Experience hyper-realistic Tone Models
A revolutionary concept in rig modeling, and the core of the TONEX ecosystem, TONEX software uses breakthrough AI Machine Modeling™ technology to let you model the sound of any amp, cabinet, combo or pedal, and turn it into a plug-in, all with a sonic accuracy that's virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. You can instantly play up to 1,000+ Tone Models already available plus browse, demo and download the growing number of Tone Models available on TONEX in ToneNET.

From rare one-of-a-kind vintage amps to modern rigs, TONEX makes it possible and affordable to own the most sought-after gear in the world.

Modeler
Harness the power of IK's advanced AI Machine Modeling technology to turn your rig into virtual models of amps, cabs and pedals (distortion, overdrive, fuzz, EQ and boost) or entire rigs, in any combination.

TONEX uses a specially prepared audio file of actual guitar and bass signals, not just test tones, to capture your rig in true-to-life detail. Then TONEX's neural network computes the machine modeled tone in minutes. The result is a virtual model that sounds indistinguishable from the real rig, to be used in TONEX software and app.

Add your custom skin and keywords to your Tone Models, then upload and share them with other TONEX users in ToneNET with just one click.

TONEX in AmpliTube 5
TONEX works seamlessly inside AmpliTube 5 adding a multitude of ways to further customize your tone for recording and live performance. Tone Models function just like other AmpliTube amplifiers, cabs or pedals. They can be used alongside any gear models you own to build custom signal chains and save as presets for easy recall and sharing on ToneNET. The combination of TONEX and AmpliTube 5 represents the most advanced tone powerhouse on the planet today.

TONEX in ToneNET
Thousands of Tone Models are available in the new TONEX section in ToneNET, IK's online tone-sharing platform for AmpliTube. These Tone Models can be accessed directly from TONEX software where you can instantly search, filter, demo and download user Tone Models - or explore them via your regular web browser.

Online you can explore user Tone Models and select the ones you like, so the next time you open TONEX software they'll be available for instant download on your computer. New Tone Models are posted continuously by IK and TONEX users, and are immediately listed on the TONEX section of ToneNET making it an ever-expanding, limitless repository of the world's best tones.
