Description

The IK Multimedia TONEX One modeling amp and distortion effects pedal takes the acclaimed amp, cab and effects modeling of the larger TONEX pedal and condenses it into an ultracompact format perfect for crowded pedalboards. With its incredibly small footprint, the TONEX One lets you stack as many high-quality tones as you need without sacrificing precious real estate. Whether you need pristine cleans, scorching overdrive or anything in between, the TONEX One delivers hyper-realistic sounds to take your rig to new heights.

IK Multimedia TONEX One Connections

Dual Modes for Maximum Flexibility

The TONEX One is primed for any live situation with its dual operating modes. Dual preset mode gives you two fully independent tones accessible via footswitch, like a two-channel amp. Load up a sparkling clean and a high-gain lead tone for seamless transitions. On/off mode turns the TONEX One into a traditional stompbox for individual drive, fuzz or boost tones. With the ability to store up to 24 total tone models across eight banks, the sonic possibilities are staggering for such a tiny pedal. 

IK Multimedia TONEX One

Hyper-Realistic Tones With Machine Modeling

The heart of the TONEX One is IK's groundbreaking AI Machine Modeling technology. This advanced process meticulously recreates the behavior of real-world amps, cabs and effects down to the finest details. Every nuance and dynamic response are captured for stunningly lifelike tone. Play models of iconic amps like the Marshall Plexi or Fender Deluxe Reverb. Load up classic stompboxes like Tube Screamers or Big Muffs. With the TONEX One, you can assemble a rig comprised of the most legendary gear without compromise.

IK Multimedia TONEX One Computer Connection

Tons of features in this little pedal

Using this as an full rig with a overdrive in front and delay after. Love the integrated tuner which saves another pedal. The SW is a little hard to get working but once you figure it out you can download lot of ToneNet presets and pretty sure you'll find some that work for you. I settled on a couple lower gain Plexi tones which sounds as good as my UAFX Lion. Nice that it has built in reverb but haven't figured out how to change from spring to plate which seems to be an option in the SW? Power supply for this is important since I had a high pitch hum when I string more than one pedal to a supply (this hum was not in the UAFX Lion at all).

Love the Tonex platform, but just meh on the Tonex One

I am a big fan of the Tonex (and Amplitube) platform(s). I like the size and price of the Tonex One but not loving the pedal, I am struggling to figure out how I am going to use this pedal. I recommend looking into the Tonex Pedal or the Tonex Plug. I have a Tonex Pedal as well and love it, this is far more difficult to use as a stand alone pedal (not bad if connected to a computer and controlling it through the software. Bought this a week before the Tonex Plug and I am contemplating returning this for either s Tonex Plug or a used Tonex Pedal, If I keep it, I will likely just load some pedal captures onto it and use it infront of my Tonex Pedal, but for a basic down and dirty (snd inexpensive) practice tool the Tonex Plug looks to be a better option. I am not saying don't buy this, just saying do your research into what is the best option for your specific needs, also keep in mind what it comes with on the software side when considering price/value to you. The doftware this comes with is a but limited where as the Tonex Pedal has a lot more software with it, for me the software is not a factor.

    This exceeded my expectations. The tones are great and the editor makes using the pedal that much easier.

    Bought this on a whim. Was a little frustrated at first learning how tobuse the editing software and functions of the pedal itself but once you learn it, its surprisingly easy to navigate. The fact that it doubles as an interface is a nice bonus. Its a bit limited on effects, only having a gate, comp, single fx, delay and reverb available at one time. The amp sims are superb. They sound better than many units that cost 2-3 times as much. My one gripe is the price gouging on the additional software packs you would have to buy to get EVERY tone available.

    The software makes the tonex one practically unusable, it's amazing they even sell these things, just marketing and hype. I wish I could return it but I'm passed the return window, what a shame, it promised so much but delivered nothing but software bugs and frustration. Stay away.
