Harnessing revolutionary AI machine modeling technology, the Amplitube TONEX Tone Creator from IK Multimedia is an incredible and sophisticated software program that can turn your amps, cabs, pedals, or entire rig setup into virtual models and plug-ins, using your real guitar and bass signals and IK's neural network to compute machine modeled tones in mere minutes. The resulting model is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing and can be used standalone, as a DAW plug-in, or within the vast TONEX ecosystem, including IK's Amplitube 5.

TONEX comes pre-loaded with a high-quality selection of 40 amps, 20 pedals, and 400 tone models, with many more available on ToneNET, where you can browse, demo, and download models as well as upload your own custom creations. TONEX can even be used to create custom IRs, including a built-in VIR cabinet player with multiple IRs per cabinet and is available in AAX, Audio Unit, VST2, and VST3 formats for wide compatibility with numerous DAWs on macOS or Windows PC.

Harness the power of IK’s advanced AI Machine Modeling technology to turn your rig into virtual models of amps, cabs, and pedals (distortion, overdrive, fuzz, EQ, and boost) or entire rigs in any combination. TONEX uses a specially prepared audio file of actual guitar and bass signals, not just test tones, to capture your rig in true-to-life detail. Then, TONEX’s neural network computes the machine modeled tone in minutes. The result is a virtual model that sounds indistinguishable from the real rig to be used in TONEX software and app. Add your custom skin and keywords to your Tone Models, then upload and share them with other TONEX users in ToneNET with just one click.

The Behringer U-PHORIA UM2 Desktop 2x2 USB 1.1 Audio Interface (B&H# BEUM2) is another lower-priced option. If you want an interface that will work with your MacBook as well as with mobile devices, the IK Multimedia iRig Pre HD Audio Interface with Mic Pre (B&H# IKIRIGPREHD) or Zoom U-22 Ultracompact 2x2 USB Handy Audio Interface (B&H# ZOZU22) are good options.
