IK Multimedia Tonex Cab AI-Based Modelling Amplifier
IK Multimedia Tonex Cab AI-Based Modelling Amplifier – represents the next step in IK Multimedia’s relentless pursuit of tonal perfection. Born from the same innovative drive that introduced the world’s most advanced AI-based amp modeling, TONEX Cab ensures that every nuance of modern rigs shines onstage. It sets the new standard for FRFR powered cabinets for authentic amp tones, delivering unmatched realism to TONEX Tone Models or any other professional amp modeler or capture system.
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.
