A Pandora that works for guitar AND bass!

The Toneworks Pandora PX4D Personal Multi-Effect Processor combines vintage amp models, a wide range of cabinet models, plus a combination of classic and unique effects for great guitar or bass sound whether practicing, recording, or even playing live. The processor's 158 effects deliver fantastic tones, including 25 amp types from high-end tube amps to rare vintage amps and everything in-between. Each of the 23 cabinet effects that reproduce the acoustic and structural resonances of a speaker cabinet were newly created especially for the PX4D. The creative possibilities are practically limitless. For example you can combine a guitar amp with a bass cabinet.

The PDX4 delivers a versatile range of tones with numerous realistic modeling effects in addition to standards such as compressor and wah. Pickup modeling transforms the sound of a single-coil pickup into that of a humbucking pickup (or vice versa), a guitar (bass) synth that lets you play synth sounds, an intelligent pitch shifter that automatically harmonizes with your playing, a talk effect that produces the impression that your guitar is speaking, a slow attack effect that creates violin-type swells, a feedback effect that allows feedback playing techniques that are normally possible only at high volumes, a rotary speaker that changes speed in response to your picking or fingering dynamics, a fretless bass effect that simulates the distinctive sound of a fretless bass, and many more are all at your fingertips, ready to spur your creativity.

The PX4D Multi-Effect has 200 programs, including 100 preset programs and 100 user programs.

Like other Pandoras, the PX4D offers an intuitive, knob-based interface and backlit LCD display. The TAP button can be used to set delay times or a rhythm pattern tempo.

A sophisticated phrase trainer can record up to 30 seconds from an external audio source for looped playback, which can then be slowed down without affecting the pitch. While in Phrase Trainer mode, users can record any of the 100 PCM-based, built-in rhythm and bass patterns and their instrument simultaneously, then practice soloing over the recorded phrase. The AUX IN jack lets users play along with external audio sources, and a key transpose function can shift the key of the external audio for versatile rehearsal. An auto chromatic tuner with a mute function is also included.

The Toneworks PX4D can be powered by 4 AAA batteries for up to 10 hours of continuous use, or by an optional AC adapter.

This this is ridiculously awesome

Posted by Rob from Tampa, FL on Jul 26, 2009

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: 5 years non-pro playing

Reviewer's Play Style: Blues, rock, metal

I have been playing acoustic for maybe 5 years and started electric maybe 2 years ago. I started looking into effects and wanted a single unit that would let me play around with the various types of effects. I could not have made a better choice.

I do not have enough money nor enough guitarist friends to play with all of the various pedals out there. That is why I wanted a single unit that I could experiment with. This single unit covers most of the types effects you will see out there... acoustic simulator, auto-wah, phasers, distortion, harmonizers, synthesizer.. etc,etc. I did not see a single other unit that had so many options.

When I got it I spent about two hours going through the presets and felt that 70-80% would be fun to experiment with. 30% are sounds I think I will use regularly over the next few years.

The sound of multi-effect pedals is kind of controversial. Many will say they sound great, others will say it sounds fake (maybe like records vs. cds). I would bet that most people who are not pros with all kinds of effects already would enjoy the sound... and maybe someone who already has 10 pedals and a tube amp might feel that it does not make the sound they want. I love the sounds.

The other aspect that makes this fantastic for intermediate guitarists is that it comes with 100 drum patterns with associated bass lines. If you go into "chain" mode, you can put the patterns together and set the note for the bass for each bar. Its like a band in a box.

The phrase trainer is fun to play with.. but this is the only part of the unit that I feel is not good enough for recording. The sound quality is muddy.. good enough for practicing but nothing like a dedicated looper.

If you are a professional musician with a juicy expensive tube amp and maybe 10 pedals on the floor... perhaps this is not going to make the sounds you want. For anyone who is learning about effects or how to jam with other musicians... I couldn't recommend it more.

Unbelievable! Pandoras Box!!!

I just got this little guy in Friday and let me say that when I first opened it, to reveal a small electronic hand-held device only the size of an iPhone .. I thought to myself, theres no way this thing can do all it says it can and it sound great at the same time, boy was I WRONG WRONG WRONG!! Every effect you ever need is here! Along with the Amp Modeling & Cabinet Modeling, and this is also goes for Bass Players also ... The WAH features completely blow Boss's Dynamic-Wah Pedal away ... And you can pay the same price almost for this and have everything you need. Also it will record you playing a rhythm, then you can loop it playing continuously thru your AMP, as you solo to it or whatever you desire .. Do not look any further, do NOT waste money on single effect pedals, get this now!!!

The most inspirational piece of equipment you'll ever buy. This hand sized box is what a guitarist needs in the studio and on stage for easy access to great sounds and amazing tones. I use this religiously in my music and it is apart of my guitar as much as the strings or volume knobs. This should be in any musician's arsenal

Great Tool

I purchased the PX4D 3 days ago and I haven't been able to put it down. The jam tracks are excellant for warming up before going on stage. It is the 21st century "Rockman". Some of the patches are not that great i.e. ( the feed back effect doesn't react to vibrato) but the good patches make up for the limitations. I'm puzzled as to why this product hasn't been promoted more. Ace P.

This Thing Rocks!

Posted by Duncan from Michigan, MI on Oct 29, 2008

Reviewer's Play Style: Christian Rock & Metal (Petra)

The Pandora px4d, is truly a great Box. And every electric guitarist should have one. With Great sound quality, whether on the move, or plugged in to the amp. It is easy to change affects, and unlike some you can turn off Amp, and Cab modeling for use with an amp. Just if you turn off amp model you'll need a separate distortion pedal, but thats no big deal. That is what Boss is there for.

Two complaints. 1. I have thick dunlop strap, and the strap holder wont fit on it. 2. Why on earth is this thing not being advertised in more magazines, and guitar shop.
