TONEX ONE Brown Sound LE Red

TONEX ONE is a compact, versatile pedal-size audio interface and amp modelling unit delivering premium “Brown Sound” tone, ready to plug into your FRFR/powered cabinet or use as a recording interface via USB.

Own the tone that changed the world. Few artists had a greater impact on rock music in the late 1970s and early 1980s than the young Dutch-born guitarist who entered Sunset Sound Studios in 1978 to record what would become known as the Brown Sound — inspiring and influencing countless guitarists to expand their vocabulary and chase that distinctive tone.

Working with legendary tone-engineer Jim Gaustad — dedicated to re-creating that Brown Sound with precision — IK Multimedia developed a comprehensive anthology of Signature Collections for TONEX and TONEX ONE. Across six breakthrough albums, these tone models document a guitar legend’s tonal evolution — reshaping rock guitar forever.

The Brown Sound 82/84 collection is the final installment of this limited series. This pedal includes 20 carefully crafted Tone Models, including amp-only captures (ideal for running through your favorite IRs, or a real cab on stage). As rock became more polished and radio-ready, the Brown Sound tightened, refined, yet never lost its iconic edge. With Brown Sound 82/84 you experience the evolution of a legendary guitar tone during a period of studio-precision and musical ambition.

The Amp: “The ONE”

At the heart of the Brown Sound 82/84 collection lies “The ONE” — a meticulously modelled Marshall-style amp built to the exact specs of the infamous 1968 Super Lead (serial #12301), including mods that capture the early Brown Sound DNA:

• “Fat Cap” mod — extra low-frequency gain for a chewy midrange and “hair on every note”.

• 50K mid pot — shifting the EQ into a more vocal, aggressive midrange, emulating the presence and attitude heard on the earliest Brown Sound recordings.

20 Custom Presets + TONEX FX

Each TONEX ONE “Brown Sound Limited Edition” pedal ships with 20 custom presets ready to play — from searing leads to swinging rhythms. Many presets include built-in TONEX FX for added depth and vibe, reminiscent of the original recordings. Plug in and play right out of the box.
