TONEX Metal Gems Collection from IK Multimedia is now free for a limited time at Audio Plugin Deals.
Tonex is IK Multimedia’s flagship machine-modeling guitar tone creator. IK Multimedia’s Tone Eco-System recreates the sounds of the most sought-after amps, cabs, and pedals.
There are a few versions of TONEX, but if you don’t own one already, you can download TONEX CS for free.
The currently free TONEX Metal Gems Collection features four iconic high-gain amp tone models: the Peavey® 5150, Diezel Herbert, Soldano SLO-100, and Bogner Uberschall.
The collection usually sells for $49, but if you act fast, you can download it for free at Audio Plugin Deals. I don’t know when the offer will end, but time is of the essence, so grab it while you can.
Any metalhead will already know everything about these legendary amps, but here’s a rundown of each tone model.
The Peavey® 5150 Block Letter model features various captures with stomps and different cabs. The original 5150 Block Letter model has the EVH logo, and the slightly later signature model replaces the logo with Eddie Van Halen’s signature.
My knowledge of amplifiers stopped at a certain point because the guitar wasn’t my first instrument.
As my guitar playing doesn’t merit a deeper knowledge base, so rather than ask the internet, I’ll throw this to the comments: Is there any discernable difference between the Block Letter and Signature models, or is it just gear purists looking for something that isn’t there?
The versatile Diezel Herbert model features 30-tone models using a range of cabs, microphones, and outboard gear for pristine cleans and ultra-tight distortion.
I remember the Soldano SLO-100 model for Amplitube 5 CS was available for free a few years back, but if you missed it, here’s your chance. This tone model delivers clean, drive, and high-gain tones using several stomps.
Many guitarists say it’s hard to sound bad through the much-loved Bogner Uberschall. I’m not sure I agree, but the much-loved amp, known for all-tube distortion, sounds fantastic in the right hands. This tone model features 25 lead and rhythm tones.
While I’m not a guitar amp buff, I am a fan of IK Multimedia when it comes to emulating iconic sounds, and I use their Hammond B3X often.
Another IK Multimedia amp is on offer this month: the Mesa Mark III for Amplitube 5 CS is free throughout July 2024.
All in all, it is a good time to be a guitarist.
