TONEX
AI-powered Tone Models that capture the soul of real amps and pedals.
About the TONEX family
TONEX is built around AI Tone Models — neural captures of real amps and pedals. Recipes here pair an inventory model with a small modeling chain (compressor, EQ, delay, reverb) so the captured amp does the heavy lifting.
Models in this family
- TONEX PedalHardware unit, 150 model slots
- TONEX ONESingle-Tone Model stompbox
- TONEX SESoftware-only, runs as plugin or standalone
Patch conventions on Fader & Knob
- Recipes specify the Tone Model URL on the IK ToneNET community
- Compressor + Tilt EQ wrapped around the Tone Model on every patch
- Reverb / delay run post in the modeling chain, not baked into the capture
Why TONEX players use Fader & Knob
Block names you can search
Every recipe lists the exact TONEX block names — the same strings that show up in the editor or your unit's display. No guessing which model matches what.
Parameters in your units
Settings are translated to your platform's actual ranges — not generic 0–10 marks. dB is dB. Hz is Hz. Time is ms.
Snapshots & routing included
Where the original tone uses snapshot switching, parallel routing, or a specific footswitch assignment, we say so. You shouldn't have to reverse-engineer it.
