SPONSOR HIGHLIGHT · IK Multimedia · WIN a TONEX Pedal at the Birthday Bash! · Oct 16 · Nashville 👉 songtown.com/birthday-bash-creative-xperience/
One lucky Birthday Bash attendee is going home with a TONEX Pedal! 🙌
TONEX uses IK's AI Machine Modeling to recreate amps, cabs, and pedals so accurately they sound like the real gear. That puts a whole rig of legendary tones at your feet, with no computer needed. For songwriters, it's even better off the stage. It doubles as a USB audio interface, so you can plug in and track guitar on your demos. It has a headphone output for late-night writing sessions that won't wake up the house. And it comes with TONEX MAX and AmpliTube 5 software, so the same tones work inside your DAW.
Huge thanks to IK Multimedia for supporting SongTown's 12th Annual Birthday Bash & Creative Xperience! Check out TONEX 👉 www.ikmultimedia.com/products/tonexpedal/?pkey=ton…

Our live song feedback show returns with top music publisher Jenny Hall (Senior Creative Director, Peermusic) joining SongTown Co-Founder and multi-#1 hit songwriter Clay Mills.
Submitted songs get played and critiqued live — real, unfiltered publisher feedback on what's working, what isn't, and what it takes to get a song to the next level. Even if your song isn't in the queue, this is a masterclass you'll want a notebook for. Watching other writers get notes is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own ear.
Members and non-members welcome. Free to watch. Bring a friend.
