A complete stage rig in one pedal

  • AMP / RIG: load up to 150 Tone Model presets to use any time. You can load any combination of pedal, amp and whole-rig models.
  • VIR CABINET: use IK’s award-winning multiple impulse response VIR™ cabinet and mic simulation to dial in the perfect cab tone for any situation.
  • IR LOADER: load any custom IR you like to explore combinations of Tone Models and your own impulse responses.
  • EFFECTS: TONEX Pedal includes a noise gate, parametric EQ, compressor, and 5 stereo reverbs derived from AmpliTube X-SPACE pedal.

It’s all the tone-shaping options you need in a single pedal. And you can save up to 150 presets, organized within 50 banks of 3 preset slots each, giving you endless tones from a single portable rig.

Tour-ready design and features

Designed and crafted in Italy, TONEX Pedal features a compact chassis made from anodized aluminum that can withstand years of tour abuse.

With full MIDI in/out, you can connect high-end FX pedals like our X-GEAR line for a complete programable pedalboard or easily add TONEX Pedal to your touring rack, and use its expression pedal input to add real-time control over any parameter.
