All user reviews for the Vox Tonelab SE

CHARACTERISTICS see on this page (http://www.voxamps.co.uk/products/tonelab/tonelab_se.htm).

The machine is of robust design, while mtal, portards the game and do not seem trsrsistants.

Related questions: not unlike the output numrique Tonelab tabletop version and no USB. However the device can be connected to the PC via the MIDI and it has an effects loop.

UTILIZATION

Gnrale configuration is very simple. I do not think you can be classified as CATEGORY "I want my sound 2 seconds." If indeed we can find a good sound trs quickly, you can also spend time on the machine to make the sound.

Just for making sounds, nothing ever does so easy and intuitive. Like any analog gear: turning the knob and changes the sound effectively. The camera menu is also limited to MIDI and the choice between exit and AMP Line.

The manual. Worth dtour! beyond to be good and sufficient trs is the way people fawn Vox Submitted home the hardware.
Little Quiz Vox:

1 - MODEL This is a low PDAL APRS baptize one of the least apprcis rodents of the plant (about one of distortion pedals )

2 - A model of shooting a traditional analogue flanger that "dchainquot, one of the greatest guitarists Whereas by many as the" god of tapping both hands. "(About a flanger)

SOUND QUALITY

If reading the book is funny, ds that we touch the machine, everything returns srieux.

Simulations: Excellent! ralistes, they are perfect all kinds of music, except for ultra-mtal and others (even if I believe in the register any amp simulator is effective). Vox has taken care to offer the original amps rglages. If there was no SETTING THE gnral volume on the original amp, there will not be on the Tonelab SE.
I branch blues, jazz and fusion type UZEB Tonelab and it is right up my alley.

The speakers: I did not test mixer but on computer. L simus the speaker is excellent and perfectly fulfill their rle. They all bear a stamp and diffrent any amp simulation derrire.

The modulations of variable quality. Pitch Shifter example suffers from latency and sound trsmtallique. In contrast, chorus, flanger or even the octave are good trs. The Wahwah Vox is a choice of 847 or 848 (Clyde McCoy signature). On this point no surprise, the quality is l.

The dlais and rverbes: dlais the trs are good, several types, all usable. Nothing wrong. The rverbes are good, some may sound a bit but there mtalliques paramtres adjustable enough to make adjustments.

The Stompboxes: The quality is also to go, even if I am not convinced by all modlisations, the Tube Screamer for example, is not hot enough I think the Tonelab SE, unlike I possde true. This is not the case, however, the simulation of RAT (rponse question 1) which according to one friend "is the same."

I play with a Lag Roxanne Standard 1000 bought two years ago now on a Marshall MG-100 DFX. I have not had time to do tests on effects loop on the clean channel of the amp, the amp's effects loop Tonelab, etc.. your exact but is excellent. Of course, we must think out of the switch Tonelab amp line.
I use rgulirement studio Fender Twin, Roland JC-120, Fender Hot-Rod Deluxe, JCM800, 900 and 2000 and the sound of the Tonelab is close to the Ralite trs.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several days, only computer and amp home. First concert in a month, I think I will update this time to confirm or refute my opinion on this product.

For now I am extremely satisfied. Positives? I do not know which name as PRIOR! There normment!
Look -> light + dual expression pedals silver + red LEDs, + case mtal = 10/10
Sound -> simus ralistes + + all usable combinations with good effect = 9.5/10 (trs sound enthusiasts will not find heavy forcment got them though ...)

In addition it is a book with a cover in rigige matriau cordura type. What more? CONNECTIVITY a PC? the machine is easy enough to use without it. May be an optical? the same is not a big default as the quality of the gear is good.

I have not had the opportunity to test Live XT and GT-8. I think a lot about the GT-8 and Boss gnral, but I think the Tonelab SE or for use LIVE Studio is much better than the GT-8. I do not rule in the future of acqurir a GT-Pro, but there again, the quality of this device galera does that of the Vox?

Bought 440 effectcenter Paris, I would do without hsiter choice!

