Recording with Tonex

Recording with Tonex software

Here’s a recently recorded track where I used IK Multimedia’s amp modelling software Tonex for all the guitar sounds.

If you haven’t come across Tonex as yet, it’s a software amp modelling system available in either plugin or hardware (pedal) format from IKMultimedia.

The raw amp tones are really good and in the case of this track, gave me the opportunity to mix and blend some great vintage amps. I used some Fender and Vox amp captures mostly for this particular track. The most recent version of the software also has some very high quality effects built in (modulation, reverb and delay etc.) and this has considerably expanded the tonal possibilities from the software. 

For recording guitar players or online session guitarists like myself the Tonex platform is great to work with and the choice of amplifiers is quite staggering! 

There are several versions of the software available and one is free too! You can find out more about it all here:

Here is the full track, reproduced here with kind permission of Dave Kelly who also wrote and mixed the song.

The band is ‘Passionfix’ and I have been collaborating with Dave and the band for several years now, recording well over 100 tracks! They also have a new album coming out later this year and I’ll be posting full details and streaming/download links here when I have them.

I hope you enjoy the track and the guitar tones!
