TONEX Pedal: Built to Tour

Gigging guitarist puts IK’s amp-capture pedal to the 12-month road test

In this 12-month follow-up review, James, a touring guitarist and guitar tech, revisits the TONEX pedal to answer one key question: Can it tour? After a full year of using it as his main and only live rig, the verdict is in.

From consistent front-of-house tone and impressive stock presets to tank-like build quality and ultra-portable setup, the pedal proves itself night after night in venues ranging from small clubs to larger stages. Have a look.

What you'll learn:

  • Why the TONEX Pedal can reliably handle a full year of touring
  • How its sound quality holds up night after night, running direct
  • What makes its build quality "tour-proof" in real-world conditions
  • How to optimize switching settings for live performance
  • Why recent editor software updates make adjustments easier

TONEX Pedal sounds the same every night... zero mechanical failures. Still absolutely solid, built like a tank... fantastic quality. Can't fault it.

James

After 12 months of touring with this thing as my main and only live rig... absolutely yes it can.