Systm trs complete and relatively easy to use

UTILIZATION

Everything is no problem

SOUND QUALITY

For this point I venture to put a notice on this forum:
The Vox ToneLab is an excellent multi-effects and amp models are really nice.
I have fun playing it, but it must be clear, the sound quality is not comparable to a system that luxury.
Do not imagine that on "AC30 with treble boost" you're going to scare Brian May.
The definition of sound is always less prcise with a system that simulation.
This is important because prciser lisanrt advice personally, I thought that was a ring with the same quality as my VHT GP3 Systm, Marshall EL34 2X 100, TC Electronics GForce, Marshall 4X 12 vintage
So the no! trs is not much but it's really good but is more versatile 2 ct one of the other there is no picture
Similarly, I would say the sound of each guitar is a little packed in the same bag with the VOX while the amplification values ​​quoted above any of his grade.
Mange all things as I do not regret this purchase

OVERALL OPINION

For price quality ratio is against a top

See everything the site says or does Vox

UTILIZATION

It's pretty simple to use, but it is a factory gas useless (I explain why below)

SOUND QUALITY

Effects as much as you want, what for?
The simulation ... it parat some prfrent the inflatable dolls (that mchant, I think so!).
What effect I prfre when the Tonelab is dyed! (Apologies for the humor)

OVERALL OPINION

I'll play the empcheur around in circles.
As for the hardware boxes which I think does not MRIT same.
To place myself, with more than 50 years, I prfre authenticity of these devices. If you dress in a Twingo Ferrari, you will not have a Ferrari.
A friend informed me that prter multi-effects for me to try it and it does not t my dception.
The dressing, all you want, the real one is away!
Plus, who can certify that it will use all the effects (some trs relatives) on offer, or those crs, the feet are warm on scne to switch because the other unless you want to tap dance at the same time!
I test a sound system for amplification neutral for me this tape of the eye. A beautiful woman makeup too.
When I board on my Fender lights, I suddenly will appreciate the warmth, roundness and everything of his I had.
I quickly packed up the Vox to return the expditeur regretting the hours that I had passed on, yet knowing that I left with a positive attitude after reading DIFFERENT review
At the friend who was the Vox prt Ricardo Moyano (a large matre, see online). He took the Tlcaster (to try) which had t make me use a BMD. There was virtually no effect on the Tonelab and when he has played c'tait magic, he would have had a rotten guitar in hand, it would have t as magical.
Résumé in a nice little amp lamps, two small pedals (distortion + chorus) and a trs good technique and it will be perfect.
It is tempting to hide the weakness of his game by layers of effects, such as makeup can mask an ugly button, but the illusion does not last long. It is useless to copy a particular sound of any guitar, you have to play as we feel, with its guts, to make a key piece, and not to imitate the magic happen (the sample included no shortage of fabulous ).
You have to work his instrument well matriser, the effects will be useless.
If I could, through my opinion (only mine), at least discourage a person from making this purchase I would be happy. Let simple, let's zen .........
In conclusion, my apologies for this svrit this is only my opinion and I fully assume. I give everyone the right not to be agree with my opinion and for some owners to be happy with this device, although rflchir before making this purchase and ask the right questions.
I will end with the beautiful phrase of a reader / user, who has written for me to comment: "It's the marketing that goes CRER needs nonexistent." This sentence is very clear and gave me a great pleasure. A MDIT srieusement.
Good music.

Everything is said in the CHARACTERISTICS. I put an 8 because it lacks an outlet for the home studio numrique c'tait and top notch. Without a, 8, DSOL ...

UTILIZATION

Pure rgal use. It's like the real amp, you move a one knob millimtre has you change your sound. This is something not found in pod. In addition, the initial sound is not dnatur. You put a JEM and a BC rich in a pod, you will have the same sound, you do the same thing with the ToneLab, has changed dramatically. The hyper rglages are intuitive, simple and trs trs complete. It's nice!

SOUND QUALITY

EMU in 0404 with an ALESIS M1 ACTIVE MK2 for now I only test home studio setup. First concert in one month in the cellar Zique MCON I dir over that time. What will be given t on my mesa recto 4x12? For home, factory presets are, as often, not great. Fo rgler, handling, tampering, hacking and started coming. Yesterday, he sounded better than before dja yesterday and today, it sounded much better than yesterday. So Fo time. At today: the main strength: the roundness and warmth of the lamp. Less bright than the pod, prcis less, but more warm, fat and slimy, like a lamp what. This is most excellent. Nomtal, go your way. Fan of Black Sabbath, heavy or the 80/90s, is all it takes. This bluff me the most is the floor of effects (modlisation, chorus, rverb, delay). It's thundering, enough to build a clean sound crisp and clear fall for arpges bluffing. 8 for short time because I have not found the big sound of death for killing ki distos (I approach day APRS days).

