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.

With the TONEX One, you can assemble a rig comprised of the most legendary gear without compromise.

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).

Controls are too fiddly for live use

Tones/sims are fantastic but accessing them is a serious chore. Why offer 20 tones if one can only access 2 or 3 of them? No MIDI control was a huge oversight. While on stage, I don't want to kneel and fiddle with tiny buttons and hidden dials. I returned though I still own the bigger Tonex.

    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.

  • Return it within the 14 day window and you'll be happy

    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.

    Bought these to use when I don't have to bring amps. These little guys are small and help me dial in my tone exactly how I want. These are worth it for the price point! #sweepstakes

    I've been playing and recording music for over 20 years. I've never owned a pedal that sounded this good straight out of the box. I usually hate presets but the plethora of preconfigured tones available blow me away every time. I nixed my Orange head/cab for the Tonex One for live

    I'm a professional guitarist/producer/composer. My gear must provide clear and reliable signal in all performance/recording situations. This unit allows for a vast number of professional high-quality tone captures. Thousands of dollars of gear via downloads into a small pedal. And, it functions as a tuner!

    I use this for and amp sim and individual pedal use. It is only as good as the capture it is using, keep that in mind. I already have the larger pedal and plan to get another of these to run stereo in and out. THAT IS THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT, I wish it had stereo in (i would pay more it did). This being said, 2 of these is still so compact, it is worth it.
