IK Multimedia TONEX Board Guitar & Bass Processor

TONEX Board combines IK Multimedia's award-winning AI Machine Modelling technology with over 70 AmpliTube-derived effects in one pro-level floor processor for guitar and bass. It captures the sound, feel and response of real amplifiers, cabinets and pedals, while giving you the flexibility to build complete rigs for recording, rehearsal and the stage.

Your all-in-one tone hub

With dual signal paths, versatile routing, premium connectivity and a 5-inch high-resolution colour touchscreen, the IK Multimedia TONEX Board is designed to become the centrepiece of your setup. From capturing your own gear to organising tones and taking them from software to the stage, the connected TONEX ecosystem keeps every part of your rig working together. Full integration with TONEX software, TONEX Editor and ToneNET also puts more than 65,000 Tone Models and presets at your fingertips!

Unlimited sounds at your feet

Built around TONEX's cutting-edge AI-powered tone modelling tech, TONEX Board gives you access to an enormous library of authentic amp and cab sounds, alongside a huge collection of true-to-life stompbox and studio-grade effects. With up to 12 effect slots per preset and the ability to create sophisticated stereo, parallel and dual-amp rigs, every stage of your signal chain can be tailored to suit your sound. Whether you're recreating the character of a prized vintage amp or building modern, high-gain tones from the ground up, TONEX Board delivers the flexibility to make it your own.

Ready for anything

From home recording sessions to demanding live performances, TONEX Board is made to adapt to the way you play. Its powerful processing, flexible hardware integration and intuitive Preset, Scene and Stomp modes make it easy to move between environments without compromising your tone. Add a stereo FX loop, MIDI connectivity, dual expression pedal inputs and professional balanced XLR outputs, and you've got a do-it-all floorboard that's ready for just about any musical situation.

• Award-winning AI Machine Modelling tech: Delivers the sound, feel and response of legendary amps, cabinets and pedals with incredible hyper-realism, powered by AI.
• Immense processing power: Use up to four simultaneous Tone Models per preset across two independent signal paths (one Amp and Stomp per path). Plus, explore and load more than 65,000 Tone Models via ToneNET.
• 70+ built-in effects: Derived from AmpliTube and custom-designed processors, with even more coming in future firmware updates.
• Versatile internal routing: Use up to 12 effect slots per chain with flexible split-and-mix routing. You can also create advanced stereo, dual-amp, parallel and wet/dry rig configurations.
• Stores over 1,400 presets: Organised into 12 setlists featuring 60 banks each, with three presets per bank.
• Custom IR Loader module: Import your favourite impulse responses (IRs) and dial in your perfect speaker cab sound using IK's VIR (Volumetric Impulse Response) technology.
• Intuitive design: A large 5-inch high-resolution colour touchscreen and five encoders allow for quick and easy parameter adjustments on the fly.
• Flexible workflow: TONEX Board features Preset, Scene and Stomp modes for versatile control in live performance situations.
• Killer connectivity: Dual independent stereo outputs (XLR and TRS) let you route cabinet and non-cabinet signals to separate outputs. Plus, there’s 4-cable method support and MIDI I/O, with two expression pedal inputs letting you control virtually any parameter, expand controls and create multi-parameter macros.
• Movable stereo FX loop: Integrate your favourite external pedals, including stereo effects, and place them anywhere in the signal chain. It can even operate as two independent mono loops for added flexibility.
• 4-in/2-out USB audio interface: Record directly into your computer without needing an external interface, complete with configurable routing and direct monitoring (coming late September 2026 via a firmware update).
• Plug in two instruments: Two parallel Amp, Cab and FX signal paths can be assigned to independent inputs and outputs, allowing two different instruments to use dedicated processing chains simultaneously.
