Last year, IK’s TONEX merged its AI-equipped amp and effects software modelling with a large-format hardware pedal. This enabled users to create a tone preset and take it anywhere, narrowing the margins between practice, studio and stage. Its new Tonex One is a tiny sibling to the impressive TONEX, coming in at just under half the price, and a fraction of the size, while still housing a powerful feature set.
As an amp modeller, it’s as good as units many times more expensive, but that stands to reason. The full-size TONEX is a workhorse, and this shares the same pedigree, albeit in a smaller, nano-sized form factor.
