IK Multimedia Tonex ONE

TONEX ONE represents the new revolution in delivering outstanding quality sound in a pocket-sized format. When we introduced the TONEX PEDAL, people were astonished by its exceptional sound. However, we didn't want to stop there; we aimed for more. We decided to develop a new product capable of achieving the same high sound quality while occupying less space. Stripping everything down to its core and packaging it into a micro stomp format, TONEX ONE was born, giving life to the perfect pedalboard companion.
TONEX ONE represents the new revolution in delivering outstanding quality sound in a pocket-sized format. When we introduced the TONEX PEDAL, people were astonished by its exceptional sound.

Stripping everything down to its core and packaging it into a micro stomp format, TONEX ONE was born, giving life to the perfect pedalboard companion.

TONEX ONE can replace any amp, boost, overdrive, distortion, or fuzz pedal, and its small size allows it to fit almost anywhere. Any artist can have as many TONEX ONE units as they want to accommodate amps, boosts, overdrives, distortions, and fuzzes. These can be combined with their favorite amplifiers or with another TONEX PEDAL or TONEX ONE, acting as an amp preamp, to go directly to the PA system. But it doesn't end here! Thanks to the editable knobs' colors, multiple TONEX ONE units can be easily distinguished within a pedalboard.

Two modes, unlimited possibilities

We have designed two working modes for TONEX ONE:

The DUAL MODE (default mode) condenses the power of two presets into a single switch form factor. This mode hosts two presets (A and B), allowing the footswitch to toggle between them. In this mode, there isn't a bypassed status. It's intended to function akin to an amp setup with two channels. Artists can have both clean and crunch sounds in one box, easily toggling between them, even if the presets feature different amplifiers and settings.

The STOMP MODE is the more straightforward option, similar to the mode used in most pedals. Here, the pedal features one preset with two states (on and off), switchable using the dedicated footswitch. This mode works perfectly when TONEX ONE is utilized as a typical overdrive pedal, allowing an unaffected signal when disengaged and engaging it when needed by pressing the footswitch.

Combining these two modes offers significant benefits in the pedal's capabilities. An artist can use a TONEX ONE in dual mode for clean and crunch tones, while employing another TONEX ONE in stomp mode to drive the signal into base tones, achieving pushed clean or distorted sounds for added versatility.

One pedal, 20 Tone Models onboard

Even if 3 playable slots may be enough for most shows, we wanted to have the possibility to change them without the need of any app, just using the pedal. We created a browsing mode where 20 presets can be browsed within the pedal and can be assigned to each one of the three preset slots without the need of any additional device. This is very helpful since the user can choose his top 20 presets from TONEX for Mac/PC or from TONEX PEDAL and have them stored in the TONEX ONE memory so he can choose the best 3 presets among his top 20 to be assigned for any show.

Let’s say you use TONEX ONE as your overdrive pedal. For different shows you may need a Tube Screamer, a Klone Centaur or a ProCo RAT. With TONEX ONE you have 20 tone models to choose from ready to be assigned to your TONEX ONE.

Colorful and customizable

The micro-knob colors on the TONEX ONE can be customized to complement any pedalboard aesthetic and facilitate easy identification of different TONEX ONEe units on a single pedalboard. Given its size and affordable price, many customers may opt to purchase more than one TONEX ONE and stack them according to their preferences. The customizable mini-knob colors associated with each embedded preset also offer additional advantages. They help you distinguish between A/B and Bypass modes and making every TONEX ONE unit easily identifiable on your pedalboard. For instance, one could have their overdrive in red, distortion in blue, fuzz in purple, and the two amp channels in a single TONEX ONE unit toggling A/B mode in amber and red.

The available colors include red, green, amber (default), yellow, cyan, blue, pink, purple, and white. Additionally, there's an option to turn off the light, perhaps for more formal settings such as in theaters or other classy events.
