Authentic tones powered by AI Machine Modelling
TONEX 2 MAX combines revolutionary AI Machine Modelling technology with an extensive collection of 1,000 included Tone Models. Experience the distinctive character of vintage amplifiers, modern high-gain stacks, boutique pedals and complete guitar or bass setups, faithfully recreated with realistic dynamics and response.
Customise your sound using familiar amplifier controls, studio-quality processing and advanced VIR cabinet technology, allowing you to experiment with virtual microphone positioning. From subtle tonal adjustments to entirely new sounds, TONEX delivers the flexibility to create professional guitar and bass tones without relying on physical equipment.
Introducing TONEX 2 Player version 2.1
TONEX 2 Player version 2.1 introduces TONEX Rig, an optional paid add-on that brings the complete TONEX Board rig-building experience to Mac and PC. Powered by the TONEX Board Engine, this upgrade transforms TONEX into a comprehensive environment for creating detailed guitar and bass signal chains.
Build sophisticated presets using up to 12 processing blocks, dual signal paths, Split and Mix routing, stereo operation and up to four Tone Models simultaneously. Combine different amplifiers and cabinets, position stomp captures before amplifier models or experiment with parallel and wet/dry configurations for greater creative control.
TONEX 2 Player version 2.1 remains a free update for existing TONEX users, while TONEX Rig is available separately for eligible users and included for registered TONEX Board owners.
76 studio-quality effects for complete rig creation
Expand your sound design with 76 studio-quality effects included in the optional TONEX Rig upgrade. Derived from IK Multimedia's acclaimed AmpliTube collection, these processors cover drives, fuzz, dynamics, modulation, pitch, EQ, filters, delays, reverbs and essential utility effects.
Shape everything from expressive clean tones and saturated distortion to expansive ambient textures and intricate stereo setups. Additional effects are planned for future releases at no extra cost to TONEX Rig owners, ensuring your creative possibilities continue to grow.
One connected workflow from studio to stage
TONEX Rig connects software-based sound design with TONEX Board hardware. Create complete guitar and bass rigs within TONEX 2 Player, save your effects and routing configurations, then transfer the same presets to TONEX Board for recording, rehearsal and live performance.
Share your creations through ToneNET, where musicians can discover, download and exchange complete TONEX Board Rigs alongside individual Tone Models. This connected ecosystem makes it easier to explore new sounds, collaborate with other players and maintain consistent rigs across compatible software and hardware.
Flexible recording and performance integration
Use TONEX 2 MAX as a standalone desktop application or within compatible digital audio workstations to incorporate authentic amplifier and pedal captures into your recordings. Integration with AmpliTube provides further sound-shaping possibilities, allowing Tone Models to work alongside additional virtual effects and processors.
For TONEX Board users, Firmware 1.1.0 introduces four-input, two-output USB audio, USB MIDI connectivity, improved touchscreen responsiveness and expanded Scene controls. Additional enhancements include improved processing efficiency, faster tuner access and Safe Mode for live performance. TONEX Board hardware is sold separately.
Capture, discover and share your sound
Expand beyond the included Tone Models using ToneNET, IK Multimedia's growing library of official and user-created amplifier, cabinet and pedal captures. Discover rare equipment, audition new sounds and share your favourite creations with musicians worldwide.
Pair TONEX 2 MAX with separately available TONEX Capture hardware to create digital models of your own equipment using advanced AI Machine Modelling technology. Preserve the distinctive character of your favourite amplifiers and pedals, then incorporate those captures into your recordings and custom rigs.
