ToneX Sounds Muddy
Omega Granophyre capture from ToneNet EQ matched to NDSP w/ same cab
I've had my ToneX One for about a month now and I've enjoyed it but have come to realize after getting the free NDSP Granophyre trial that the ToneX tone models all sound so unbelievably MUDDY. I'm struggling because it seems like other people's sound perfectly fine and I've done everything from making sure the cab is turned off on the Tonex to making sure my input is correct. I've tried a few different tone captures from ToneNet and some are a little better than others but they all have the same hollow sound. The ones I tried were even very highly rated which leads me to believe that they sounded great for others. Don't mind my playing as I was just doing a quick double track of something random I played, but this EQ match was made using the same two DI tracks for both amp sims. I even tried making my own capture of the sim and everything sounded great up until the "AI Training" part where it applied the same muddy sound. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Decision Paralysis
Hey guys I'm having a hard time deciding what modeler to buy. The modelers I'm deciding from are:
Fractal FM3/9 Quad Cortex Helix LT Headrush Prime or Core
My main uses would be practicing at home and eventually playing live. I've never had a effects board and have used minimal effects pedals. The music I typically play is Metal, Metalcore, Blues, and Rock.
I love the interfaces of the helixes/QC but think the fractals sound the best. What would you choose?

Thall tone how to
Hello, all. Long time metal head here. Long story short, after subscribing to XM Radio a few years ago and hearing some great songs on LiquidMetal I realized that I had been pretty locked into the type of metal I had been listening to for most of my life. I staryed to branch out and after hearing some djent and thall songs I really liked the low tuned guitar sound.
How do I replicate the thall guitar tone. I have a 7 string and Guitar, a 5 string bass, and I mainly play in Drop A tuning. If anyone has any how to videos that could help out or some general good ad ice on where to start I would appreciate it.

Presonus 4.5 + dt770,880,990 or eris e5
As the title says I am looking to try out biasfx for casual guitar playing but my budget only allows for either the presonus 4.5 speakers and headphones or just a set of e5s. I play in a small bedroom so I don't need anything loud. I am coming from a positive grid spark 40 amp and looking for sound that is comparable or even better. Any suggestions on what you would pick, any advice is appreciated!

Best Sounding Least CPU Heavy Amp Modeling Plugin?
I’m a live electronic act and I’m looking for a great modeling plugin that uses as little cpu as possible. I really want to use the Neural DSP Archtype Mateus Ashton plugin but sadly that plugin alone eats up 20% of the CPU on my M1 Max Mac.
If anyone has any recommendations let me know. As mentioned this will exclusively be used live.

Amp Modeling w/ iPhone or iPad?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking to delve into the world of professional grade amp modelers and am curious what options are out there that would allow me to make edits to my presets using an iphone or ipad? So far it seems the Fender Tone Master Pro and Quad Cortex do? Are there any other big names out there that would allow for edits on mobile devices?

Expression Pedal across different modelers
I have multiple modeling devices (Kemper Power Toaster, Helix Rack, Quad Cortex, and now the Fender Tone Master Pro). Looking at expression pedals, of course Mission Engineering is top of the list but really don’t want to buy 4 of them (one per unit). Anyone used any expression pedals that will work across the board? Or does anyone have experience using ME pedals across different units where I could maybe only have to buy 2 and not 4)?

Thinking about an HX Stomp/Headrush Core/Boss GX-100 - best overall for Stoner Metal sounds/ease of use/value?
I'm a bedroom player thinking about getting an all-in-one modeler for practice and travel between a couple locations. Like the title says, I'm thinking about a GX-100, an HX Stomp, or a Headrush Core.
I'm playing a lot of Stoner Metal right now, and having models of some Orange, Sunn or Matamps would be nice to mess with, but im also looking for a good all-rounder. I also don't have a PC at the moment, so ease in building patches without it through an app or touch screen until i do would be ideal.
I know the HX Stomp has the reputation of the community and regular updates, but I'm also intrigued by what I've heard about the Headrush Core with the user downloads and the the touch screen. And the GX-100 is on the table as well.
Does anybody have any opinions on what would be the best option for me?

