IK Multimedia TONEX ONE — AI Machine Modeling in a Mini Pedal

The IK Multimedia TONEX ONE puts the brand's AI Machine Modeling technology into an ultra-compact stompbox, giving guitar and bass players access to hyper-realistic captured amp, cabinet and pedal tones anywhere on the pedalboard. It is the right choice for musicians who want studio-grade rig tones without hauling a full amp and cab to every gig. With up to 20 onboard Tone Models, a built-in USB-C audio interface and a footprint of just 48 × 94 × 53 mm, the unit delivers unlimited tone in a package small enough to chain multiple units for stereo or stacked rigs.

What Sets It Apart in the Amp Modeler Category

Unlike generic impulse-response modelers, this pedal uses IK's AI Machine Modeling engine to capture the entire behavior of real amps and stompboxes — not just a static snapshot. The onboard VIR multi-IR cabinet engine pairs with a custom IR loader, while the free TONEX Editor software lets players tweak any preset in real time over USB-C. Two Performance Modes (Stomp and Dual A/B) and 9 customizable micro-knob LED colors make the unit behave like both a stompbox and a preset switcher on the same hardware.

Tone Modeling & Preset Architecture — Capture Every Rig

At the heart of the unit is IK's AI Machine Modeling technology, which lets players load any combination of amp, amp+cab, combo or pedal captures and save them as presets. The pedal ships with 250+ Premium Tone Models and is preloaded with 20 gig-ready presets using 13 bonus captures from TONEX MAX/Reg, so it is ready to play straight out of the box.

• Preset Capacity: 20 onboard presets with 3 assignable slots per preset
• Tone Model Library: 60,000+ user Tone Models on ToneNET — download complete rigs by artist, song, genre or style
• Onboard IR Engine: VIR multi-IR cabinets plus custom IR loader for full speaker simulation

Onboard Signal Processing — Studio Effects at Your Feet

Every preset can be shaped on stage without a computer, thanks to a 3-band EQ plus a dedicated alternate menu that exposes the noise gate, compressor, gain and reverb. The micro knobs are RGB-backlit so each preset can be color-coded for instant visual identification during a set.

• EQ Section: Bass, Middle and Treble — classic 3-band tone stack for fast on-stage tweaks
• Alternate Controls: Gate, Comp, Reverb and Gain — accessed via the Alt button for deeper sound shaping
• Smart Tuner: Onboard chromatic tuner with Thru and Mute modes, engaged by holding the footswitch for 3 seconds

Connectivity & Hardware — Pedalboard-Ready Design

Built to drop onto any size board, the unit measures just 48 × 94 × 53 mm and weighs only 160 g, so multiple pedals can be chained for stereo or tone-stacking setups. Power comes from a standard 9V DC center-negative supply at 120 mA, or directly via the USB-C cable from a computer or phone.

• Input: 1/4" (6.3 mm) TS mono — accepts guitar, bass or other pedals
• Output: 1/4" (6.3 mm) TRS — switchable between stereo, dual mono and headphone operation
• USB-C Port: 24-bit / 44.1 kHz audio interface — preset management and direct recording on Mac/PC
• Power: 9V DC, 120 mA center-negative or USB-C bus power

Who the TONEX ONE Is For

The TONEX ONE is the right choice for gigging guitarists and bassists who need a wide palette of authentic amp tones in a pedalboard-friendly format. Travel players benefit from the 160 g weight and bus-powered USB-C option, while home recordists can plug straight into a DAW without a separate interface. Players who already own a Helix, HX Stomp or Quad Cortex will find it a strong companion for fly rigs and silent stage setups where controlling stage volume is essential.

IK Multimedia & the TONEX Ecosystem

IK Multimedia has built the TONEX ONE as part of a wider TONEX ecosystem that includes the full-size TONEX Pedal, the TONEX ONE+ with Bluetooth and MIDI, the TONEX Plug and the TONEX Mac/PC software. Captures made with the included TONEX SE software can be loaded across the entire ecosystem, so a player's personal rig travels with them from the studio to the stage and onto iOS devices. The pedal ships with TONEX SE, the free TONEX Editor and AmpliTube 5 SE software, expanding its value well beyond the hardware alone.
