CNN Underscored has published its roundup of the latest guitar amp simulators and guess which pedal in their opinion offers more authentic tones, IK's TONEX Pedal.

Between the included TONEX software for creating Tone Models of your amps and effects to all the free Tone Models on ToneNET, TONEX Pedal lets you play, record and perform with more of the world's best tones than anything else.

Here's some of what CNN has to say about TONEX Pedal and a link to the full review below.

The results are very convincing — almost spooky — and TONEX sounds incredible... You end up with a chug or riff machine that sounds and feels like playing the real thing, whether that's a vintage Marshall or a modern boutique amp.

It's also versatile in that you can use it not just as an amp simulator, but as an overdrive/distortion pedal.

If you're trying to replicate these specific tones night after night on the road or for overdub after overdub, TONEX Pedal might even be preferable.

You also get access to the huge community of TONEX users, who are active trading models. If you can't get access to an amp to profile it or find a commercial IR pack that includes it, you're likely to run into somebody who's done it already and is happy to share.
