STL Tones' signature-tone platform, sold as a $14.99 per month subscription or an outright licence from $249.
Watch
STL Tones' own channel shows Dan Braunstein's favourite presets, while JOSHRIFFS plays the Emily Wolfe clean tones from the library.
Why it matters
The library is the product: 7,000+ tones traced from studios and artists, which is a different offer from a fixed amp list you edit yourself. The 2026 additions — NAM profile import and royalty sharing through the Trace Exchange — mean your own captures can be published and earn rather than only used privately. Tracer also captures your rigs without extra hardware.
Note
ToneHub is STL Tones' long-running signature-tone platform, sold as an All Access subscription at $14.99/month or an outright licence from $249. In 2026 the platform added NAM profile import and royalty-sharing for user captures, keeping it central to the capture-based tone economy.
