1. It is an amazing step in technology. This has the potential to be quite game changing, given the price point.
2. I reckon the pedal plus a HX Stomp (for all the effects, which the Tonex pedal doesn't have) will be a mega useful pedal board.
3. The tones are NOT yet good enough. But this is not a hardware thing, because you can see on the internet that people are capturing their amp profiles on Tonex, Kemper and QC and the Tonex is able to produce at least as good as - if not superior to - the others. So it instead reminds me of the early days of Kemper back in 2013, where the real issue is that the profiles just weren't that good. Once commercial profiles took off, with the likes of MBritt and ToneJunkie, the quality of tone jumped hugely. And given that those businesses are already set up, I reckon that will come very soon.

Very exciting to see where this gets to in the next 3 months.

But you can buy them direct from IKM, shipping takes 1-2 weeks, my shipping cost something like US$45 and no GST

Have you tried any professionally made profiles yet? Tone junkie has got a free one - I think it's an AC-30. It would be interesting to compare his toneX profile and his Kemper Profile of the same amp
