What it is
TONEX Standard is an AI-powered amp and effects modeling plugin from IK Multimedia. It uses machine modeling technology to capture the sound of real guitar amps, cabinets, pedals, and full rigs, then turns them into virtual Tone Models you can load into your DAW or run standalone. IK built the modeling to reproduce high-frequency detail with no aliasing, so results hold up under close listening rather than sounding like a generic amp-sim approximation.
Who it's for
Guitarists and bassists who record direct or reamp and want boutique or vintage amp tones without buying, miking, or hauling physical cabinets. It also suits live players looking to replace a pedalboard and amp with a single plugin or hardware unit.
Key features
- Ships with 400 built-in Tone Models covering 40 amps and 20 pedals, ready to use out of the box
- The AI Machine Modeling engine can capture a custom model of any amp, cabinet, or pedal in about 5 minutes using standard studio gear
- ToneNET gives you access to thousands of community-made Tone Models for free download and browsing
- It runs as a standalone app or plugin in VST2, VST3, AAX, and AU formats, and integrates directly with AmpliTube 5