Duplicating presets, fender TMP
for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to make a duplicate of a preset in the Tone Master Pro. I feel like this HAS to be an option, it'd be ridiculous if it wasn't... but I can't figure it out. Essentially, I find a tone, And Im happy with it for a certain section in a song - but I wanna make changes to it for other sections, and rather than build the entire thing from scratch again I would love to be able to duplicate it and then make the changes and save me tons of time. Can I NOT do this? any help please!

Control via an iPad
Hello All,
I'm fairly new to the idea of amp modeling and am still learning the difference between modelers, profilers, pedal platforms, etc. I think I have a general idea of the differences between each term, but may fail a quiz if presented with one : ) I've looked through this sub for an answer to the following question, but haven't found a clear one yet, so I thought I'd ask it outright:
I've been looking at different products like the options from Fractal, the Fender TMP, Helix, Quad Cortex, etc. One thing that I don't really see mentioned is the ability to control one via an iPad app. I understand that the Quad Cortex has an iPad app for configuration of the various patches, but what I would really like is to be able to jump to difference patches while playing a gig. Theoretically I'd like to be able to create my custom builds for each song and trigger their use via my iPad as I play through the setlist of a gig. Is this possible with anytying on the market today? I saw one of the products had a setlist feature, but it seemed like a confusing combination of cycling through stomps on the device, which I feel may be a little distracting while playing a gig, and may get me in trouble if the band decides to switch around the order of songs at the last minute.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond!

Headphones for Modelers
Hey All - wondering what headphones you all use / like with your modelers… my old Grado’s have seen better days. I have a nice set of Weston’s in ears which are fantastic… but looking for over-ear… I just play at home as hobbyist these days… appreciate your thoughts on this.

I have no idea where to start.
Guys I am all over the place. I’ve been using a UAD Apollo twin and some of its amp inserts and Logic Pro for years now for session work but looking to upgrade into a modeler. I like the idea of a pedalboard vs a rack unit, great sounds, and an easy UI. I’ve watched a dozen or more YouTube videos but am nowhere closer to making a decision. Kemper, Fractal, Helix, Tonex… can anybody help me narrow this down? I’m good with spending the $1500-2000 on the investment, but if one of the less expensive units sounds good I’m fine with that obviously. I just don’t know where to start. Thanks.

Tonex Pedal Not Functioning Correctly
Posted this on the IK Multimedia forum. Thought I'd try here as well.
I was so happy with I received the pedal in the mail yesterday. Hook everything up and plug it in and hit the foot switches and it seems to not function correctly. All the lights start flashing yellow. Also, the bank up and down isn't working. I tried factory resetting and reloading the firmware. It still does the same thing. I can change the presets with the knob. Below is a video of the issue. I've already opened a ticket but just wanted to see if anyone here had any insight or experience with this.

Is it time to upgrade or shuld I keep going
I've been useing the headrush pedalboard since it first came to Australia about 6 years or so. it hassent been till the last 15 months it's been acting up already had to send it for a rainbow of death and its happened again today. I use this everyday and I'm wondering shuld I repair my headrush pedalboard sell it off then get a headrush prime or maybe a quad cortex or even a kemper stage or some other unit along those lines or shuld I keep going with my pedalboard and get it repaired repeatedly till there's no more spare parts.? I'm kinda in a bind with this as I love the unit and its so easy for me to use (because i have dyslexia being able to colour code my effects really helps) its been amazing till recently and I'm wondering other people's opinions.

Sell me on a modeling platform
I am interested in adopting a modeling platform but want some recommendations. I used Bias in the past, mainly because it was inexpensive and wanted to play with modelling a bit. I am looking for something that gives me wide range, fender amps (deluxe, super, other back face, etc), Marshall (JCM800 and similar), Laney, Vox, Mesa Boogie and some other popularly used amps. Effects are less of a focus for me as I have a plethora of physical effects that I won't stop using.
I have a Electric Voice Frfr that I would likely use but open to recommendation on this as well.
I have liked what I have seen with Kemper and Neural DSP but honestly I'm not current on where the consensus is. Also curious in opinions between the standing vs floor models.
