In this video, Kyle Bull dives into IK's new MESA/Boogie Reference Collection for TONEX. This is the first time he's trying out any of the 70 included Tone Models and he heads straight for the high-gain tones, offering his expert opinion on how they measure up.

Watch as he gives you an unscripted reaction to several of the high-gain Tone Models included in this collection.

Being able to try one of those amps out for yourself in some way shape or form is nearly impossible, trust me I've tried, that is until today.

This has everything that I love about rectifiers and it also has something that some of my rectifiers don't.

It a little tighter on the low end for sure, but it's got that ratty aggressive top end and just overall a thick voicing. I like the way that sounds.

My 12-year-old self, when I first started playing guitar, would be stoked about that because that sounds exactly like the album tone!
