IK Multimedia Group Buy 2025

[gonzoknife]

I couldn't resist and bought a Tonex pedal.

I think the Tonex will be a good match for my Boss VG-800 setup. Use the Tonex for amps, some delay and reverb and I have the Boss effects to cover what the Tonex can't (I tend to like Boss effects) in addition to the modeled guitars.

Yeah, I knew about the Brown sound packs and the Engl pack on the guitar side (I have already bought the first Brown sound pack in addition to upgrading to Total Studio 5 Max).

But what has come out after Total Studio 5 MAX was released that hasn't been added as a bonus (like Prism Reverb)? Including things that are not on the guitar side.

Brown Sound collections, ENGL Ampthology Vol 1, and some hardware.

And how quickly do you have to redeem the free software? Can you wait for new releases?

30 days after the promotion ends (I believe this was answered but came in as part of the multi-quote which is probably my fault).

For real. I wasn’t even in the market for a Tonex One and now I’m seriously starting to talk myself into it as a backup utility or couch jamming tool.

Effective marketing here by IK.

Thank you and I'm sorry :)

Whomever came up with this idea is freaking clever.

Again, thank you and I'm sorry.

This is all amazing, but PLEASE for the love of baby Jesus, @ikmultimedia please stick a prod up the developer’s asses to fix ToneX on iOS/iPadOS. It would really be lovely to just carry an iPad and interface in my man-purse.

Yes, I will bump this again. I had to re-read that and I'm on board as long as you didn't say "prison purse" we're all good. That might void the warranty.

If one were to buy a Tonex does that have to be made through IK directly or can that be through a dealer?

Through dealer is fine, but I bought through IK because JamPoints. :)

1. Purchase any of the qualifying products from the IK Online Store or authorized IK dealer.

 

[Ensoniq]

For a non-guitarist (amateur keyboardist/songwriter) who already owns Total Studio Max 5, is there -anything- I would find useful from this offer that isn't part of TSM5?

Oh good call, I never even knew about those. Apparently I have a bunch of those and should probably jump into one of these pedals.

Ok - and thanks for getting back to me. I also notice that the newly released ReSing software title apparently is excluded - which could indicate that other products that might be released before the window shuts also would be excluded?

So for me - as a Total Studio 5 Max and Brown Sound 78/79 owner - the best possible outcome of this group buy if I buy qualifying hardware (like another Tonex One) would be to get the two other Brown Sound collections and the ENGL Amothology Vol 1 for free. Not a bad deal by all means.

But for a new customer buying a Tonex One now with all the free software added? Wow - that's a crazy deal!

Wanted to say, don't sleep on Arc X if you have your own measurement mic and calibration file.

Huge improvement over Arc 3.

 

[EOengineer]

Finally took a listen to demos of the Brown Sound 78/79 and the Mesa Reference Collection. At some point this weekend IK is getting some of my money.

Those are the best sounding rectifier caps I’ve heard anywhere.

 

[EOengineer]

Ugh they got me with the Tonex One. dammit. Excited about the brown sound and Mesa reference collections though.

I liked the Mesa rectifiers, but boost them with my real pedal.

ToneX aside, I've really been digging Amplitube 5 today. You can get some really good sounds out of it as it goes.

I’m looking at their Mesa 2, Fender 2, and Orange collections with the group buy options. Are you just using the standard stuff?

Amplitube 5 Satriani Expansion is the only JVM sim I know of. Bogren has the BDM One Knob and Fractal has their ones but A5 has the full sim in a plugin (and its pretty damn good when you crank the input in A5)

All of those are great choices, and generally where I live.

Yeah I have it built into my Precision 5 monitors and it makes a big difference. I have the box too and don’t use it anymore so I should probably sell it but it’s really low latency.

They could as well come up with an editor for mobile platforms. That'd make my Tonex One life a lot easier.

 

[Sascha Franck]

Through dealer is fine, but I bought through IK because JamPoints. :)

How many Jam Points does it earn you? I mean, the Tonex One is €237.99 in the IK shop, €165 at Thomann (both including tax).

 

[bucephalus]

I'm considering getting in on this via a Tonex One as it would be a handy little headphone amp, and good for acoustic gigs. Do you have to buy direct from ik for this to count for the offer, or could I get one from Amazon and register it? €199 from ik but £137 from Amazon. I have €60 jam points but I cannot use them all on the pedal and I get a warning about possible import charges.

 

[bucephalus]

Also €20 shipping on top from ik direct
