Technical details: Compact, powerful and full of possibilities

The IK Multimedia ToneX Plug is more than just a headphone amplifier. It combines several functions in one ultra-compact device: guitar amplifier, effects unit, USB audio interface and Bluetooth-enabled audio streamer. Its housing measures just 75 x 40 x 20 mm and weighs only 70 g - ideal for everyday transportation in a guitar case or even in a trouser pocket.

The guitar is connected via the integrated 1/4" guitar input (TS, swivel), while a 1/8" stereo output is available for headphones or external devices. Operation is via function buttons on the side (Up/Down, +/-, Power), which can be used to navigate through presets and settings. In addition, front RGB LEDs provide visual feedback, e.g. when charging or to display the current mode.

Inside, the ToneX Plug offers space for 30 user-defined presets, divided into three banks with ten memory locations each. This allows a wide variety of amp and effect combinations to be saved and recalled directly in the device. Communication and complete control is handled via the accompanying mobile app, which can be used to edit presets, adjust parameters, download tone models and much more.

A highlight is the full compatibility with over 30,000 free Tone Models on Tone.net as well as with high-quality premium Tone Models. It is used via the AI-based TONEX SE software, which is also included in the scope of delivery. It allows you to create and edit your own tone models on Mac or PC, which can then be transferred to the plug.

The integrated battery offers up to five hours of battery life and is charged via the USB-C port - the same port is also used to transfer audio signals, for example for recordings in the DAW. The ToneX Plug functions as a fully-fledged USB audio interface, perfect for home recording or mobile productions. Thanks to Bluetooth compatibility, it can also be connected wirelessly to the app - for wireless audio streaming and app control.

Numerous effects are available to the user for sound design: five reverbs (Spring 1-3, Room, Plate), two delays (Digital, Tape) and five modulation effects (Chorus, Tremolo, Phaser, Flanger, Rotary). There is also an integrated tuner and functions such as a noise gate, compressor and parametric EQ - all fully controllable via the app.
