IK Multimedia TONEX One AI multiFX: Tone Model Electric Guitar Amp and Effects Pedal

A surpisingly good mini multi-effects that integrates well on a pedalboard or fits in your pocket. Pros: 1 - Sound : honestly quite good for the price. Without even dwelving into other captures, the onboard selection covers your Fender Cleans, Marshall crunch and Soldano leads. Really easy to tweak sounds without needing to touch the app. Processor latency is definitely lower than other cheaper offerings out there as it feels quite responsive. 2 - Utility and Design : some really well thought out features in regards to using it as A/B, On/Off or even A/B/C in the preset select mode. Quite cool for a micro pedal that you can access as much as this! 3 - Updates : great to see effects like chorus and delay can be loaded in via nee updates. Nice! Cons: 1 - Navigation : it is finicky to use at first as I highly recommend you read the manual! Different button presses and durations will access different things so very easy to f*** things up! 2 - Software Dependant: this unit really shines when connecting it to a PC and using the ToneX software librarian to edit and download tones. You simply cant access every parameter from the pedal itself. 3 - Not Beginner Friendly : from the UI to understanding the software, this really is a weird choice for someone new to amp modelling despite how great and cheap it is. With no phone app to boot (and software license managers needed to download), id not recommended it to those afraid to dive in, read the manual and tweak! Honestly, a really impressive bit of kit that offers genuine competition to Line 6 and Kemper for great guitar tones at a fraction of the price!

Incredible value for money. Superb sound quality. Preview and edit models using the software, then load your favourite amp/cab combo onto the unit and that becomes the default (3 built in defaults you can program in). You have high quality built in reverb, compressor, gate that you can edit using the built in knobs (as well as tone). The output jack is a 1/4 inch stereo - cleverly this can go to headphones, amp, monitors - the unit figures it out. My guitar amp was playing up, I dug out an old multi effect box with amp models, but it left something to be desired, so I researched what is out now that is affordable and I can stick on the end of my pedal chain and will sound like an amp. This is it - sounds great! Ignore the earlier negative reviews - the software is now very powerful and you can basically have whatever amp sounds you like in a little box, stick into headphones or your audio interface or usb direct into computer to record directly - connected via usb it is detected as an audio in/out. Just plug your headphones on and you are away for recording. (Edit: I have just discovered that NAM plugins let you do this for free, so perhaps it's big deal for computer recorded..). I've got it connected to monitors and feel in no rush to figure out what's wrong with my main amp. Only negative: I needed a separate PSU on my pedal board to stop mains hum. If unsure, just buy - you won't regret it.

I wanted a Hiwatt for my DSOM pedalboard so I got this. After 2 hours trying to get Tonex on my mac to connect to the pedal and failed (it doesn't), tried using Tonex editor and that worked. The instructions are useless. The pedal is amazing and the software incredibly versatile. Some of the presets sound incredible, the Black Angus is amazing. Each preset can have different amp models or stomp pedals and each can be tweaked in the app. The pedal itself has two presets in ab mode, or a single one in stomp mode. The flashing lights and modes are difficult to grasp at first but all in all the pedal is a MUST. Get one, you won't be disappointed.

*edit* - finally IK released the live editor for this (march 2025) - and it's superb - functions as it always should have, live editing patches easily from your PC - no faffing about! Pedal sounds great - nice picking response and some really really great Tones that are almost record ready. Easy to edit on the pedal, tho you can't deep dive into all the parameters. That's the software's job, and it's awful, very very counter-intuitive. You currently have to drag a preset from the tone-x device in librarian into the all-presets list, then switch to home mode, and then turn off direct monitoring on the device, only then can you edit the preset, then drag it back. Took ages to figure that out - a really horrible UX. e.g. If you turn off direct monitoring, then shut the software down - then pedal won't process as normal e.t.c.. Lot's of really clunky issues and situations that can catch you out. Can't believe IK haven't sorted that software out - with fluid and intuitive software this thing could rules the world!

Get your fave amp tones in a unit smaller than a pack of cards. Software allows you to capture the tone of other amps. You can switch between up to 3 different presets (search for this tip online) Plenty of demos online. Great practice/rehearsal/tuition tool when you want to go DI straight into a mixer or FRFR system. If you like to access more the a couple of presets you might want to consider the bigger version. Wasnt a fan of the internal presets but you have access to thousands using the online toneNet (included) Personally, i created/profiled/captured my own amp sounds and they have been faithfully reproduced.

