The TONEX pedal from IK Multimedia is the perfect “amp in a pedal” for your pedalboard. While there are thousands of incredible amp models available for download (many for free), dedicated steel guitar amp models are rare. At the time of this writing, my TONEX model of the Peavey Nashville 112 is still one of the only free steel amp models available on ToneNET.
(NOTE: If you’re looking to purchase the absolute best steel amp tone models available, Joe Rogers has an extensive library. I highly recommend reaching out to him – his work in modeling and profiling steel amps is outstanding.)

My captured settings on the Nashville 112 were:
- Input: High Gain
- Pre-Gain: 2
- Low: 8
- Mid: -7
- Shift: 750
- High: 3
- Presence: 6
- Master Gain: 2
I plan to do more TONEX modeling as I learn from experience, trying different mics, signal chains, and capturing techniques.
