AmpliTube TONEX ONE TONEX Ecosystem Welcome to TONEX, a new ecosystem aimed at capturing, playing and sharing the best-sounding amplifiers on earth. This ecosystem comprises these parts: • TONEX PEDAL: a guitar and bass stomp box to play Tone Models live.
AmpliTube TONEX ONE But what’s a Tone Model? A Tone Model is the capture of a real guitar or bass rig with all its nuances and non-linearities. It aims to provide the same sound characteristics inside a computer so you no longer need the real rig itself for performing and recording.

AmpliTube TONEX ONE Inside a preset, a Tone Model is divided in 2 parts: amp and cab. Doing so lets us swap any amp/cab module with another Tone Model’s amp/cab module to create new combinations of rigs. If a stomp is paired with an amp creating a “stomp + amp” or a “stomp + amp + cab” Tone Model, the stomp part is tied to the amp and when swapping the amp part, the stomp follows as well.
