Authentic tones powered by AI Machine Modelling
TONEX 2 combines revolutionary AI Machine Modelling technology with 400 included Tone Models, faithfully recreating the distinctive character of real guitar and bass equipment. Experience vintage amplifiers, boutique pedals, modern high-gain stacks and detailed cabinet combinations with realistic dynamics, responsiveness and tonal accuracy.
Customise your sound using familiar hardware-inspired controls, studio-quality processing and advanced VIR cabinet technology. Experiment with virtual microphone positioning, refine amplifier settings and explore different cabinet combinations to create expressive tones without relying on extensive physical equipment.
Introducing TONEX 2 Player version 2.1
TONEX 2 Player provides an intuitive environment for browsing, organising and customising your Tone Models. Explore authentic amplifier and pedal sounds, refine your presets and integrate your favourite tones into recording sessions through standalone or plug-in operation.
Version 2.1 introduces TONEX Rig, an optional paid add-on powered by the TONEX Board Engine. This upgrade brings complete rig-building capabilities directly to Mac and PC, allowing musicians to develop sophisticated guitar and bass signal chains within the TONEX software.
Complete rig creation with TONEX Rig
Unlock advanced sound design with the optional TONEX Rig upgrade. Create detailed presets using a flexible 12-block signal chain, 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. Save every element together as a complete TONEX Board Rig, making it easy to recall your sound or transfer compatible presets to TONEX Board hardware.
76 studio-quality effects
TONEX Rig includes 76 studio-quality effects derived from IK Multimedia's acclaimed AmpliTube collection. Explore drives, fuzz, dynamics, modulation, pitch, EQ, filters, delays, reverbs and utility processors to shape everything from expressive clean tones to expansive stereo soundscapes.
Additional effects are planned for future releases at no extra cost to TONEX Rig owners, providing an expanding collection of creative sound-shaping tools.
One connected workflow from studio to stage
With TONEX Rig, create complete guitar and bass presets in TONEX 2 Player, then transfer them to TONEX Board for recording, rehearsal and live performance. Share complete TONEX Board Rigs through ToneNET, allowing musicians to discover, download and exchange customised signal chains.
TONEX Board Firmware 1.1.0 enhances compatible hardware with four-input, two-output USB audio, USB MIDI connectivity, improved touchscreen responsiveness and expanded Scene controls. Additional improvements include enhanced processing efficiency, faster tuner access and Safe Mode for live performance. TONEX Board hardware is sold separately.
Flexible recording and AmpliTube integration
Use TONEX 2 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 additional sound-shaping possibilities, allowing Tone Models to work alongside compatible virtual effects and processors.
Whether practising, recording or developing detailed guitar and bass sounds, TONEX 2 offers a flexible workflow that adapts to your creative needs.
