Metal guitar specialist, Taylor Danley tries out IK's new MESA/Boogie Reference Signature Collection for TONEX which features 5 special amps from MESA's private tone lab and 70 Tone Models to use across the entire TONEX Ecosystem. In this video, Taylor plays them inside TONEX for Mac/PC. Have a listen.

Excellent tones and I would expect nothing less from these companies: MESA/Boogie creating some of the most iconic tones in the metal genre, and IK Multimedia just crushing it with TONEX.

These are some legendary boutique amps. Doug West picked these out as the best that MESA/Boogie has produced and we have 5 very distinct, very sought-after models here.

Just the fact that MESA/Boogie and Doug West put time and care into this collection speaks volumes and I love the aesthetics.

Taylor created several custom presets for AmpliTube 5 using the new MESA collection. They're on ToneNET now. Follow the links below and click the media tab to hear demos.

• Mix Ready Chugs
