ToneNET offers music-driven tone discovery with complete, performance-ready rigs
April 2, 2026 - IK Multimedia announces the launch of full-rig preset sharing on ToneNET, a powerful new way to discover, share, and play tones as they are meant to be heard across the TONEX™ ecosystem.
Building on IK's groundbreaking AI Machine Modeling™ technology, TONEX allows guitarists and bassists to capture real amps, cabinets, and pedals with stunning realism, then play, practice, and record with thousands of ultra-authentic Tone Models. With this latest update, IK continues to develop TONEX beyond just a Tone Model platform into a complete, music-driven ecosystem.
A TONEX Tone Model captures the exact sound of a specific amp, pedal, or rig, while a TONEX preset combines that Tone Model with effects, routing, and settings to create a fully playable sound. With ToneNET Preset Sharing, users can share and discover presets, moving beyond building sounds from scratch to jumping straight into performance-ready rigs inspired by their favorite music.
ToneNET Preset Sharing New Features
- Upload and download complete presets consisting of full signal chains
- Browse presets by song, artist, genre or playing style
- Access performance-ready rigs created by the TONEX community
- Discover curated presets from IK Multimedia and official Tone Partners
- Experience Premium Tone Models inside complete presets before purchase
- Seamless integration across TONEX software, mobile and hardware
Music-Based Tone Discovery
ToneNET Preset Sharing offers a more intuitive, music-focused way to find great tone. Users can browse presets using musical references such as artist, song, genre, or style, making it quicker than ever to find sounds suited to specific playing situations.
By organizing tones around real musical use cases, TONEX helps players focus on playing rather than programming.
A Growing Library of Complete Rigs
Hundreds of presets are already available on ToneNET, with new sounds added daily by the global TONEX community, IK Multimedia and official Tone Partners.
From studio tones for recording to stage-ready rigs for live performance, ToneNET continues to expand into one of the most comprehensive tone libraries available today.
From Studio to Stage
TONEX Preset Sharing is fully integrated across the entire TONEX ecosystem. Users can browse and download presets within TONEX software or via mobile, then transfer them directly to TONEX hardware, including TONEX Pedal, TONEX ONE, and TONEX Plug.
This seamless workflow allows players to move effortlessly from studio sessions to rehearsals and live performances using the same sounds.
A New Way to Experience Premium Tone Models
ToneNET Preset Sharing improves the experience when exploring IK's Tone Model collections. Presets may include Premium Tone Models, allowing users to hear them within full signal chains before buying. This offers a more realistic and musical way to evaluate tones as part of a complete rig, rather than in isolation.
Continuous Innovation
With the introduction of Preset Sharing, IK Multimedia continues its commitment to advancing the TONEX platform, enhancing features while staying dedicated to providing the most realistic and inspiring tone solutions available.

ToneNET Preset Sharing is now available in TONEX version 1.11.0, a free update for all TONEX users through the IK Product Manager, including TONEX CS.
