IK Multimedia Unveils the TONEX Board All-in-One Modeling Platform

IK Multimedia TONEX Board with bass

IK Multimedia has launched the TONEX Board, which it calls the most advanced hardware platform and the centerpiece of the TONEX ecosystem. The all-in-one unit combines AI Machine modeling technology and Amplitube effects to offer complete tonal emulation.

“TONEX Board takes the core technology behind TONEX further with a dual-signal-chain architecture capable of running up to four Tone Models simultaneously, combined with 76 studio-grade effects across nine categories,” the company writes. “The effects collection includes 51 processors derived from AmpliTube, 15 from TONEX, 10 all-new effects, and more to come. Up to 12 Tone Model and effect slots can be freely positioned and routed across flexible signal paths to create dual-amp stereo rigs, wet/dry setups, two-instrument configurations, sophisticated parallel chains, and more.”

The included software features over 230 ready-to-play presets for guitar and bass with 50+ bass presets. A fivei-inch color touchscreen lets you easily navigate and visualize your signal chain, making controlling and editing presets a quick process. Preset, Scene, and Stomp modes aid in live performance situations to quickly recall settings or controlling individual effects.