See next section for advice several months of use APRS

OVERALL OPINION

Tros tt to give a full review. I will say good working basis. Dconcertante ease of handling and programming. Natural warmth of the lamp, multi-effects section trs well made. Floor simulation amp less convincing than the pod pro sound quality but catching the lamp ECC83. Trs robust for scne. Lack of connectivity for recording numrique. Trs good feeling for expression pedals. Request further test to be able to more than 8. Lack of patch on the Internet (harder to find than the pods). Software and MIDI transfer very simple and fully developed for rglage presets

Back on APRS ToneLab several months. Ay g is the big sound of my dreams! A real killing. How a device like a ti he can do to get power and a grain like ...? G DMOS I can send you via MSN: contact me on "jeanmarcbertrand1@hotmail.com" It's stunning.

So I changed my rating: 8, I spend 9! (Still not 10 because of severe lack of optical output ...)

As for patches, the online community of users continues to grow Tonelab days APRS days with more and more sites conus, there are now all it takes. Excellent!

In short, the sale? Never! Buying a life! And for the price and more ... Less than 500 euros, it's crazy! VOX thank you!

For specifications, see the official website of Vox if they are! (And they are)

To summarize: The Tonelab SE is an amp simulator with a few basic effects, which can plug into a guitar amp or live on a sound system or recorder.

UTILIZATION

The ToneLab has a gaggle of buttons and knobs, but it is very easy to use: Most of the buttons are for one function and one, so we found it very quickly once you took his bearings .
Editing sounds is simply to turn the knobs and save the configuration once you have obtained the desired sound, hard to get any easier.
After, there is more than the scroll at the bottom.
It's simple, practical and effective.

SOUND QUALITY

Here we are!
For my part, I use the ToneLab amp free, live on the table and I hear in my returns. As I play keyboards and guitar on some tracks, I was looking for a machine to do without a guitar amp on stage, but still have a good sound and some effects.
The result is very good to my ears (and also the rest of the group): The sounds obtained are really good, warm, very clean, there is no sound loud or aggressive in the treble (do not exaggeration of the equalization, of course), the illusion of the amp is there. I had a Pod 2.0 before, I find that the quality of the ToneLab is better and more consistent: It can sound very well on all types of sound, especially in clean & crunch.
The effects are provided the basic effects and they are quite successful. So actually, you can not chain after 10000, but hey, as long as we can have a chorus + reverb, me, it is more than enough, otherwise use as a synthesizer!

OVERALL OPINION

I have my ToneLab for several months now, but I waited a concert before posting my opinion: In sum, the sound comes out of this thing is really pleasing to the ear, either in clear or in crunch in full. It's less than a good amp, of course (less dynamic, less attendance, less "light"), but it's still very good (no sound shrill or metallic), and that's what I looking for. In addition, the ToneLab respects the nuances of the different microphones: the sound changes color when I splits the pickups (Seymour Duncan of) my guitar single / humbucker
I had a Pod 2.0 before, I prefer the Vox by far! (But then it's also a matter of taste)

Note:
-Factory presets are not great, let's say there are too many sound "gadget" and are good to throw away. It's a shame you can not use it as a "working base" for each modeled amp.
The beast, still demand a certain learning curve regarding the development of presets, get a good sound is not immediate, given the number of parameters to be set.

With experience, this choice I would do without hesitation!

First, it really changes a digital multi-effects!
Of course, we are used to press the button "Clapton," on the "Satriani", & Co. .. there, not that! It is true, as the other guys here say, it depends on what you plug into it. Here, no cheating, a Fender Strato does not sound like a Gibson SG. Like the good old days; advantage and disadvantage. We love it or hate it.
I like. I knew the old pedals that blow, and Digital. But here, at least, was sound, stage and studio (tested and made compraisons).
It sounds real, direct, or even too much sometimes, but "YFO métrizé labeti"

In addition, if you get lost in the prog, yet simple, try the program on PC (Mac?), Who saves everything, and facilitates manipulations.

UTILIZATION

The config, just read, and edit on a regular computer.
To edit, if a zikos says "it's too sharp, there," just select "amp", and adjust the treble. Is that clear? Then later, if it's going, press 2 times "write", and oh surprise, it's still! No more simple, basic.

The layout of pedals can be full of surprises. For that, better to use the editor. A pedal may control the intensity of the echo or the speed of the phaser, while the other will be a wha, instead of the volume, or something else, if you want! the dream, it's been 30 years I expected that. (Reference to a user of my age who did not like).

