00:00What's up? Paul here from Guitar World and today we're going to be checking out
00:02IK Multimedia's exciting new online platform, ToneNet. Let's check it out.
00:22What is ToneNet? Well, ToneNet is a free web platform with social features dedicated to
00:27guitar and bass players for exchanging AmpliTube 5 presets with other users and for finding the
00:33latest ones from VIP artists and popular musical instrument brands. It's also open to other
00:38musicians or anyone interested in what's happening in AmpliTube's ever-expanding universe of Tone.
00:44And best of all, you can join the ToneNet community for free. Everything about ToneNet is designed for
00:49making it your home base and community center, for managing your profile, exchanging AmpliTube
00:55presets with other users from around the world, and for finding the latest ones from VIP artists
01:00and brands. At ToneNet, you can check out all the shared new sounds and try them out or upload your
01:06own, follow other users, plus you can access ToneNet from within any version of AmpliTube 5,
01:12even the free custom shop edition. You can also connect via your favorite web browser for everything
01:17outside of uploading or downloading presets, which has to be done within AmpliTube 5. In AmpliTube 5,
01:24you have direct access to ToneNet, where you can see all presets, your presets, and liked presets.
01:29You can also zero in and refine searches with a multitude of filters. You can click a preset to
01:35download immediately or preview and listen to its audio demo. If a preset has gear you don't own,
01:41you'll see the lock button, but you can demo it for up to three days via the custom shop. Presets can
01:47include the entire signal chain, including pedals, amps, calves, virtual outboard gear, and rooms.
01:53Uploading your preset is super easy. Select one of your saved presets in AmpliTube 5,
01:59hit the upload button, and fill out the preset info form. Plus, you can add and record an audio demo from
02:06your computer, or add SoundCloud or YouTube links with it. Then just hit share, and your preset gets
02:12uploaded to ToneNet with your signal chain and settings for all to see. Very easy to search new
02:18presets. Once you pick one, it displays all the relevant info and signal chain, as well as a sound
02:25sample. Let's take, for example, if I want to find presets with Randy Rhoades, I can type in Rhoades
02:31and then hit return, and it's searching for presets on ToneNet of Randy Rhoades.
02:36And you can see all the Randy Rhoades presets from different users.
03:00Let's do Van Halen.
03:06Brian May.
03:36Brian May.
03:40That's a signal chain. And you can see that's his amp.
03:43That's the, that's what he's using. He's also using a Rockman sustainer
03:49in there. And then you can see his pedal boards.
03:55Here he has a battery-powered amp on a 9-volt, which is cool.
03:59And you can take a look at his crazy signal chain, what he's got going on here from his,
04:21his, from his pedals to where it goes. This is the room sound. He's got it in a,
04:27in a controlled room here. And of course, he's got a wet, dry mix. And then of course,
04:32you see all the outboard gear that he's using to get that sound. And then he harmonizes it
04:37on the very back end of his signal chain. There's the harmonizer.
04:52Let's take a look and listen to some of the presets I created for ToneNet. So go under my
05:01profile, check that out. I did a bunch, like a great cross section. I did like one metal.
05:06I did a bunch of Marshall type of sounds. So there's some really cool stuff in there. And I did also some
05:12country as well, and some really edgier type of sounds. And it's all over the place. So take a listen.
05:19And of course, as you dig in, you'll notice that I do like the Marshall type of sound.
05:24I definitely love the Memory Man, and I definitely love compressors. So let's dig in and try out some
05:29of these. Here's Sweet Leslie is her name.
05:49Marshall Wall of Rhythm.
06:08Marshall Wall of Rhythm.
06:18Paul's Marshall Wall of Rhythm.
06:30Paul's Marshall Wall of Rhythm.
06:36This is On the Edge of Break Up and Beyond. This is an interesting, this is a different one.
06:53On the Edge, which is a little more like a pumpkin-y type of deal.
07:22This is another Marshall preset. Hi-Ho! Using All Silver Jubilees. Marshalls.
07:34This is another Marshall preset. Hi-Ho! Using All Silver Jubilees. Marshalls.
07:47Paul really likes the Marshall sound. And I got a very different varieties of that.
08:00Now here's Paul trying to be doing the best Jeff Buckley recreation here.
08:19This is a good one.
08:21This is a good one.
08:22And I'm going to be doing the best Jeff Buckley recreation here.
08:29And I'm going to be doing the best Jeff Buckley recreation here.
