As an admirer of IK Multimedia's equipment, I found the quality of this sturdy Italian-made pedal unsurprising. It feels like a serious piece of kit. Part of the TONEX family (encompassing software and hardware such as the TONEX Capture, a unit enabling the modelling of amps), this pedal possesses 150 customisable presets arranged in 50 banks. Available online, the indexed manual is laid out like a traditional paper manual, with its first 35 pages in English.

Suitable for guitar or bass guitar, the pedal can be connected as part of a pedal board, to a guitar amp (on its own), into a PA via a DI unit, or direct to a powered cab. Headphone connectivity is also provided, and it can function as an interface for recording or for managing presets via Mac or PC using a USB port. TONEX and AmpliTube 5 are received upon registration along with other softwares, including Librarian, which manages and transfers presets between computer and pedal.
