IK Multimedia’s groundbreaking TONEX ecosystem, which has already revolutionized electric guitar tone with collaborations featuring legends like Joe Satriani and hardware like the TONEX Pedal and TONEX ONE, has just dropped a sonic bomb for bass guitarists. Introducing the TONEX Bass Signature Collection: an essential library of 150 meticulously captured Tone Models that digitalize some of the most iconic bass amps and cabinets in music history.
End the ‘Refrigerator Amp’ Era with AI-Powered Bass Tone
Dubbed “the ultimate library of bass tones” by IK Multimedia, this collection utilizes the brand’s advanced AI Machine Modeling technology to create hyper-realistic digital emulations of classic gear.
For bassists looking for a super-portable fly-in live rig or a powerful studio tool, the promise is clear: you can finally ditch hauling that “amp the size of a refrigerator up three flights of stairs.”
The Amp Collection
The collection features all the big names and essential sounds that define modern and classic bass playing, including models of:
- Ampeg (SVT-CL, SVT-VR)
- Fender (Bassman 100, Bassman 300)
- Aguilar
- Gallien-Krueger
- Orange
- Trace Elliot
- Marshall
Whether you need the “unmistakable thump, roar, and authority” of an Ampeg SVT for rock and soul, or the high-wattage contemporary punch for funk and slap, this library caters to virtually every style. The collection also includes models of popular bass stompboxes to further shape your sound.
TONEX Hardware Gets the Bass Treatment
The 150 Tone Models are fully integrated across the entire TONEX platform. Bassists can run the software standalone in a DAW, or load the sounds onto the dedicated TONEX hardware:
- TONEX Pedal Bass Edition: Priced at $/€429, this full-sized pedal arrives preloaded with 150 gig-ready presets.
- TONEX ONE Bass Edition (Mini-Pedal): A more compact option priced at $/€199, preloaded with 20 essential presets.
Both hardware pedals feature a sleek aluminum-silver enclosure and are designed to function as a high-performance, super-portable core for any pedalboard. The pedals also come bundled with licenses for the TONEX Signature Bass Collection software, TONEX CS, TONEX Modeler, TONEX Editor, AmpliTube 5, and the AmpliTube SVX 1 and 2 Collections.
TONEX Signature Bass Collection
For those who simply want the software, the TONEX Signature Bass Collection can be purchased as a standalone plugin for $/€99, ready for use in any recording environment. IK Multimedia also highlights the platform’s “perfect” dry/wet phase correlation, ensuring top-class mixing when blending the amp emulation with a direct input (DI) signal.
The TONEX Bass Signature Collection is now available, marking a new milestone in digital bass amplification and offering bass guitarists unprecedented access to legendary bass tones in a modern, convenient format.
