IK Multimedia released its smallest hardware device yet, the TONEX Plug, designed for guitarists and bassists practicing anywhere. This pocket-sized unit connects directly to instruments via a standard jack and delivers amplified sound through headphones. It uses artificial intelligence modeling technology identical to larger TONEX products, enabling realistic amplifier and effects simulations without external gear.
The device streams music wirelessly via Bluetooth and operates as a USB audio interface for recording. Users access more than forty thousand free amplifier simulations through IK Multimedia's online platform, with additional premium options available. It includes built-in tuning and timing tools plus six hours of battery life. Priced at 149.99 euros, the TONEX Plug ships with companion software and begins shipping late November 2025. A version with a protective case costs 159.99 euros. Company officials state the product addresses musicians' growing need for portable, high-quality practice solutions.
