4 simultaneous AI-captured Tone Models at once
TONEX Board is powerful enough to run four AI-captured Tone Models simultaneously. You can create stereo rigs with two AI-captured amplifiers and even place two AI-captured distortion, overdrive or fuzz pedals in front of them for unmatched realism—all while maintaining one of the lowest latency levels on the market. These capabilities are typically available only in systems costing significantly more, giving TONEX Board the best price-to-performance ratio for running complex, ultra-realistic rigs.
Four Tone Models
Stereo, dual-amp, parallel, and wet/dry rig
At the heart of TONEX Board is a dual-signal-chain architecture capable of running up to four Tone Models simultaneously.
Create dual-amp stereo rigs, wet/dry setups, two-instrument performances, or sophisticated parallel processing chains—all while maintaining complete control over routing, levels, and effects placement.
Every signal path is fully configurable, allowing you to build the exact rig your performance requires.
Full Chain Parallel
Full Chain Serial
Full control without complexity
The large 5-inch touchscreen provides immediate visual feedback while five precision encoders make parameter editing fast and direct.
Build and refine complete presets from the hardware, move through signal paths at a glance, and reach the controls you need without navigating complex menus.
Everything is designed to keep your focus on playing rather than programming.
Take Control Onstage
TONEX Board is built for fast, confident control onstage.
Move seamlessly between Preset, Scene, and Stomp modes during a performance to recall complete rigs, change multiple settings at once, or control individual effects from the footswitches.
Organize 1,440 presets across setlists and banks, then use MIDI and expression pedals to extend real-time control without taking your hands off the instrument.
From the first song to the encore, TONEX Board helps you sound your best in every performance.
Your Rig, Your Way
TONEX Board adapts to virtually any size rig and performance environment.
Split and merge signal paths, position effects exactly where you want them, insert external pedals using the stereo effects loop, or divide the loop into two independent mono paths. Independent stereo outputs, global EQ for each output pair, MIDI, and four-cable method support make it equally comfortable with traditional amplifiers, FRFR systems, recording setups, or direct-to-front-of-house systems.
Whether your setup is simple or sophisticated, TONEX Board gives you the flexibility to connect, route, and configure it exactly the way you want.