Great bit of kit would recommend it to anyone 👌👍

Total and utter carry on trying to get the software downloaded then messing about with footery wee knobs. This could be a game changer but it’s definitely not for me.

Exceptional quality amps and effects in a small form making it ideal for a pedal board. Power consumption is relatively small. I much prefer captures to modelling as they sound far more realistic. Can also add IRs for acoustic guitars making it ideal for a dual purpose pedal board.

I’m happy of buying this pedal as it offers me exactly what I was looking for.

Chegou antes do prazo e em perfeitas condições. Tamanho ótimo para colocar no pedalboard. Recomendo

Top pedaal, de bediening en software is even doorbijten om onder de knie te krijgen maar er zijn youtube guides genoeg te vinden

Great product

ToneX Review: Überwältigender Sound zum kleinen Preis Sehr gutes Tool! Ich habe mir den ToneX aus Neugierde bestellt und war bereits von dem Stock-Sound sowie der umfangreichen Amp- und Cab-Auswahl buchstäblich überwältigt. Man bekommt viel Sound für relativ wenig Geld und das lohnt sich! Positiv: Sound, Latenz und Funktionen Spielgefühl: Das Spielerlebnis ist nahezu latenzfrei (man bemerkt keine Verzögerung). Klangqualität: Der Sound ist großartig, authentisch und bringt Spaß beim spielen. Neue Effekte: Mit dem neuesten Update gibt es nun auch weitere Effekte (Chorus, Flanger, Tremolo usw.), also nicht nur Reverb, Compressor und Noisegate. Letzt genannte Effekte können direkt am Tone X One eingestellt werden, für die per Update hinzugekommenen Effekte wird die Software zur Konfiguration benötigt. Die Bedienung des ToneX One Pedals ist denkbar einfach und schnell nachvollzogen. Nützliche Features: Das integrierte Noisegate ist sehr brauchbar. Flexibilität: Der ToneX arbeitet auch sehr gut mit vorgeschalteten Overdrive-Pedalen zusammen. Voreinstellungen: Es ist praktisch, dass man zwei zuvor konfigurierte Amps direkt durch drücken des Fußschalters mit dem Gerät abrufen bzw. hin und her schalten kann. In meinem Fall habe ich einen Cleanen Boogie und einen auf HighGain getrimmten Engl konfiguriert. Anschlussmöglichkeiten: Man kann das Pedal direkt an einen aktiven Monitor/ Mischpult, über Kopfhörer oder mithilfe eines Poweramps direkt an der eigenen 4x12er Box betreiben. Software, Registrierung und Potenzial Software & Registrierung: Die Software ist etwas sperrig, und das Produkt muss registriert werden, damit alles ordnungsgemäß am Laptop/PC funktioniert. Einstellmöglichkeiten und Bedienung Die Software bietet detaillierte Einstellmöglichkeiten: Man kann alle erdenklichen Regler, Mikrofonpositionen und Klangeigenschaften präzise justieren. Der schiere Umfang ist beeindruckend und für den einfachen Gitarristen womöglich zu viel – dennoch bleibt die Oberfläche stets überschaubar. Wenn man sich ein wenig mit der Software beschäftigt, findet man sich schnell zurecht. Alternativ kann man einfach die vorgefertigten Tonemodelle nutzen. Zusätzliche Funktionen: Das ToneX funktioniert außerdem als Audio-Interface, sodass man via USB direkt einspielen und aufnehmen kann. Das Laden von Impulse Responses (IRs) funktioniert ebenfalls problemlos. ToneX Cloud: Dank der ToneX Cloud sind die Auswahlmöglichkeiten schier unendlich. Ich hatte viel Spaß beim Rumprobieren und beim Kreieren neuer Sounds. Wunsch/Kritikpunkt Mobile App fehlt: Schade, dass es keine Android-App gibt. Dann wäre das Produkt noch flexibler, und ich würde für diese Option auch einen Aufpreis zahlen. Fazit: Für circa 150 bis 180 Euro ist das Produkt unschlagbar und ein absoluter No-Brainer (PFLICHTKAUF für alle Gitarristen!)
