TONEX Pedal — AI Machine Modeling on the Pedalboard

The IK Multimedia TONEX Pedal condenses the brand's AI Machine Modeling technology into a floor unit ready for stage use. Up to 150 Tone Model presets are stored in 50 banks of 3 slots, allowing guitarists and bassists to instantly access ultra-realistic amp, cab, and pedal captures—no computer needed. Connecting to ToneNET, the online library with more than 60,000 user and premium Tone Models, players can always find new sounds to download. With comprehensive MIDI In/Out, expression pedal support, and a 24-bit USB audio interface, this pedal can serve as a standalone performance rig in a compact chassis.

What Sets the TONEX Pedal Apart

At the core of this unit is IK's AI Machine Modeling engine, which models the real-world dynamics of amps, cabs, and pedals rather than static profiles. Hundreds of IRs per cabinet create spatial realism via the exclusive VIR system, while a custom IR loader lets users import third-party impulses. Over 1,250 Premium Tone Models curated by IK's partners are included, spanning vintage Fender and Vox combos to high-gain Mesa/Boogie and boutique amps.

Signal Processing Power — Pro-Grade Conversion and Headroom

Audio travels internally at 24-bit, 192 kHz, offering a frequency response from 5 Hz to 24 kHz and a dynamic range of 123 dB. Every detail of your instrument is preserved before modeling is applied, maintaining your pick attack and nuance.

• Converter Resolution: 24-bit / 192 kHz — ensures studio-level detail before modeling
• Frequency Response: 5 Hz–24 kHz — captures the entire spectrum from bass to treble
• Dynamic Range: 123 dB — accommodates both clean and high-gain sounds
• Direct DAW tracking is possible thanks to the USB Audio Interface: 24-bit / 44.1 kHz.

Connectivity and Control — Built for Stage and Studio

A wide range of connections is found on the rear panel, from 6.3 mm jacks to complete MIDI and USB implementation. Real-time parameter sweeps are possible with an expression pedal, and hands-free bank switching works via external footswitch.

• Inputs: 6.3 mm TS instrument, Ext Controller (FS), MIDI IN, USB — covers instrument, MIDI, and computer
• Outputs: 6.3 mm TRS L/R, MIDI OUT, 6.3 mm TRS headphone — provides stereo amp output and silent monitoring
• MIDI Interface: Yes (5-pin DIN In/Out) — integrates with complex MIDI setups
• True Bypass: Yes — dry signal is maintained when disengaged

Effects Engine and Preset Architecture

The effects suite covers studio and stage needs, from essential dynamics to expansive reverbs and delays. With seven FX slots hosting 15 algorithms and pre-/post-amp routing, a wide tonal palette is available.

• Preset Capacity: 150 presets (50 banks × 3 slots) — supports an extensive setlist
• Spring, room, and plate are among the 6 stereo reverbs provided.
• Modulation: 5 effects (chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, rotary) — from classic to modern movement
• Delay: 2 (digital, tape) — for rhythmic and ambient textures
• Utility: Noise gate, analog-modeled EQ, compressor — shapes and refines your core tone

Who Should Consider the TONEX Pedal

This model is ideal for guitarists and bassists needing studio-quality amp modeling in a compact, computer-free format. Worship team musicians, touring players with limited stage space, and home recordists seeking a unified device for performance and DAW work will get the most from it. Those with MIDI switchers or expression pedals can integrate the unit easily, while beginners benefit from the 150 preloaded presets. Some users may find the hardware's menu navigation less immediate than touchscreen alternatives.

IK Multimedia — Italian Craftsmanship Meets Modeling Innovation

Founded in 1996 in Italy, IK Multimedia pioneered software-based analog circuit emulation and expanded into hardware. The pedal is designed and built in Italy from anodized aluminum for durability on tour. The TONEX ecosystem connects desktop software, mobile apps, capture gear, and stage pedals, so musicians can use their Tone Models across all platforms.
