TONEX ONE Joe Satriani is the latest product of IK's ongoing relationship with one of the guitar world's most respected players. It is truly something special. Handmade in Italy in a custom chrome finish, this limited-edition pedal comes with Joe's entire Amp Vault collection and 20 custom, preloaded presets he designed.
Guitar World recently gave TONEX ONE Joe Satriani 4.5 stars for its build quality, usability and sound, along with praise for the new TONEX FX and Editor. Their conclusions and a link ot the full review are below.
Put simply, the TONEX ONE Joe Satriani does exactly what it says it will do. It's a collection of Satch's sounds, from ethereal cleans to soaring high gain, all in a tiny little box.
It may not turn you into a legato-fuelled monster, but it will certainly put your tone in the Satch ballpark.
While there are some drawbacks to this mass functionality in the TONEX ONE's minuscule form factor, it is nonetheless a brilliant and mightily versatile unit.
Guitar World verdict
"A dream combination of IK's tech and Joe Satriani's vault of coveted amps plus presets tweaked by the man himself, the Tonex One Joe Satriani accurately delivers a selection of iconic Satch tones that you can place in the palm of your hand."
