Members guitar-fish Posted October 8, 2005 Members Share Posted October 8, 2005 The Tonebone Classic sounds like a great pedal that a lot of people use with their tube amps. I have a Fender Ultimate Chorus DSP, I use a Marshall Bluesbreaker II pedal through the clean channel and it's very good. The Tonebone isn't cheap, I'm wondering how it would sound through my solid state amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitar-fish Posted October 8, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 8, 2005 Originally posted by guitarcapo doesn't that have a digital drive? Which, the amp? The amp has a clean & dirty channel, and DSP digital effects. I seldom use the effects or the dirty channel, it's not that great IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitar-fish Posted October 9, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 9, 2005 It's a very powerful amp with a superb clean channel, and when I use the Marshall pedal it really sounds great. I'm looking for some variety, which is why I was looking at the Tonebone. Being a novice/homeplayer, the amp was overkill for me when I bought it, and I'd take a big hit if I sold it, so I'm gonna have to make due.

Members keramat8 Posted October 9, 2005 Members Share Posted October 9, 2005 Don't know about your Fender but my TB Classic works very satisfyingly well with my Roland JC-77, if that's any indication of its prospects with a clean amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Seth Carmody Posted October 9, 2005 Members Share Posted October 9, 2005 A lot of forumites recommend the Nady TD-1 over the Tonebone classic. Sounds exactly the same with the same options only its a lot cheaper. I wouldn't imagine a tonebone would make your amp sounds like a tube amp though if that's your intention. Can't say i've done rigourous testing myself but I remember reading on some amp site that the characteristic tube amp tone is largely due to the tube power amp section and a large majority of msuicians cannot distinguish tube preamp distortion and transisitor preamp distortion on a blind test. The article then went into a scathing attack on hybrid amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
