IK Multimedia TONEX Pedal Bass Edition: Advanced Bass Processing in a Pedal

IK Multimedia TONEX Pedal Bass Edition introduces stage- and studio-ready amp modeling to bassists who demand ultimate precision. By harnessing AI machine modeling, this unit offers a vast palette of 150 signature Tone Models, all within an interface built for intuitive hands-on control. Low-frequency specialists will find everything from tube warmth to modern, punchy tones ready for immediate use.

Flexible Sound Design and Realism

What distinguishes this model is the phase-accurate dry/wet blend and support for custom IRs alongside IK’s VIR multi-IR cabinet tech. The inclusion of 15 pre/post effects—such as stereo reverbs, delay, and modulation—equips players with tools for deep tonal shaping. Deep integration with TONEX Editor and the ToneNET community opens up creative options unavailable in traditional pedals.

Direct Control for Live and Studio

Sound sculpting is quick via dedicated knobs for every key parameter. Immediate access to Gain, Bass, Mid, Treble, Volume, Model, and Preset allows on-the-fly adjustments for any performance situation.

• Controls: Parameter, Gain, Bass, Mid, Treble, Volume, Preset, Model — Each control is placed for fast, precise adjustment of your tone.
• Presets: 150 (50 banks x 3) — Move between extensive amp/cab/effects setups at the press of a switch.
• Stereo outputs, MIDI, and USB connectivity facilitate advanced routing and integration.

Signal Integrity and Versatile Bypass

Protecting your instrument’s natural character is critical—this pedal achieves it with selectable true or buffered bypass. Whether it sits at the start of your signal chain or in a complex rig, your tone remains untouched. MIDI support enables automated preset changes and hands-free control in demanding environments.

• True Bypass: Switchable to Buffered — Keep your signal path pristine in any context.
• MIDI Interface: Yes — External devices and DAWs integrate with ease.
• Set the bypass mode according to your setup’s needs for optimal performance.

Recording and Build Quality

This instrument doubles as a USB audio interface, delivering 24-bit resolution and a 5 Hz – 24 kHz frequency response—ideal for capturing modeled tones directly. Its aluminum housing stands up to touring, while the layout is engineered for efficient operation even mid-performance.

• Reliable power is ensured via the included power supply; battery operation is not supported.
• Inputs/Outputs: Stereo outs, headphone out, expression, MIDI, USB — All the connectivity options required for modern bass setups.
