TONEX Cab represents the next step in IK Multimedia's relentless pursuit of tonal perfection. Born from the same innovative drive that introduced the world’s most advanced AI-based amp modeling, TONEX Cab ensures that every nuance of modern rigs shines onstage. It sets the new standard for FRFR powered cabinets for authentic amp tones, delivering unmatched realism to TONEX Tone Models or any other professional amp modeler or capture system.
50 Legendary IRs
TONEX Cab now includes 50 premium impulse responses (IRs), entirely free for all registered users via the IK Product Manager. These are our very best IRs from the IK amp vault, created with top-tier studio gear for unmatched punch, clarity, and feel.
Load your favorites using the free TONEX Cab software to seamlessly integrate analog gear like preamps and amp-in-a-box pedals, add FX between your amp sim and TONEX Cab just like a real FX loop, or offload IR processing to free up valuable DSP.
Explore the classic growl of a ′59 Bassman 4x10, the chime of Alnico Blues in a Vox AC30, or the crushing punch of Celestion V30s in a Mesa 4x12. No matter your setup, these IRs bring decades of legendary tone straight to your rig.
Guitar players are used to playing live through guitar amps and not wedges or PA systems, which differ greatly in how they respond, resonate, and interact with their playing. Guitar amps positioned on the floor played at high volume have a totally different type of response than the one offered by a standard FRFR-designed cab or PA, let alone a low-cost one. Additionally, Tone Models, captures and IR responses are all obtained through recording with a microphone in close contact with the guitar speaker. This is not how guitar players on stage typically hear their instruments at high volumes. That’s why Tone Models reproduced by FRFR from repurposed wedges or PA speakers tend to sound thin, harsh and unbalanced, and they don’t provide the mojo experience that the superior quality of Tone Models provides. TONEX Cab solves all of this with a radically different design approach. It uses a series of unique, clever solutions and advanced DSP control to overcome current FRFR limitations and offer the best possible amplification of TONEX Tone Models or any other capture system or modeler. Thus, it sets a new standard for guitar amplification that stands out from anything else on the market.