The big thing is the ability to calibrate the tempo of the echo with "control". For example, when the drummer moves his chopsticks, press the button 4 times ur, and the echo will syncrhro with the song. Same with the flanger, phasing, etc ...

SOUND QUALITY

The sound, well, it's more "live amp" that many pedals "mega-turbo-over-destroyer", but it depends on what you do. I have also a Line 6 Guitar Port, which only works on my PC (when the shit does not usb). But here, there's no words. It is "scratch".

Tested with: Fender Strato, Vigier Passion2, Apex 84, Ovation Country legend ...
Every time? well, cest not the same!

About using MIDI, the parameters are recognized in Cubase SX when you move the pedals, but the tempo of the echo does not seem to react to the tempo change (for now at least). Too bad, it could make a real "VST hardware".

In addition, for the most reticent, it can disengage the effects presets to use as a set of independent pedals. Plus a built-in tuner.

For cons, the weight is there. But it must be done to deter zikos smoking and drinking, especially if we take DELIVERIES (joke, though ...)! but hey, given the number of amp heads and cabinets you are carrying. That said, it looks solid. (Hey, Vox is Chinese?)

OVERALL OPINION

It's been one month that I have, and I find a real difference (besides, my hair grows on the front). I do not master yet, but it's like buying a set of pedals. Do not worry, just a little practice.

The price? I got it new for € 420 ... in Audio Partner to Pigalle. 15 days of waiting, but hey, close to home, it is still worth € 500!

As y 'is one that has already been said, buy 4 or 5 pedals "vintage", and do the accounts.

I would do this choice, except of course the day they come out the version "over + mega trick"

So this pedal is an amp simulator and not a multi purpose (what I thought at the beginning ...) and plays his role very well! technology combines analog and digital thanks to the bottle! sounds are easily editable! even via a PC with appropriate software!

UTILIZATION

Operation is very simple, of the edebut, we chose a lighter sound and it sounds! I personally hung the vulgar from the beginning! Yes, I came across it directly as I turned, I look no further my first reaction was: I want it !!!!!!
The manual is clear and little more french! that happiness!

SOUND QUALITY

So the surprise I loved her just the famous vulgar! regardless of the amp will sound great! certainly different from one amp to another but keep the grain researc! I use an ibanez rg370 therefore (I adore and who is given his sh13 soon!) and I have nothing to add I love it!

OVERALL OPINION

Superb!

That says it all ...

UTILIZATION

Trs simple configuration.
Editing sounds easy, intuitive.
Manuel trs clear, effective and even pdagogique.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are sufficient.
Start with an Essay.
Part prampli, modlisation is ... flateuse but inefficient.

OVERALL OPINION

I found the friendly edition trs, the sufficient effect, perfect ergonomics, the robust chassis, trs attractive prices, in short, everything to please.
Well NO!
Not at all.
Obviously clean sounds 'go', but plug a Start into a DI Avalon and direct console, which is 100 times better.
The crunch is saturated, distortion, overdrive, ... all have the same defect: total lack of prsence.
None of these sounds do not emerge from a mix, even in qulisant, compressing ...
Sr good home, with your amp, headphones or your speakers, you'll find a huge, warm, brilliant ... How flattering.
But scne, your sound will merge with that of the breakdown of the club, and this, regardless of the receiver cabinet configuration chosen.
The amps are modlisations trs good, bravo for the research and Fidler (MODEL for each, the buttons change fontion we journey through the history of the guitar ...) but DSOL made less and better:
those who want a Twin achtent a Twin, and those who love achtent Boogie Boogie.
Instead of giving us the means to do our sound, this device offers plenty of sound dj STRP, but fake.
I played on Roland VG-88, by the way, I go back no light in it but the same in the dark, it sounds!.
The VG-88, we start from nothing, everything is Settings, and do you do your sound.
I will not go this choice, since I returned.

No need to return to this point, everyone knows the characteristics of the machine, or go see the other view, detailed enough on the issue. I just regret the lack of USB connectivity but hey it would mean a score of 9.99 .. j'arondi good and I put 10 ^ ^

UTILIZATION

A highlight of the ToneLab! Very easy to use. At first I grant you saw it may seem scary, buttons has no end. Fortunately the designers are very well thought out operation, optimized for the stage. Everything is at hand (or foot) and not have to go searching through menus to edit sound. You turn the knobs, the sound is happiness. ^ ^ If the manual is excellent for those who will be lost copy of clarity and simplicity!

