The Miami-based studio has partnered with IK Multimedia to release 142 premium Tone Models captured from their extensive amp collection.
Miami’s Heiga Studios has spent 20 years amassing an impressive collection of microphones, analogue gear, and amplifiers whilst working on multi-platinum albums and Latin Grammy-winning projects. Now, those tones are available to anyone with IK Multimedia’s ToneX.

The Heiga Studios Amp Series for ToneX includes nine guitar collections and one bass collection, totalling 142 premium Tone Models captured from some of the studio’s most iconic and rarest amplifiers. Each has been meticulously engineered by Adrian Morales-Demori, Heiga Studios’ co-founder and head of audio and music production.
“I’ve been a fan of IK Multimedia for many years—from using T-Racks at the beginning of my career to creating Heiga’s Dolby Atmos Studio with the MTM Immersive bundle and, of course, AmpliTube and ToneX,” Morales-Demori explained. “So when the opportunity arose to bring our amps through our microphones and analogue gear to ToneX and ToneNet, I jumped at it.”
The process wasn’t quick. Morales-Demori spent countless hours over several months testing multiple guitar amps, settings, and cabinets whilst refining microphone placements, phase alignment, mic preamps, EQ, and compressors. The result is a collection that captures the full signal chain—not just the amp, but Heiga Studios’ entire approach to tone.
“The Heiga Studios Amp Series for ToneX gives people the option to use guitars that sound like they were recorded at Heiga Studios, even if you’re across the world, recording in your bedroom,” explained Mark Kondrat, product specialist and sales manager at IK Multimedia. “There are amazing amps in this collection—hard-to-find amps, vintage amps, boutique amps, things we sometimes don’t have access to as musicians and guitar players.”
Each collection includes Morales-Demori’s personal style and genre-specific presets, making it straightforward to dial in tones that work for specific musical contexts. Whether you’re chasing pristine cleans, vintage breakup, or modern high-gain tones, the presets provide solid starting points shaped by decades of professional recording experience.
The Tone Models work across the entire ToneX ecosystem, including ToneX software for Mac and PC, plus compatible hardware like TONEX Pedal and TONEX ONE. They’re also usable within AmpliTube 5 where supported.
Malury Imbernon, co-founder and CEO of Heiga Studios, sees the collaboration as a significant milestone: “From our humble beginnings as an independent, minority woman-owned studio, this collaboration with IK Multimedia—creating our first Collection Series with Adrian’s expertise—represents a meaningful step and the exciting possibilities ahead.”
The Heiga Studios Amp Series for ToneX is available now as individual collections or as a complete bundle via ToneNet and the ToneX software marketplace. Explore the collection here.
