Most readers of this mag will know IK Multimedia for its AmpliTube amp and effects software and for its X‑Gear pedals, which we reviewed back in issue 482. 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. These have been filled by IK Multimedia with some great fully processed and ready‑to‑use rigs with plenty of tweaking available from its front panel, so it could be used straight out of the box without a computer in sight. However, it is part of the overall Tonex ecosystem and comes complete with the Tonex Max software and AmpliTube 5, so by connecting it to a computer and linking with that Tonex software you’ll really maximise its potential.

BASIC INSTINCTS
The sophisticated range of Swedish-designed guitars made by .strandberg* has lured thousands of players over to the headless side. But the company's new stripped-back Boden Essential model is its strongest play yet for the hearts and minds of mainstream players
Second String
As PRS's more affordable USA-made S2 line moves into its second decade, the series gets a revamp with - at last - USA-made pickups and electronics. What took so long?
PABLO VAN DE POEL
When a band from The Netherlands describes themselves as 'raw, psychedelic Southern rock', it may take a little cognitive processing to work out what that might mean. One listen to DeWolff, however, and you will be duly transported to the 60s for some fuzzed-out rock 'n' roll
THE BERNIE MARSDEN COLLECTION
With a fabulous collection of the late Bernie Marsden's guitars, amps and other highly collectable music gear going under the auctioneer's hammer on 11 June, we were thrilled to have the chance of a sneak preview
LENNY KRAVITZ
Some 35 years since the release of his debut LP, for his 12th record, Blue Electric Light, Lenny Kravitz is back again with equal doses of vigour and vibes, using vintage guitars and the purest valve amps
GEORGE VJESTICA
You may not know him at first glance, but the work of Stoke-on-Trent native George Vjestica has probably impacted some of your favourite albums and movies
DICKEY BETTS
Emerging from the shadow of Duane to write signature hit Ramblin' Man, the Allman Brothers guitarist was a hard-living pioneer of Southern rock
NICK GUPPY
It is with great sadness that we report the passing of our highly valued amplifier guru, who died suddenly in April
Lucky Break
Alex Bishop blends old wood with new in an attempt to fix a severely damaged guitar headstock
Tones Behind The Tracks
Cedric Burnside learnt at the knee of his fabled grandfather, but his latest album is a hill country blues masterclass on his own terms
