The IK Multimedia TONEX Board is a digital floor unit built around the company's TONEX amp and effects modeling platform1. It uses ultra-low noise 24-bit/192 kHz audio converters1, and IK Multimedia lists it in Europe at €999,99 excluding VAT (€1.199,99 including VAT)1.

Inputs, outputs and MIDI

The TONEX Board takes a stereo input that IK Multimedia says accommodates guitar, bass, keyboards, synths, grooveboxes and similar sources, so it is not a guitar-only box1. On the output side it carries dual independent stereo outputs, which lets you route cabinet and non-cabinet signals separately1. For control, there is full MIDI implementation via 5-pin DIN MIDI IN/OUT, plus 2 external control inputs that each accept an expression pedal or EXT Control connection1.

Presets, processing and workflow

The unit stores up to 1,440 presets across 12 setlists, arranged as 60 banks with 3 presets per bank1. Each preset can run up to 4 simultaneous Tone Models, 1 Amp and 1 Stomp per path, and each chain can hold up to 12 effect slots1.

Three workflow modes cover different playing styles1:

  • Preset Mode
  • Scene Mode
  • Stomp Mode
