The IK Multimedia TONEX Bass Edition amp modeler effects pedal is a dedicated all-in-one solution for bass players, condensing world-class amp and effects modeling into a rugged, road-ready enclosure. Designed in Italy with IK's signature neural-pattern aluminum chassis, it comes preloaded with 150 bass-optimized tone models that capture everything from vintage tube thump to modern hi-fi clarity. Each preset delivers a complete rig with realistic dynamics and mix-ready low end, all tailored specifically for bass. With cutting-edge AI Machine Modeling and seamless integration into the TONEX ecosystem, this pedal delivers uncompromising tone and flexibility for stage, studio or practice—all in a single compact unit.
150 Tone Models With Legendary Amp DNA
The TONEX Bass Edition arrives preloaded with 150 presets organized into 50 banks, each inspired by an iconic amp and offered in three variations. From buttery Motown-style warmth to snarling modern grind, you'll find tones that sit perfectly in any mix. Every preset is enhanced by IK's AI-driven modeling for lifelike dynamics and touch response. Whether you prefer vintage tube sag, solid-state punch or hybrid character, you can swap between voices with ease. With this much tonal diversity in one pedal, it's like carrying a wall of bass rigs in your gig bag—ready to cover any session, gig or rehearsal.
Enhanced Phase-Correct DI and Seamless Amp Blending
A key upgrade in the TONEX Bass Edition is IK's improved dry/wet phase correlation. This advanced processing ensures that when you blend DI and processed signals, they remain perfectly phase-aligned. The result is a low end that's tighter, punchier and free from the frequency cancellation that often plagues multi-source bass tones. For players who need the clean articulation of DI paired with the character of a driven amp, this feature keeps every note clear and consistent. Whether you're anchoring a dense live mix or recording with studio precision, you'll enjoy both power and clarity without compromise.
Studio-Grade Effects and Flexible Cabinet Options
Beyond amp modeling, the TONEX Bass Edition offers 15 onboard effects, including tap-tempo delays, modulation staples like chorus, flanger, phaser and rotary, plus six reverb types. An analog-modeled compressor and noise gate provide essential utilities for shaping bass tone, while IK's VIR cabinet and mic simulation delivers mix-ready cab emulations. Prefer to use your own gear? The integrated IR loader makes it easy to import custom impulses. With seven FX blocks that can be arranged pre- or post-amp, you get unprecedented flexibility to sculpt tones that feel complete—without needing a full pedalboard of additional gear.
Endless Tonal Exploration With TONE MAX and ToneNET Integration
The included TONEX MAX software unlocks over 1,100 premium tone models, plus access to thousands of user-created rigs on ToneNET. You can model your own amps, pedals, and full rigs with IK's AI Machine Modeling, then transfer them directly into the pedal for instant use. The dedicated editor app makes preset browsing and editing intuitive, whether you're at home or at a gig. With unlimited access to tone models and the ability to expand with Signature and Tone Partner collections, the TONEX Bass Edition grows with your playing style—delivering an ever-expanding library of tones that are as unique as your music.
Studio-Grade Power in a Stage-Ready Amp Modeling Pedal
Engineered with 24-bit/192kHz processing, a 5Hz–24kHz response range and an ultra-low 123dB noise floor, the TONEX Bass Edition ensures your tone retains its full fidelity from rehearsal room to recording session. It doubles as a 24-bit USB audio interface, letting you record directly into your DAW without extra gear. Built with a rugged aluminum chassis, it's designed for life on the road while staying whisper-quiet in the studio. Whether you're crafting the perfect bass tone for a live mix, building a minimal fly rig or tracking direct in the studio, the IK Multimedia TONEX Bass Edition amp modeler effects pedal is a complete, all-in-one solution.
