“the finest tones finally break free” makes me think they’re talking about standalone hardware running amplitube for live use (

Interesting…Helix certainly has a big advantage being able to use it ITB or live as hardware…..

Yeah, could see that. Good guess.

Just got the IK Newsletter "Big news for guitar tone lovers coming July 15th!" At least now the speculation will be closer to the truth.

If that's what it is, they'll need to update the older amp and stomp box models to be on par with current modeling.

The JMP, JCM Slash, AC30s, Supro, Fenders, Oranges, and Soldano all would need a do-over.
Same for stomps like the Tube Screamer, Big Muff, RAT, Fuzz Faces, and MT-2.

And if they update those models for this X thing, then by god I hope they get updated in AmpliTube 5 for everyone, too. If not, there will be riots.

Whenever IK Multimedia says "tone" I always think of Amplitube. Freeing tones = editable amp sims? If so, to what level? Swap modules? SPICE-like circuit simulation?

299€ = 359€ inc VAT, good luck to compete with Strymon at this price tag!

Expensive 'individual' digital modelling guitar pedals.

X-DRIVE distortion
X-VIBE modulation
X-TIME delay
X-SPACE reverb

I cant really see the point, going for the Line 6 HX Stomp seems better to me (they have everything in them 300 amps, cabs, and effects) these pedals only have 16 FX and you need all 4 of them to cover the range of FX a guitarist may need? £300 each = £1200 + VAT- 1500??, you can get a full HELIX or even a Kemper for that for that!

Anyway, not for me so I will move on.

yeah, not to mention that these are digital pedals, so each of them will add a AD/DA stage and a small amount of latency. i don't see the point of having them separately, short of simplifying the interface (or aiming to sell more units

).
