IK is pleased to announce that we'll be exhibiting at METALCON26.

At our dedicated studio space, IK will showcase solutions tailored for modern metal production, performance and tone crafting.

Visitors can explore a TONEX gear demo area featuring our powerful ecosystem of AI-driven tone-modeling pedals and software. Experience ultra-realistic amp, pedal and cabinet tones designed for both stage and studio, and hear how TONEX delivers precision, flexibility and consistency for high-gain players.

In addition, we'll feature a dedicated iLoud and ARC listening area where attendees can experience accurate monitoring and room correction solutions in action — ideal for dialing in mixes and tones with confidence.

Special workshop Saturday at 15:30

Don't miss a special session with Mendel bij de Leij (ex-Aborted guitarist), who will lead a workshop on songwriting and achieving the perfect guitar tone.

Using TONEX and other IK Multimedia tools, Mendel will share practical insights into crafting modern metal tones, building powerful guitar parts and refining your sound for both recording and live performance.

Stop by the IK studio to experience the gear firsthand, learn from industry professionals and connect with fellow metal musicians and producers.

We look forward to seeing you there!
