After a lot of trial and error, I landed on the Cornerstone Imperium as my foundation drive, with the Gladio SC side almost always on. Have not used the Antique side much, because I’m pairing the Gladio side with some other gain stage pedals on my board, but need to spend a lot more time with it. Overall, love the pedal.

Yeah, I feel the same as you about Tube Screamers. I use a Jam version I love but...this pedal provides option you don't get with a standard or expensive TS pedal. I don't want to buy something but this pedal is to my ears is a perfect alternative for TS style pedal. More gain, if wanted, and so much more clarity- the options that would work well for me. Thx!

I like the options the pedal provides. In the past there were times when I thought a traditional TS didn't have enough output. The mid frequency seems a little lower to my ears, but I haven't used one in years, but I like where the mids sit. Nice job!

I have v2 i like it alot

Never knew about this pedal. Very intriguing features. Whenever I hear my guitar going through a Tube Screamer in a band mix, the whole tube screamer trip makes a lot of sense. This pedal looks like it will do that typical sound but with some cool options for different situations.

You are the guy that introduced me to Greer Lightspeed. Maybe I’ll give this a try.

I don't have this one yet. But the demos sound like it's similar to the Keeley Fuzz Bender, which I do have.

How were you comparing them? Did you mic the Deluxe with the same mic, distance, and placement of the HX Stomp model?

Hey that looks like Phil Wickham’s pedal board…

they sound like r/guitarcirclejerk

I picked like that for like 20 years. At the time I couldn't stand and play. Then one day I came home and stood up to play and couldn't sit and play anymore. Eventually years and years later I realized it was all about which way was I tilting the pick. Now I can sit or stand, but if I sit I have to tilt it back like you do -- except the bevel is then backwards, isn't it. So now I have standing picks and sitting picks LOL

Deluxes can sound different for so many reasons, but the big ones are 1) the speaker, and 2) the tubes. Get rid of all the Russian and Chinese junk tubes and replace them with older tubes made in the USA and put in a better speaker, maybe a Celestion, or an EV and you have a completely different amp IMHO. Do those 2 things to a 65 Reissue and you're going to have an amp at least as good as one of the vintage point to point amps that costs 3 or 4 times more..

Honest and enlightening video. Great contribution, with the right words for the best choice. Thank you very much, Michael.

🤘👍🏿

Does Tonexone work well for electro acoustic guitars?

Which one you got the big one are the tonex won I have the tonex one man that's all I need I can just plug that into whatever amp or whatever anything and I got my clean and my distortion best thing is when I just run it through my amp I can adjust delay reverb gain bass treble mids as I want or see fit I don't ever touch the tone on the actual tone X1 one

Fantastic!!!!

I have a pod go wireless and I think I will do the same. Run the strymon as the amp and ir modeler into the fx loop and use the pod go just for effects 😊

I have ToneX as well Michael, although not the pedal. Just the program and I run it through AmpliTube 5. I love the ToneJunkie AC30. What model do you like the most?

Your "Live Clip" sound demo is an isolated recording which is clean and pristine. How does it sound in the mix? How about a room recording to hear it in context with tje whole band? Not a direct to mixer recording either of everyone else. A real "LIVE"" clip of the whole band. Like a phone/video recording from an audience member?

I put big holes in all the right places, sooo much easier to work on.

Iam 10 gigs in and it already makes problems for me. I love the sound, the tuner update is great, but somehow midi stopped working and I couldn't change banks on the pedal itself... Its a great device! and after a Morgan SW50, a Kemper, an old 70s Fender style amp from Japan (Newport) and ad VHT D50, this thing really is what I come back to. But the damn midi thing....back to step dance

in this amp build I see you use a turret board.... that seems so much more clean and actuate way to build... wish I could do this on the tweed deluxe... but seems the kit does not come this way.... I wonder could I install the posts on to a board that does not have them on there... like a blackface deluxe reverb... sweet build... thanks again...

not to be a smart ass... but you need a sump pump , so if there is another basement flood ... its ready to protect the basement ... right. also you could look into why water is getting in and slop the ground. kind of important... what if the deluxe was on the ground and got soaked... oh that would hurt... and do you have a carbon monoxide / fire alarm in the basement... a little safety goes a long way... after all you seem meticulous building amps... why not spend some attention on safety... love your videos... Im going to build a deluxe tweed.... cant decide Mojotone or trinity ... thanks again...

