What it is
TONEX SE is IK Multimedia's AI-powered guitar amp and effects modeling plugin. It uses machine learning to create hyper-realistic virtual models of amps, cabinets, and pedals, and runs as a standalone app or as a VST/VST3/AAX/AU plugin in your DAW. Beyond the included tones, it taps into ToneNET, IK's community platform for browsing and downloading thousands of user-captured tone models.
Who it's for
Guitarists and bassists who want vintage and modern amp tones without buying physical hardware, plus home studio producers who record guitar and bass and want flexible, swappable tone shaping after the fact.

- AI modeling can capture a new amp, pedal, or cabinet in about 5 minutes
- Unlimited custom tone model creation and downloads from ToneNET
- Integrates directly with AmpliTube 5 and works for both guitar and bass
