IK Multimedia TONEX ONE Announced

IK Multimedia has announced TONEX ONE, an addition to its line-up that incorporates IK’s pioneering AI Machine Modelling technology into a format ideal for any pedalboard size. This development opens up new performance possibilities, affordably granting musicians access to the globe's most coveted tones.

TONEX ONE is a testament to compact power, featuring three switchable slots that house up to 20 Tone Model presets. This pedal's connectivity via USB-C allows easy swapping and loading of new models from a personal library or ToneNET—IK’s expansive tone-sharing platform. The sonic potential becomes boundless with the possibility of multiple pedals on a single board.

The device packs a complete studio rig into a mini pedal format:

  • AI Machine Modeled amps, cabinets, and effects

  • Streamlined design for straightforward stage operation

  • Customisable LED indicators for easy pedal identification

  • High-quality onboard EQ, compression, reverb, noise gate, and tuner

  • Capability to store and load over 25,000 Tone Models from ToneNET

  • Dual operational modes for flexible performance control

  • Stereo and dual mono outputs with headphone compatibility

  • Integrated TONEX SE software for comprehensive tone management and AmpliTube 5 SE for additional effects.

Despite its small stature, TONEX ONE delivers dynamic and responsive tones comparable to the full-sized TONEX Pedal, which is ideal for live performance tweaking. Over 200 premium Tone Models come preloaded, with thousands more available for exploration and download, ensuring artists have endless inspiration for any musical setting.

TONEX ONE is more than a performance tool; it’s a versatile studio asset, too. It doubles as a USB-C audio interface, enabling direct electric guitar or bass recording with low-latency monitoring.

Ready to hit the road, TONEX ONE is rugged yet compact. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into any pedal setup, whether you're building a new travel rig or enhancing an existing board. The pedal is adaptable to any guitar or bass setup, including real amps and PA systems, with flexible cab simulation options tailored for every venue.

The launch of TONEX ONE is not just an addition to a musician’s toolkit - it's a new era in sound exploration. Available for pre-order at an accessible price of $/€179.99, with shipping expected by mid-May, TONEX ONE promises to be a game-changer for performers and producers alike.
