NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Damn that looks tasty Reg!! Once I figure out the swirl marks issue I’ll do some proper pics and post in my other thread. I just had to put it together to see how it sounded though! I’d be buffing the swirls out if they’re not too deep I think one of the cutting compounds was the problem, I’ll go b...

Post spray, start sanding with say 800 grit until it's smooth. Then I go up to 1200 and then 2000. Then I go to 3000 and then 5000. Each sand is easier than the last. Finally, use car polish. The result is a flawless finish. Use wet and dry paper up to 2000, then at Wairau Paint buy two pads for sa...

I have. You can adjust them but not in detail - just like the knobs on the main unit (ie overall level) I wondered that, so on the original unit you can deep dive in the menu and adjust the type of reverb from Plate, spring etc and adjust the length of decay and other things. Seems as though the sm...

Has anyone else got the ToneX one yet?
Am I right in thinking you can’t adjust the parameters of the compressor and the reverb like on the bigger unit? It’s just a level control for each? I’ve skimmed the manual and I don’t see anything about it in the global menu settings.

where did you buy them from? Sweetwater, I rang around NZ dealers but they weren’t even sure if they were going to order any in as the first version Tonex didn’t sell very well. Apparently direct imports brought in 10 original Tone x’s into NZ and only 6 have sold so far. That’s the NZ market for y...

My 2 x TONEX ones turned up yesterday, currently trying to figure out my favourite captures and how to best run a stereo rig. So far so good! It’s awesome! where did you buy them from?

Honestly probably couldn’t replicate it exactly, was a bit of trial and error which happened to work out I think.

Currently playing another guitar Lostinverness built for me a few years back! Soon it will be just his builds!

Had my first attempt at spraying a burst today and although not perfect (couple of runs etc) the look is certainly what I had hoped for. I was going for a faded lemon/honey burst type look. Not a huge fan of red in bursts, I much prefer the faded 58 almost plain top look. Back when they used Anilin...

What it looked like 2 days ago, and after today’s effort.
Sapele body stained cherry red, mahogany neck and maple top.
Fretboard is a dark hard wood that I can’t remember the name of, trying to replicate ebony was the goal.

Well my original Tone X with midi might be for sale soon (along with many others no doubt) so you’re in luck!
