Kit Contains:
An ideal choice for guitarists seeking a comprehensive studio DI and reamping set up, this B&H Kit bundles together two of IK Multimedia's best IR processing software products—TONEX MAX AI Machine Modeled Tone Creator and AmpliTube Max V2—for instant access to an enormous collection of perfectly modeled gear and spaces, including amps, pedals, cabs, speakers, mics, rooms, and rack FX, plus the ability to create your own tones.
IK Multimedia Amplitube TONEX MAX AI Machine Modeled Tone Creator
Harnessing revolutionary AI machine modeling technology, the Amplitube TONEX MAX Tone Creator from IK Multimedia is an incredible and sophisticated software program that can turn your amps, cabs, pedals, or entire rig setup into virtual models and plug-ins, using your real guitar and bass signals and IK's neural network to compute machine modeled tones in mere minutes. The resulting model is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing, and can be used standalone, as a DAW plug-in, or within the vast TONEX ecosystem, including IK's Amplitube 5.
TONEX MAX comes pre-loaded with a high-quality selection of 100 amps, 50 pedals, and 1000 tone models, with many more available on ToneNET, where you can browse, demo, and download models, as well as upload your own custom creations. TONEX can even be used to create custom IRs, including a built-in VIR cabinet player with multiple IRs per cabinet, and is available in AAX, Audio Unit, VST2, and VST3 formats for wide compatibility with numerous DAWs on macOS or Windows PC.
TONEX Modeler
Harness the power of IK’s advanced AI Machine Modeling technology to turn your rig into virtual models of amps, cabs, and pedals (distortion, overdrive, fuzz, EQ, and boost) or entire rigs, in any combination. TONEX uses a specially prepared audio file of actual guitar and bass signals, not just test tones, to capture your rig in true-to-life detail. Then TONEX’s neural network computes the machine modeled tone in minutes. The result is a virtual model that sounds indistinguishable from the real rig, to be used in TONEX software and app. Add your custom skin and keywords to your Tone Models, then upload and share them with other TONEX users in ToneNET with just one click.
- Model amps, cabinets, combos, and pedals (like distortion, overdrive, fuzz, EQ, or boost) in any combination, from a single element to a complex rig
- Create Tone Models in minutes (as fast as 5 minutes on recommended hardware) using AI Machine Modeling technology with selectable levels of accuracy
- Built-in assistant guides you through each step, from hardware connection to complete modeling
- Ultra-precise reproduction of high-frequency content with no aliasing whatsoever
- Assign custom skins to your modeled gear and open them as a plug-in or standalone inside the TONEX software and app, or AmpliTube 5 for Mac/PC
- Works also as an IR creator or you can use the built-in VIR cabinets with multiple IRs per cabinet
Note:
An Nvidia GPU with Maxwell architecture or later is recommended for use with Windows for reduced AI training times.

New to AmpliTube 5

AmpliTube's movable microphones now truly shine, with an easy-to-use grid that lets you snap to a precise IR point or seamlessly blend between multiple measurements. You can now also import your own IRs and load them into AmpliTube 5 with the option to tilt or resize them, giving you total sonic flexibility.
