Got an IK Multimedia Tonex One pedal but frustrated it can’t be controlled by MIDI? You’re not alone! The Tonex One is an incredible little box that plays high-quality amp captures, effects, delays, reverbs, modulation, compression — basically your whole guitar rig in one budget-friendly pedal. But… it lacks MIDI control. LINK to PIRATE MIDI Tonex One Thomann Link Enter Pirate MIDI’s Polar series. Using Greg Smith’s software, these compact controllers finally let you control every single parameter of your Tonex One — presets, amps, cabs, reverbs, delays, modulation, tap tempo, and more — using devices like the M-Vave Chocolate, MIDI Captain, or even older MIDI footswitches. In this video, I demo the Polar Mini (and other Polar devices) with Tonex One and show how to integrate different MIDI controllers into your setup. Whether you want simple preset changes or deep parameter control, this is a game-changer for the Tonex community. 👉 This is NOT a sponsored video (I bought this myself) — but Pirate MIDI reached out afterwards, so more deep dives are coming! And! Is it better than the Valeton GP-5? ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 – Intro: The problem with Tonex One and MIDI 1:15 – What the Tonex One can (and can’t) do 2:50 – The solution: Pirate MIDI Polar range explained 4:30 – Full parameter control via web browser (amps, cabs, effects, EQ, etc.) 6:20 – Demo with M-Vave Chocolate + Polar Mini (Bluetooth control) 8:10 – Clean, crunch, and lead sound examples 10:45 – Using banks + turning effects on/off in real time 14:05 – Demo with MIDI Captain (momentary flanger, rotary, chorus) 17:30 – Even old MIDI footswitches work (Boss FC-50 demo) 19:20 – Why Polar + Tonex One is better than bigger rigs for live use 21:00 – Honest thoughts + why this is staying on my pedalboard 23:00 – Outro + Pirate MIDI joke 🤘 #TonexOne #IKMultimedia #PirateMIDI #PolarMini #MVaveChocolate #MIDICaptain #GuitarPedals #GuitarRig #MIDIGuitar #AmpCapture #GuitarEffects #GuitarGear #Pedalboard #GuitarCommunity #ToneChasers #GuitaristLife