SOUND QUALITY

So what about this? Well hats off Vox! A multitude of sounds together into a single pedal his somewhat impressive, but when we hear more on the quality of modeling is in love! Effects, contrary to what one can hear, are not far behind. Of course prefer a neutral amp, a PA or headphones to amplify the ToneLab, not typed amp too, but hey its still happening. By disabling the modulation amp I have access to a good amount of effects of very good quality for my valbee, and I turn the modulations when I go through my headphone. The sound is always excellent!

OVERALL OPINION

Its been 2 weeks now I have and love! The lamp n'aporte aparence not just marketing as some say, but a true sound quality! I can be a simulation can least three correct mesa boogie but it's a personal opinion, if I like it! This is my first multi purpose and probably my last, I intend to keep! Quality / price ratio excellent, or sounds for many buy "a scores of effects pedals, the AC30, JCM800, Triple Rectifier ...." I stop right there but you understand that the budget is not really the same. Good because the sound will be probably better with the amp and pedal original but still a good price to see it going to take ... Personally I find my happiness in this amp simulator, and if I repeat this choice Devaya well ... I would not have it again because I keep it ^ ^ anyway I plan to buy to go with a PE60 ...

See previous ones opinion and official website.

UTILIZATION

A Premire for the ToneLab SE is quite dstabilisant but you get done quickly trs.

Configuration instinctive manual clear and Retailer.

Prsence of the two pedals of expression is a +.

SOUND QUALITY

Audio quality level is stunning confess.
I had read many positive opinion about it but I really t surprised by the warmth of the sound. A single lamp, but you can feel good.

APRS I do not know all the original amps so I can not talk too much about the "fidlitquot; simulations, but again the sound quality is excellent.

The factory presets are correct but the pleasure comes when you called your own sounds (trs INTUIVA Fawn by the way).

However I have a doubt regarding the utlisation the ToneLab SE for the big mtal (for dpanner OK but not if you only play was finally in my opinion), shows all the bte its potential in the sound blues, rock, hard rock of ACDC, punk, and vintage gnral. APRS I play with microphones SH1 and SH4 then orients vintage, that is why the TSE me.

The effects are more or less Russian and useful, sometimes with duplicates (eg rotary effect). A BMOL for the wah wah to me, I recommend having one dedicates pedals. The modulations are correct if we take the time to find the sound you want). The reverb and delay are of good quality overall.

Prsence of the two pedals again be very useful.

Anyway that's good, the good rev. I think everything has t say about that.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 or 4 months now.
I love the simplicity of using the can (live as in-home studio) and the quality of sounds, including the heat of the amp simulation.

I never tried other amp simulators except that of my Cube-30 (not too similar) so I can not compare.

Résumé in the Tonelab SE is an excellent compromise for those who want to address a wide range of musical styles without buying more amps. Obviously a is not a good all-tube amp, but the prices can have fun dj without rob a bank

I would do without this choice hsiter.

Silent says it all

UTILIZATION

Operation is intuitive and trs is partly why I turned to the TSE. No need to spend a sleepless night for paramtrer sounds all done using knobs (like on an amp). We turn, has come!
Prsence the two expression pedals is also more compared to competitors.
The manual is very well done, clear trs, trs well explained points APRS points, and trs forcment subjective reading everything is great.

SOUND QUALITY

Well, as I often read ds forum, it is foremost an amp simulator, not a multi-purpose. If you therefore seeks to effect straight out of a sci-fi movie, will not be a good tool. There's just all the Necessary for guitar players and it is still one of the reasons behind my choice: I did not want to find myself with tons of effects, half of me would never and are more galre rgler. L I have what I need (Chorus, flanger, delay, reverb).

I start with good points ngatifs (which are my own):
- The Rducteur noise, I find it efficient trs. For my part I qd even a lot of buzz, especially with distorted sounds. I use the paralllement rducteur my old BOSS GX700 works much better. But I tjs a buzz of the power supply of the TSE and microphones in my scraper (a left-handed Fender Stratocaster made in Japan) but the it is a pb inhrent my guitar left-handed Japanese Mr. ... (There is a post about it on the forum)
- Pitch Shifter: not good
- The Ring Mod: never had my Boss GX700 useful, has not change with the TSE.
- One point which we do not talk enough, no doubt: you can edit only one effect of the "pedals" is - that if you want a wha wha and a compressor example (or maybe a fuzz or overdrive ... etc) for the same, well, it's not possible! Is to know.

