Faithfully capturing a snapshot digital reproduction of any real amp has for several years been the province of Kemper with their Profiler and, in more recent years, Neural DSP with the Quad Cortex-hardware units both and not cheap. IK Multimedia, however, has chosen the more cost-effective software route for amp capture with TONEX, an application utilising Al machine modelling to create 'Tone Models' which could be various combinations of amp, cab and drive pedal.

Up until recently, you could only utilise the Tone Models via a standalone or DAW plug-in instance of TONEX or integrate them into Amplitube, but now the company is offering a hardware option with the TONEX Pedal, a triple-footswitch stompbox that can hold Tone Models in 150 presets for use onstage without a computer.
