IK Multimedia Announces Brown Sound Limited-edition Pedals and More

IK Multimedia announces the Brown Sound Anthology, which includes three limited-edition TONEX ONE pedals and two new Signature Collections for TONEX, completing the three-part series of legendary recorded guitar. Covering the Brown Sound's evolution across six groundbreaking albums in three TONEX Tone Model collections, the anthology fully captures an artist's tonal journey as he changed rock guitar forever.

A New Vocabulary for Guitar
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. He inspired and influenced countless guitarists to expand their vocabulary and pursue that unique sound, none more serious than the man behind IK's Brown Sound Collection.

Pursuing Perfection
To create a comprehensive anthology of those historic tones, IK collaborated with Brown Sound tone guru Jim Gaustad. The result is 150 ultra-accurate Tone Models that feature both authentic recreations and thoughtful variations, representing different theories about how these legendary tracks were recorded. Every detail was explored, and no expense was spared, with no compromises made during production.

A Genre-defining Moment
Released in May to rave reviews, the initial series collection, Brown Sound 78/79, captures not only the gear but also the attitude, feel, and raw sonic essence of a genre-defining moment in rock history. By combining confirmed and rumored setups, including alternative speakers, these Tone Models offer exceptional accuracy and creative flexibility. This collection comes with every limited-edition TONEX ONE (a $/€99.99 software value).