Well, now the positives:
- Sound: clearly orient "vintage". Do not say the clean sounds are excellent, all amps combined. The crunch sounds are great also. Distos sounds are good for hard trs fawn AC DC, Led Zep and Deep Purple. APRS was not all the means to afford a Mesa or ENGL. We do with what we have, and it is more than satisfactory.
The 16 amp panel modliss provide more than enough for what I do.
- Channels A and B: very practical, they offer the possibility to edit two DIFFERENT amps and cabinets, potentially two DIFFERENT sounds for a given program. What I do personally is to use as a clean channel and a channel distortion, using the same amp but the gain rglant Different.
- Fashion Fx or "effect pedals" to enable or to cut diffrent sections. This allows you to add an overdrive solos of your time and then remove it. Ditto for the modulation, delay and rverb.
- Switch Control: Allows diffrent manipulations, tap tempo for the delay, on / off certain effects.
- The two expression pedals: trs useful. Many functions are assignable to the pedals, the list is rather long example is the tps of delay, the drive of one of the pedals of distos the wha (off course), volume, etc ... . They may be on or off using a small switch in situ them. Just a lgre pressure on the top of the pedals.
Voil I did not turn prs.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about a month.
What I parat the less convenient it is to change Manir programs. Two switches up and down to change the bank and the switches 1 4 for changing preset. Obviously not to go from preset 1 to 4 bank, for example, four of the bank 9 or 20! Fortunately I have the solution: use a pdalier noon to control the change of the TSE program, which allows me to leave and more activate FX. (My Yamaha MFC10 which I used to drive my Boss GX700 is not yet retired).
What I like most: clean sounds and crunch, the two pedals and expression ... the bag to carry!
Good quality price, buy nine for 449.
It's a choice I would do.
In good résumé trs pdalier if you are looking vintage sounds and you play jazz, blues, pop / rock or heavy metal of Led Zep. A fair bit of the same for any large distos trs.

Amp simulator, blah blah blah ...

UTILIZATION

Using ToneLab SE is simple, which takes time is finding the sound you have in mind. There are many functions and so the possibilities are numerous.

Editing sounds is easy but again, we will have to spend time to tune the sound with onions. The factory presets are nice, but they are mostly there to give examples of what can be achieved. The use of impact is often exaggerated, it hits you right away to the ears and you say "Oh yeah, we can do that!"

The manual is well fucked, entirely in French, but it does not replace testing / personal errors. It is used to find out what are the knobs, but obviously it is difficult to describe his writing, much less to give all possible combinations. Read this before you try for yourself ...

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are realistic? I do not know, I've never played any of the amps in the Tonelab SE, so ...
The effects are effective, numerous combinations multiply the possibilities. For rock and pop / rock, it's perfect. For other styles, see other opinions, I do not know (heavy, thrash, jazz, bossa nova ...), I do not practice.

I tested the Tonelab SE with the following gear:
- Electro-acoustic Seagull
- Ibanez electric guitar, telecaster type

Connected to:
- Amp electro-acoustic Peavey EFX-110 (position on Tonelab SE Amp)
- Marshall Amp 100W studio again (on position Tonelab SE Amp)
- Hifi amplifier Cambridge Audio + JBL (Tonelab SE Line of position)
- Monitoring speakers Event Electronics TR8 (Tonelab SE Line of position)
- The headphone, Beyer Dynamic DT990 Pro

Regardless of the setting (setting personal or factory preset), the sound with the electro is clearer than the power, which seems quite logical. Distortion-free sound is distorted when I use it with the electric guitar. Therefore fine tuning to get a sound similar (but will of course not identical) when changing guitar but we want to keep roughly the same sound.

I found the sound very loud and rough by plugging the Tonelab SE amp Peavey for the electro-acoustic and playing with my electro-acoustic. Of all the combinations I tried, it was the least pleasing to the ear. Disappointing. Is it due to the amp (which has a beautiful sound when I plug my guitar just above, without added effect) that is not provided for this? Is that the result would be the same on another electro-acoustic amp? I do not know, but in my case, the result is not very pleasant.

