I Tried Tonex One vs Kemper because of…

I Tried Tonex One vs Kemper because of the small pedalboard footprint but after months of struggling with needlessly complicated software settings and the UI on PC, I'm giving up. I have a degree in software engineering and this is possibly the worst user interface I've ever encountered.

Part 2) IK contacted me with a suggestion to try out its new Tonex Tone Model & Present management app which I will do and revise my review once I've fully tried it out.

Thanks for your feedback. We would highly suggest checking out the new TONEX Editor software that was just released, it offers a much improved experience with managing your tone models on your hardware. This can be downloaded now from your IK Product Manager!

If you have any questions along the way, our team is always here to help.

Thanks.

Struugles with Amplitube 4 and 5 on a MacBook Air.

I struggled for quite a while trying to get my Amplitube 5 and Amplitube 4 to work on my MacBook Air. they ahd worked with no problems and all of a sudden they quit. I finally contacted support feeling rather silly having not been able to fix it myself. But after explaining the problem I received advice which I followed and everything works as it should. Thanks support team

Amazing customer support

5 days after I bought Amplitude 5 Max, I got an email for a discount on Total Studio 4 Max, which includes Amplitude. I contacted them and asked if they could just give me a discount. They refunded the Amplitude so I could buy Total Studio instead! That's what I'd call a great customer support!

Patience is a Virtue

You have to realize that with the complexity of their product lines and the sheer number of users, response times will not be lightening fast. I was pleasantly surprised, however, just how fast and helpful their responses actually were. "Fast" in this context is 24 to 48 hours consistently.

Recommendation without hesitation

Their products are simply the best. I am a long-time user of Amplitube, and the variety and quality of their gear seems unmatched. After having a wonderfully pleasant exchange with their support team regarding an issue I had, my faith in the company and my enjoyment of the products have never been stronger.

Tonex Pedal Serial Number

I had some issues with my second-hand gear (Tonex pedal) that I bought at Guitar Center in Orlando during my vacation. Luckily, the IK technician support team did a great job helping me resolve the problem.

Thrilled with IK

I bought an old product from guitar Center and couldn’t use it, studio max 2. I reached out to IK and they told me they would reimburse me And upgrade me to studio max 4 at no cost. They were very friendly and got everything figured out within a few days quick responses and I love the new studio Max 4 it’s awesome!

iRigMic HD with new iPad

Bought a iRigMic HD 10 years ago. Now it did not work anymore together with the new iPad. But support told me, that the problem is in the Lightning-USB-C adapter and suggested a new cable. Bought the cable ... problem solved.

This is what I call a fantastic Support Team.
