About IK Multimedia

IK Multimedia was founded in 1996 in the city of Modena in northern Italy. Its two founders, both musicians and engineers, joined forces with the aim of emulating electronic circuits using computer algorithms. Today, IK Multimedia is a multinational company with seven subsidiaries in Italy, the UK, Japan, Mexico, Brazil, Hong Kong, and the USA and exclusively manufactures products which are perfectly tailored to the needs of musicians, true to its motto "Musicians first".

For jamming, performing, and recording

For practising and jamming, the guitar sound of the IK Multimedia TONEX Plug can be mixed directly with songs from streaming apps, and in a home studio, the device can even function as an audio interface via its USB-C connection, offering additional flexibility. Regardless of where it is used, the built-in tuner and metronome will help maintain accurate tuning and consistent timing, allowing musicians to build complete personal rigs consisting of an amplifier, speaker, and effects. This makes it particularly attractive for singer-songwriters who occasionally perform in small venues and want a compact setup centred around a lightweight, 70-gram "amplifier" that offers the added benefit of compatibility with apps such as AmpliTube and various learning platforms.

Disapointed

nisvortez 28.12.2025

Im sorry i'm not a fan of the sounds comes with. Even with the Tonex Editor, It's not fun to use.
I prefer much more the Pulze mini from Hotone.
I keep the Plug maybe there will be a software update.
Listen to , to get an idea about the sounds.
First i tought it's exaggerated, but now i know it's not

NEED4SPEED 16.12.2025

Most beautiful thing is before always boring sitting during training

Now with this tone X plug can walk during play (music & fitness)
With jack headphones have no latency

Audio quality pretty match like Amplitube 5 with my Ur22 usb A

Just about the best practice tool you can imagine

Telj 01.03.2026

I use Tonex in my PC direct in my DAW as well as on my pedalboard using Tonex Pedal. This Plug allows me to get the same sounds easily in headphones (great for when the baby's asleep 😉).

The app is intuitive and full of features, the sound quality is top notch and the flexibility is pretty much unparalleled.