On Marshall amp, with my electro-acoustic, the result is a little garish, and be careful to adjust the gain on a low level to avoid feedback. But by playing with the settings (including lowering the treble and the bass a little amount), I scored very correct, though a bit tiring after a while. I have not tried to play the electric guitar in this configuration. I will post my opinion once it's done.

On stereo amp, the result is very good, either with electro-acoustic or electric. My pregnant aging unfortunately tend to get a little to the serious, but due to my speakers. Knowing this, I would like included in the result. By plugging headphones into the amp, the result is much better because my headphone is better than just my speakers, so the amp is not at issue.

With a headset connected directly to the headphone output of the Tonelab SE, the sound is also very good. Again, it depends on the headphones used. I tried the walkman with headphones is not great , closed with headphones Sony, average quality (purchased within 60 euros) is ... medium, but with my DT990 Pro is excellent!
And this, both with an electro-acoustic with an electric.

Finally, I got the best result on my monitor speakers (well, on one, I plugged directly puique Tonelab SE on one of my pregnant TR8). While there, the sound is excellent, accurate. However, the result with good headphones or plugged into the Tonelab SE directly or connected to the stereo amp, gives a result almost as good. But still, it's more fun to play openly agree, rather than just the headphone!
And again, both with an electro-acoustic with an electric.

Well, so it's great, but it has the quality of the items you plug the Tonelab SE is good, otherwise the sound quality may become poor. Finally I say that because I took the time to experiment and I could compare, but no point of comparison in any case, the Tonelab SE provides the tones varied and of excellent quality .

OVERALL OPINION

I use the Tonelab SE for only a few days (great Christmas !).

What I like most: the sound, with some excellent work. The possibilities for extremely large configurations. A priori, its strength, even if it is too early to judge.
What I like least: it's big anyway for the home studio. My girlfriend is beginning to accumulate crisis to see the stuff in the room, not to mention the son who piled under the desk ... Anyway, on stage or in repeats is not a problem.

Regarding the price, I paid exactly 404 euros (four hundred) in Bonneuil Milonga (Paris region). After thinking a mistake, another reader of the site told me it had paid the same price in another Milonga (Grenoble). So far as I know the lowest price we could find in France or elsewhere in Europe. Until the other line up

"It is simple, there is everything to play rock or more typical vintage 90s, blues, funk, whatever you want ... APRS is on, the spirit of the vox is so for large distos mtal, will look elsewhere, it's not really the IDAL even if the sounds of front or large marshall plutt are effective! we will say that it is not his major focus. effect level, there are 11 types of pedals (wah, auto wah, fuzz, octave, ovedrive, distortion, treble boost ,...), 11 types of modulations (flanger, chorus, Filtron, rotary, voice .. .) and 11 types of reverb, 11 types of delays, as saying that There's plenty to do.
It ToneLab possde a miniature lamp beautifully.
Nivau pc-connection is not great, the cable is not provided, and there's not much tweaking, but if any APRS Research and vintage it has been, we will not s'embter go rummaging on a PC.
-Connectivity: from a jack, Stereo out, MIDI IN connectors / out, effects loops.

UTILIZATION

Trs single-configuration from what I've seen on other pdaliers (including boss ...). a stepfather may seem complicated to beginners, but finally did not. ts is reached quickly find fiddling sounds great, and there is plenty of room to store what you want (96 programmable sounds).
To the u-is simple. we choose the type of amp and cabinet that will possibly with, then add what you want. pedals, modulation, reverb, delay. everything is very easy ditable. again, one of the great strengths of the ToneLab RSID in both pedals. and can be assigned a volume and PDAL was then free for other pedals use: wah, speed delay, flanger, delay reverb intensity, feedback, and company, and it trs tr s INTERESTED.
-The manual is clear trs, trs really nice and full. there are many indications of all effects, sound and proposals, including correspondences between amps and cabinets. In addition, any operation there is very well explained and with great simplicity.

SOUND QUALITY

Trs-all is generally good. the reverb leave us a choice, as the delays, some nice trs, including the delay in cross Stereo or otherwise. the wah is trsraliste, making trs fun, distos the pedals are good, and simulations trsralistes. sr specially mentions many simulations of vox, but also in fender or marshall who are really smashing.
I use a fender telecaster american deluxe hotrail up with, all connected to a tech 21 (the ideal solution to boost the ToneLab). Well a ring of hell!
I'm a fan of their particulirement wah, trsrussie, and some overdrive too bourrines kind of tube or super od od. APRS is a TRS good distortion pedals including the orange, which is good fun. I use a lot of simulations and vox fender for clean and crunch, and the plutt Marshall and company for sounds more saturated.
a little regret because I think a capital: the tremolo. it is good up to a certain degree. if you want a seriously hach ​​you can not do with the ToneLab. certainly, by pushing the bottom, you have a fairly clear distinction, but hey, a little more t have a well. and also some effects would have t be welcome, like a little whammy, we could tweak, but that will never be the height of the real whammy.

