But the company has another software application called Tonex that uses AI machine modelling to capture the sound of amp rigs as something called ‘Tone Models’. IK Multimedia recently announced that there are now over 10,000 of these Tone Models available for the platform, either created by the company themselves or by Tonex users. Until now, you could play through Tonex as a standalone application, use it as a plug‑in in a DAW or integrate the Tone Models into AmpliTube. But a major game‑changer is that the company has now released the Tonex Pedal, which puts Tonex Tone Models into a hardware stompbox that can be used anywhere, just like any amp‑modelling pedal.
Following the same triple‑footswitch format as the X‑Gear pedals, the Tonex Pedal comes complete with 150 presets that can be called up by the footswitches.