🤘👍🏿

Thanks so much😇

Michael got the ToneX One. I have it interfaced thru the loop on my HX Stomp. Thus far it’s been kind of love/hate relationship. Many of the capture models sound great and better than the Line 6 models. The input trim is fairly easy with the new update. I’m on the fence as far as the ToneX SE app. The amp model availability is fantastic. But some of the captures with the high gain models are very flubby and need a lot of tweaking.

or you could just put it on a table

Just make sure you use the gel super glue, the liquid will get sloppy and make it difficult.

I've built many amps.... lots of them on my UA-cam channel. Sometimes you make an oops... sometimes the kit designers didn't leave satisfactory space... STUFF HAPPENS. Good on you.

Sounds really good!

Stealing that one for sure. Thanks Michael. Hearing how well that works makes me think of how often people use that technique. I'm suprised at how smooth that sounds considering its just hard cut

Wow, that's like discovering sandwich all over again.

This is my favourite part of building or restoring an amp. I like to get speakers that have a quality I like, be that the resonant peaks or the breakup then I like to get a bias point that compliments that. Then the coupling caps for more or less bass.. filter caps for more or less firm bottom end .. how they sound with my guitars and pedals ..tweaking the input grid stoppers etc. Once you get an amp "perfect" they are a joy. The difference all this little tweaking makes to the end product is insane.

Nice vid and playing! Wonderinf if youve ever used atonex just as IR loader? Im considering it for that purpose and having added benefit of modeling

I really like the ToneXone. Sounds great. I love capturing my own equipment and having a method to play it live. I use Irs with my HXStomp and that works well too. I definitely use these FOH solutions as a set it and Go situation. I just use a few pedals to change tonality. I don’t think you can go wrong getting one of theses. May not turn out to be a permanent fixture on your board, but it fits so easily in a gear bag and sounds fantastic.

Doesn't it matter which direction the resistors are wired in? Meaning, the paint stripes need to be oriented a certain direction? It looks like fun. I've been doing automotive wiring for years and think I could build an amp if the instructions, pics and schematics are clear.

Are you running straight into the mixer or do you mic a cab? Great video, thanx

You should check out the GigRig power supplies! Custom length power cables with no soldering!

Thanks for that again informative video. I was impressed of the recording quality of that intro song. It must be recorded in a professional studio - or did you record this at home?

Nice

What chip does this use?

I’ve been building amps for years. Great hobby. It should be mentioned that Alexander Dumble knew his amps were unique so he coated most of the inside with a black silicone so amp builders couldn’t reverse engineer them. I could only imagine the guys that picked all that out of one of his amps just so I could be cloned. Great channel!

*WHO IS THE WORLD WOULD ORDER ANYTHING FOR $1100, WITHOUTH DEMANDING SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION? YOU SEEM TO BE ALMOST AS MUCH AT FAULT AS THE SCAM-SELLER.*

How do you use it live with just one Swich ? for example you play one song and you have the Tuner Mode...but the next song you want to use the Transpose Mode, (but you on stage and the pedal is is the pedalboard)

My laptop doesnt connect to this the a b window you move patches into says cannot connect...

Very nice. I have a helix and use a tube amp 4cm but the amp is very heavy. I also have the powercab plus but I dont like the helix amps period so I only use helix FX. I have zero use for studio, only live setting or band practice. I dont use IEM and I dont play thru the PA at band practice as its too small. How can I use this tone X? I want to upgrade but not expensive like a FM9. I'd be ok to get a EV PXM-12P. Do you find you run out of foot buttons if only using the tone x?

It sounds mucho better than a traditional Plexi, imo!

Well buy a Louis Electric Deltone. Great Tweed tone on left side with reverb and tremelo and right channel ... black face....You'll be in love.

Crowder! I’m with Skillet! We’ve done a bunch of shows together. I’m their guitar tech.
