Review: STL Tones Tonehub Tracer

mixdownmag.com.au

STL Tones' ToneHub Tracer is a game-changer for guitarists seeking to capture and recreate their favorite tones with remarkable accuracy. Its intuitive setup and effective tone tracing process yield impressive results that can match the original rig, making it a fantastic addition to any studio. However, the lengthy processing time for complex captures and limitations on time-based effects could frustrate some users. While it excels in tone recreation, it's essential to manage expectations regarding its capabilities. Overall, ToneHub Tracer is a valuable tool for serious sound designers, provided you're ready for a bit of a learning curve.

STL TONES TONEHUB: A TONE-MONGER'S PARADISE - Everything Recording

everythingrecording.com

STL Tones' ToneHub transforms the guitar modeling landscape with an impressive array of amp and cabinet emulations, making it a dream for tone chasers. The modular design allows for extensive customization, and the addition of packs like Josh Middleton’s elevates its appeal for metal guitarists. While the software excels in sound quality and usability, it does come with a few caveats: users might find cheaper alternatives, and the lack of multiple mic outputs is a missed opportunity. Nonetheless, the sheer variety and clarity of the tones could make ToneHub the last virtual amp solution you ever need.
