In this video I’m basically saying: stop comparing TONEX and AmpliTube 5 like they’re the same thing, because they’re not. I break down the real difference between amp capture (TONEX) and amp modelling (AmpliTube 5), and why that matters when you’re chasing guitar tones in a home studio. I run through what each platform actually is, how the workflow feels, and what you should expect when you load them up for recording, practice, or building a digital rig. I unpack TONEX as a capture player (and capture ecosystem), then jump into AmpliTube 5 as the more traditional “virtual rig” with amp models and a full suite of effects. The big takeaway is that these tools can be better together than against each other: TONEX can handle the core amp tone, while AmpliTube can handle the pedalboard/effects/routing side. I also cover who each one is for, the free versions, some practical pros/cons, and what’s likely coming next—especially if you’re eyeing hardware like the TONEX One for a simple grab-and-go setup.
