How IK Multimedia raised the bar with the TONEX Board – the powerful amp modeler we’ve all been waiting for
The company’s celebrated TONEX ecosystem gets a new addition in the form of its most powerful modeler to date
Over the past few years, IK Multimedia has emerged as one of the biggest names in digital amp modeling tech. Its ever-advancing TONEX ecosystem has been at the heart of that rise.
Propped up by cutting-edge AI Machine Modeling and capturing tech that delivers ultra-realistic amp, cab and effects models, the TONEX ecosystem spans the entire gear spectrum from mini-pedal modelers to native plugins.
It’s now been expanded with perhaps its most anticipated addition to date, the $999 TONEX Board – the lineup’s most ambitious and powerful entry to date.
While the TONEX Pedal and TONEX One have both offered pedalboard-compatible modeling solutions for players, the TONEX Board pushes the boundaries even further as the firm’s flagship premium floorboard option.
The new centerpiece of the IK Multimedia eco-system, the Board arrives as the ultimate all-in-one rig solution for stage and studio. It leverages acclaimed AmpliTube effects and AI Machine Modeling technology for some of the most advanced amp realism and dynamic response on the market today.
With its intuitive workflow and five-inch high-resolution color touchscreen, the TONEX Board also notably lands itself as one of the most competitive modelers of its kind. At $999, it represents exceptional value for money and one of the best value pedals of its kind on the market right now.
As well as its accessibility in the face of its ultra-expensive rivals, the tech that powers it is what really sets it apart. As we’ve grown accustomed to, the tones are top-tier. They are widely praised for their authenticity and tangible feel. But the vastly advanced workflow takes things up a level.
The touchscreen offers realtime feedback on Tone Models. Visual depictions of the premium gear captured make dialing in signal chains a breeze. Thanks to its compatibility with the TONEX software family and ToneNET platform, it provides access to over 65,000 amps, cabs, and effects.
At its core, it has 76 studio-grade effects, plus all-new processors, baked in. Plus, you get access to your own captured gear and models of legendary amps and pedals.
The tonal capabilities of the TONEX family have long been celebrated. Here, they’re transformed in an intuitive form factor that makes dialing in complex signal chains a breeze. What’s more, they take advantage of IK Multimedia’s upgraded TONEX Player 2.0 tech for upgraded Premium Tone Models.
Perfect for stage and studio, the TONEX Board offers stereo output, XLR pro-level connections, powerful routing capabilities, dual effects loop, MIDI connectivity, and dual expression pedal and footswitch control.
For guitarists looking to give their existing rig a digital transformation, or current TONEX players who have been hoping for this exact rig, the TONEX Board could be the modeler you’ve been waiting for.
