IK Multimedia's TONEX Pedal Gets a Massive Update- Is It Now the Ultimate Amp Modeler?

IK Multimedia has just unveiled a major update for its TONEX pedal, a game-changing amp modeler that has been making waves in the music industry. This new update comes amidst a fierce competition in the amp modeler market, with rivals like Neural DSP and Kemper also releasing new products and updates.

TONEX Pedal Gets a Massive Update

One of the most significant additions to the TONEX pedal is the inclusion of eight new effects. These include chorus, flanger, tremolo, phaser, rotary, a new spring reverb, and two delays. Additionally, users can now add two new effects blocks to their signal chain for even more customization.

The Ultimate Amp Modeler?

This expanded effects library makes the TONEX pedal even more versatile and competitive with other options on the market.

The update is alsofree, which makes Kemper's new paid updates for the Profiler Player look like a bit of a swizz. It also puts the TONEX ahead of the new Neural DSP Nano Cortex, which only has limited effect blocks.

Another key feature of the update is the integration with AmpliTube 5 X. This allows users to seamlessly switch between the two platforms and create even more complex and powerful rigs. IK Multimedia has also introduced a real-time editor for the TONEX Live Editor, making it easier to tweak presets on the fly.

Limited Edition

To celebrate the second anniversary of the TONEX pedal, IK Multimedia is also releasing a limited-edition white TONEX pedal that comes pre-loaded with 150 Premium Tone Models.

Starting today, AmpliTube 5 users will enjoy a much smoother connection experience to their ToneX pedals. The update simplifies the connection process between the two platforms, addressing a common point of confusion for many users.

With this latest update, the TONEX pedal has solidified its position as a leading contender in the amp modeler market. Its combination of powerful modeling technology, extensive effects library, and seamless integration with AmpliTube 5 X make it a compelling choice for musicians of all levels.