08:31Edgy neck driver, this is another alternate tone with using your neck.
09:01Country chime, sparkle, this is more of like my Brad Paisley.
09:31And here's a different alternate take on that, this is country glitter sparkle, sort of the
09:52same sound but a little more different frequencies.
10:07Delayed on the street, which is sort of a U2-ish.
10:14And here's a different one.
10:43You can see right now, I split the signal three ways, and over here you can see I have a chorus
10:50on this one, and then you have three different of this Amplitube style, what they call the
10:57Mini Plex 20, and what's great is I can swap out any one, and then you get to hear what
11:05that sounds like within the...
11:13And then if you want, I'm going here, if you want to hear what it sounds like, there it
11:19had the chorus on.
11:28No chorus.
11:35Of course, if you're using the signal chain, I can add in other effects. Right here, drop it right in.
11:42You can see, you can even add a phase nine here, really go nuts.
12:12I can move this anywhere in the chain, however I want it, and if I don't want it, I can just get rid of it.
12:25Audition different types of cabinets. I can even put a sort of a 410 if I want to.
12:32Add a 412 if I feel like it, like an orange.
12:38Or if I want more of a metal cabinet sounding.
12:39Add one of these cabinets, a satch.
12:41Add one of these cabinets, a satch.
12:42Add one of these cabinets, a satch.
12:43Add one of these cabinets, a satch.
12:44Add one of these cabinets, a satch.
12:45Can they move the microphone?
12:46Can they move the microphone?
12:47Add a 412 if I feel like it, like an orange.
12:52Add a 412 if I feel like it, like an orange.
12:56Add two or A CD-4 if I feel like it's anególacja, bit less during that case.
13:07And it can be taken as an electric thunder.
13:12You can move the microphone either.
13:17Add one of those cabinets, a satch.
13:20You can even get in there, change all the settings here, pan left and right,
13:27move these microphones. You can even get to the VR tech here where you can start moving
13:33the speaker anywhere around, rotate this anywhere you'd like. VR tech. This is cab one,
13:44right over here, cab one, the room is this one. Let's take a look. I can even change the room if I want,
13:53try different rooms, put it in that. You can change the speakers,
14:02different types of speakers to choose from. Obviously, you have your choice of mics.
14:08Then there's the collection. This is where the brands and artists like,
14:13this is like a dime bag collection of that. You can just pick something of like,
14:17that's just the speakers. I mean, that's just that, but you can see the amps.
14:21If I hit amp and look under the dime bag collection, it tells me the amps I'm available.
14:26And the, if I hit on pedals, the dime bag, for example, where is he? Yeah, those are the pedal he
14:34uses. And then you get to the outboard gear over here. We have a bunch of outboard collection of gear.
14:43Where I can add like modulation, even on the end of the chain.
14:55Delay. I also like dynamics, so I like to put,
14:58you can put, you can put one of these in there, add a little dynamics.
15:14And then of course, once you have this all set, once you find what you're looking for,
15:27I can take this, take this thing and upload it to ToneNet. Here, I can save it as a orange
15:35metal, orange metal. Destination, I'll put it in my own folder, which is PJR.
15:49I'll open that up. And then as you can see, the artist is Guitar World
15:57Paul. The name of the song is Orange Metal. The album is PJR album.
16:13Song, I say it's a good riff, however I want to do it. It's a high gain, definitely.
16:18Let's put that under metal. It's electric guitar.
16:24Instrument type, it's a solid body. Bridge pickup, definitely.
16:28Pickup type. And then any keywords I want to search for, orange.
16:36Let's say orange sound, orange. Then I can save this, just like that.
16:42And if I'm ready to upload it, just go like this. And you can see orange metal. I put out all this
16:49stuff. I can even do record a link. I can do a record what I want it to sound like.
16:56And then all I got to do is click on share and boom, it goes right to ToneNet.
17:23ToneNet is a valuable addition to IK Multimedia's Amplitude 5's massive tone studio for guitarists
17:29and bassists. This online platform is community building, if you will, at its finest. ToneNet
17:36is simple to use and navigate through, with the ability to easily share, preview, upload,
17:42and download presets to use among this burgeoning ecosystem of artists and players that utilize it,
17:48myself included. It's wildly fun to use and create save presets, not to mention the sounds of the
17:55gear in Amplitude 5 are flat-out superb. If you haven't already, definitely check it out.
