sounds which are fab.
So now I have a quality amp to hear the real deal, I have to get me some Amalgam downloads...
