What’s New

50 Legendary IRs

TONEX Cab now includes 50 premium impulse responses (IRs), entirely free for all registered users via the IK Product Manager. These are our very best IRs from the IK amp vault, created with top-tier studio gear for unmatched punch, clarity, and feel.

Load your favorites using the free TONEX Cab software to seamlessly integrate analog gear like preamps and amp-in-a-box pedals, add FX between your amp sim and TONEX Cab just like a real FX loop, or offload IR processing to free up valuable DSP.

Explore the classic growl of a ′59 Bassman 4x10, the chime of Alnico Blues in a Vox AC30, or the crushing punch of Celestion V30s in a Mesa 4x12. No matter your setup, these IRs bring decades of legendary tone straight to your rig.

Setting a new standard

Guitar players are used to playing live through guitar amps and not wedges or PA systems, which differ greatly in how they respond, resonate, and interact with their playing. Guitar amps positioned on the floor played at high volume have a totally different type of response than the one offered by a standard FRFR-designed cab or PA, let alone a low-cost one. Additionally, Tone Models, captures and IR responses are all obtained through recording with a microphone in close contact with the guitar speaker. This is not how guitar players on stage typically hear their instruments at high volumes.

That’s why Tone Models reproduced by FRFR from repurposed wedges or PA speakers tend to sound thin, harsh and unbalanced, and they don’t provide the mojo experience that the superior quality of Tone Models provides.

TONEX Cab solves all of this with a radically different design approach. It uses a series of unique, clever solutions and advanced DSP control to overcome current FRFR limitations and offer the best possible amplification of TONEX Tone Models or any other capture system or modeler. Thus, it sets a new standard for guitar amplification that stands out from anything else on the market.

Finally, amp-in-the-room tone and feel

Thanks to its unique DSP algorithms, TONEX Cab’s exclusive AMP TONE control stands apart from any other FRFR in the market today, allowing players to dial in the perfect amount of real amp feel and response to any room or venue.

img

It achieves this through precision control over the custom high-wattage Celestion 12'' guitar speaker and 1'' Lavoce high-performance compression driver, both working in concert to deliver the optimal resonance and sound dispersion players expect from a real cab. Combined with a real wood cabinet, this results in a playing experience that feels alive and responsive, where every note blooms and sustains just like a traditional amp, with all the benefits of digital precision.

Ultra-portable and powerful

TONEX Cab is the most compact 12'' powered cab in its class, leaving extra room in the car to pack two for stereo or to travel lighter. Despite its minimal size, the TONEX Cab delivers true 350 W RMS / 700 W Peak Class-D power. Its advanced DSP control delivers true-amp sound at any volume, reaching an astonishing 132 dB Max SPL for low-end punch and clarity at any volume. With larger venues, the XLR output can link multiple cabs for even more volume and sound dispersion.

Amplify any rig anywhere

We designed TONEX Cab to be the perfect companion for amplifying the tonal richness, dynamics and feel of TONEX Tone Models, which the market has recognized as the best capture models available today. TONEX Cab works equally well with any other digital amp sims, adding muscle, articulation and a rich multi-dimensional sound that makes playing live an electrifying and immersive experience.

Its onboard IR loader lets you connect analog preamps directly to the cab or save your modeler DSP power by removing the IR block. Its precision drivers work perfectly with acoustic guitars and other audio instruments and ensure that time-based effects shine with studio-quality clarity and detail.

Pro features

TONEX Cab offers plug-and-play simplicity with additional pro features for more complex rigs. Features include a 3-band EQ for quickly dialing in your tone to a specific room without editing each preset. You can program the eight memory slots to store both EQ and AMP TONE settings, plus your cabinet IR selection using the onboard controls or the included TONEX Cab software. Seamlessly select between memory slots with the onboard PRESET selector or via the built-in MIDI I/O.

On stage to FOH

TONEX Cab's balanced audio output makes it easy to customize the stage or house sound. It features pre- or post-EQ/IR for cab linking or sending sound to the front-of-house (FOH). Use the AUX IN to monitor a band mix or play backing tracks to jam along. With its flexible routing options, you can fine-tune your setup for any gig, big or small.

Stereo and stacking

With two or more TONEX Cabs, your setup becomes even more versatile. With a dual TONEX pedal rig, you can create a lush, immersive tone with spacious, time-based effects. You can also build a wet/dry or wet/dry/wet rig to precisely control the direct/FX mix, keeping the core tone intact while letting the wet effects add depth and space. Stack multiple cabs for a massive wall of sound and increased headroom to ensure your tone stays punchy and powerful, no matter the venue size.

Designed to inspire

The TONEX Cab's Italian design and finish give it a timeless yet modern look under any spotlight. The integrated tilt-back legs let you angle the cab and direct the sound, which is optimal for hearing yourself better in small or dense sound stages. Swappable optional grills make it easy to customize your rig’s appearance or keep track of different TONEX Cabs between bandmates or when running stereo rigs.
