Modelling stompbox with audio interface

The IK Multimedia ToneX Pedal is a stompbox that offers authentic modelling of amps, cabinets, and overdrive/distortion pedals and comes with IK Multimedia’s advanced AI Machine Modelling Technology and TONEX software that allow musicians to play digital tone models, model their own rigs using the included presets, and share them with other users on the ToneNET platform. This pedal features a USB audio interface with 24-bit/192kHz conversion for excellent studio sound and is perfectly suitable for both guitars and basses thanks to its extended frequency range that goes from 5Hz right up to 24kHz. For maximum usability, the ToneX Pedal's scope of delivery also includes the downloadable TONEX MAX and AmpliTube 5 software as well as a 1.5m USB type A to type B connection cable and a mains power adapter.

A versatile companion

The IK Multimedia ToneX Pedal features 150 presets that can be edited by adding a wide range of effects, including a noise gate to eliminate unwanted noise and feedback, a compressor for a fatter sound, an equaliser for optimum frequency control, and stereo reverb for more depth. This stompbox boasts an impressive dynamic range of up to 123dB that allows musicians to add focus and extra punch to their guitar or bass sound. The stereo reverb function can be used to add particular depth to the mono signal of the modelled amp and send the left/right signals to two mono jack outputs. Users can get even more creative by splitting the amp signal into two mono signals via the two outputs. With its MIDI inputs and outputs, the ToneX Pedal is also optimally equipped for integration into a MIDI rig that allows the stompbox parameters to be controlled remotely.

For ultimate flexibility

The IK Multimedia ToneX Pedal is an easy-to-use amp modelling tool that is sure to win over guitarists and bassists alike, including those who use a complex pedal board. But experienced musicians are not the only ones who will find the ToneX Pedal to be a useful addition to their high-end gear - beginners will have the ideal tool in their hands for modelling tones with an exceptionally high level of quality in a DAW thanks to the included audio interface. Guitar and bass players of all levels of experience can also use this stompbox without needing to connect it to an amp or PC thanks to the integrated headphone amplifier.

About IK Multimedia

IK Multimedia was founded in 1996 in the small town of Modena in northern Italy. Its two founders, both musicians and engineers, joined forces with the aim of emulating electronic circuits using computer algorithms. Today, IK Multimedia is a multinational company with seven subsidiaries in Italy, Great Britain, Japan, Mexico, Brazil, Hong Kong, and the USA and exclusively manufactures products which are perfectly tailored to the needs of musicians, true to its motto “Musicians first”.

Perfect for rehearsal room, stage and recording

With its bright and easy-to-read display, sturdy metal housing, and metal footswitches, the IK Multimedia ToneX Pedal is the perfect choice for those who require a highly reliable stompbox that can be taken just about everywhere, from the rehearsal room to dimly lit stages. The integrated headphone output makes it easy for users to practise at home without disturbing their neighbours' peace and quiet, and the ToneX Pedal can also be connected to a mini PA system instead of a large-size amplifier in order to save space in the rehearsal room. In combination with an external expression pedal, it will also allow musicians to take creativity to the next level during their stage performances. With a weight of roughly 900 grams, this compact stompbox is of course a great solution for those who want to take it with them on a regular basis. What is more, the ToneX Pedal is even suitable for fake reamping of guitar and electric bass recordings in a DAW. The included self-adhesive rubber feet can be applied to prevent the pedal from slipping on any desk in the studio or at home.

In the spotlight

AI Machine Modeling

AI Machine Modeling is an innovative emulation method developed by IK Multimedia that allows users to model the sound of amplifiers, cabinets, and distortion pedals with outstanding authenticity. This is done by recording the guitar sound as a capture file that is subsequently analysed and stored as a selectable emulation model, the so-called “Tone Model”, by the AI Machine Modeling software’s neuronal network. The resulting Tone Models reproduce the emulated tone not only statically but also in every dynamic nuance. In addition to the wide selection of presets provided by IK Multimedia, users can create their own models and share them with others on the ToneNET website. Even the complex sound of entire rigs can be analysed and emulated by the AI Machine Modeling software. In order to access the Tone Models, users require an audio interface such as the IK Multimedia AXE I/O or the ToneX Pedal alongside the ToneX software. Furthermore, an additional microphone or re-amping box is necessary in order to be able to create amp and cab models.

Not what I was expecting

Bruno Nunes 05.10.2023

The unit became faulty in less than one month, unluky perhaps. The output started to make loud noises and poping almost blow my speakers. Sound captures are great, but it's too limited linear machine! Not many options...the PC interface was terrible to use, messy UI! The unit needs to be connected to power supply to be used as an audio interface. The noise gate cuts off sharp not a smooth signal noise cut
Too many negative factors to compete just with the good sound quality.

Game changer, but not for players who wants to play with guitar cabinets

AlesT 01.03.2023

This unit is a Game Changer, if you search for a profiler! This is much better comparing with Kemper and Quad Cortex (I used them both) for much less money.

BUT, if you want to play it with a power amp (like Matrix GT 1000) and with a guitar cabinet, this is not a choice for you. I've tried almost all available monitors and linear speakers (FRFR), but I've never been satisfied and I also don't like to play with headphones. You will ask, why I don't just use guitar amps instead? I play different genre and I like the sound of different amps, but I don't want to spend 20K EUR just for amps.

Con:
So, if you mainly play with guitar cabinet, profiling technology is not for you, because you will never get the sound of the amp alone, but you will hear the whole profile chain. The algorithm that cuts the cabinet frequencies is just an approximation. You have to look for modellers, like Fractal, Helix, Hotone II etc. BTW the amps that use modelling in Quad Cortex are not so good in my opinion.

If you use FRFR, studio monitors or headphones, the profiles are higher quality compared with Kemper and Quad Cortex.

I'll stick with my Fractal FM9.

Awesome product

ETS 02.03.2023

Just a wonderful product, the stock profiles didn’t sound good playing through an amp/cabinet but as soon as I downloaded some only amp profiles from Tonenet it really came to life, puncy and raw tones…
Looking forward to profile my own amps….

great sound, poor interface and software

Bart91 14.10.2023

The sound quality is very natural, the amp simulation by far the best of all the units on the market. Unfortunately the interface is not very intuitive both in the device and the software. I am waiting from IK multimedia for a bigger pedal board of combined technologies from Tonex and Amplitube in one device together with a useful inteface.
