IK Multimédia - ToneX Bass Edition Modélisation

Behind its sober, metallic design, the TONEX Bass Edition hides a veritable armoury of sound. The 150 Tone Models in the Signature Bass Collection are arranged in thematic banks inspired by the greatest live amps: Ampeg, Fender, Markbass, Gallien-Krueger and Darkglass. Each model reproduces the texture, response and dynamics of its original sound thanks to the TONEX Modeler engine, a processor that captures the harmonic behaviour of each analogue stage. The result? Crisp lows, accurate mids and an attack that's always legible, whether you're playing with your picks or your fingers.

Built-in effects add another dimension to your playing. From compression to distortion to modulation, 15 pre and post treatments let you shape your sound on the fly. Dry/Wet controls and improved phase management ensure a perfect fusion between direct signal and processed sound: your groove retains all its power, even in the busiest mixes. You sculpt your timbre without ever losing the bass foundation, and every note remains full, coherent and punchy.

The second stage of effects acts like a creative palette. You can add a hint of 80s-style chorus, or a biting overdrive reminiscent of old tube heads. The multi-IR VIR engine gives you access to a series of precisely captured virtual loudspeakers, each reproducing the resonance and projection of a real cabinet. These impulse responses combine with your playing, creating a stunningly natural, organic feel. And when you switch from a vintage preset to a modern sound, the pedal keeps a cool head: everything is seamless, with no latency, as if your amp's DNA changed in the blink of an eye.

On stage, the TONEX Bass Edition becomes your conductor. You navigate from one preset to the next thanks to its ergonomic controls, designed for instant changes live. Each bank offers three ready-to-use variations: clean, crunch and drive, aligned around an iconic amp. And thanks to its USB/audio interface, you can record your bass lines directly in 24-bit / 44.1 kHz with studio clarity. All with a dynamic range of up to 123dB, proof that this beast doesn't breathe, it roars.

At home, this pedal integrates effortlessly into your digital ecosystem. The trio of software packages included - TONEX CS, Modeler and Editor - give you control over every parameter, allowing you to create or load new Tone Models. On ToneNET, thousands of sounds await you, including collections by partner artists and engineers. You can adjust, save, rename and swap your presets - in short, sculpt your sound identity. And when the time comes to return to the stage, your entire sonic universe will fit into a single brushed aluminium case.