OVERALL OPINION

I recently prs 8 months.
I love the variation on his mind and relatively vintage: we can have both sound antiquated, but also more modern. I also like its solid even if I have a squeaky pedals right now, but it's not much, a lil shot of grease and go. I do not really blame him working stream, I love this pdalier. plus he has a really great look!
I had tried before the boss or digitech pdaliers I never apprci and ToneLab Has my rvlation, a true marvel!
report quality price level, it is not intubated. Although it is a pdalier quite expensive, but considering the quality of the sounds and the product, we do not have at all!
if I ever buy a pdalier, for whatever reason, mo DEFINITIONS choice will turn to the ToneLab is both On success it met my needs. vox to Arussi THE pdalier destiny vintage rock guitarists.

I think everything has been said.

UTILIZATION

The use of the pedals is very intuitive and well thought out. The only downside would be having to bend down to change settings and especially the fact that some effects are not used simultaneously because stored in the same section: not to have such a Fuzz and Wah-Wah simultaneously (frustrating Hendrixophiles for our friends). The ability to have two channels for the same bank keeps its settings in effect while moving from a clean saturation for example.

SOUND QUALITY

While some effects are little if at all, they are generally of good quality and allow all sorts of sound experiments: special mention has to compress the Wah and modulation effects. Combined with modeling amps and speakers of very good quality they provide a very wide range of sounds even if each has a tendency to toujors program sounds that are similar in terms of its style.
The sounds range from blues to hard rock and if made of metal will just be disappointed, fans of strange sounds and experimental music will find something that suits them as long as he not afraid to hack in every sense.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought mine secondhand (through advertisements Audiofanzine for that matter), I use it for about a year and a half and I'm still glad it by repeating or to record demos. The modulation button gives me a bit of trouble for some time but other than that no problem.
The value for money seems correct and it is a purchase I advise any guitarist looking for sounds of various amps and effects but with little place e on a budget.

FYI, I play with a guitarist who uses this pdalier, and frankly it is much more bored than I am with my config: - pod2 and all-tube amp mesa course more dynamic processors and effects; to find adapted ons s, the more I read the rverberations are excellent?? DSOL trs but far from being the case! failures are numerous and the gear souflle death, we have to add on to hush the sound is clean! in short I can not find this so interesting pdalier, and then in a otut frankly not top its for real.

trs cordially and especially musically.

UTILIZATION

Configure sound is a little complicated, more possible to quickly change to give such a scene can be useful ... in addition, breakdown of super tuner!! brief not top this thing!

SOUND QUALITY

By L against the sound quality is not bad, however, the breath is the sound so Submitted for guitarists called "vitage" but why not own the sound is not!

OVERALL OPINION

While the remaining one is a great Mystra! an 'there is simply no! use for a year and frankly I don not opt ​​for this type of machine. see the number of vox sell on the site, talking to himself!
frankly when comparing a pod or v amp, with quality prices, it is opting for these small machines modlisation couple of good speakers and amps especially good reverb or additional effects.

I think no need to (re) Submitted the MODEL.

Korg is the designer and manufacturer.

Moreover, for those that the price of a little put off bte, try the KORG AX3000G it possde practically the same effects and amp simulations, the light within, but with a quality soundscape is honorable ...

UTILIZATION

The PSE appreil weight and seems pretty robust.

Using intuitive gnrale trs. Just turn the potentiomtres to find the sought-its. The 96 patches (all ditables) are more than enough. Connected via a PC MIDI interface, the edition of sounds is easier: it soon to be bent double ...
The manual is well done, with lots of tips to search his office sounds amps or effects simulated.
Too bad when even the names of the original MODELS are not informed. Ibanez Tube Screamer is called Tube OD, Marshall JTM 45 amplifier is called UK Blues ... For my part I sometimes struggle to find the "real" name of an effect. A shame then.

SOUND QUALITY

The cons for it really well. The effects are trsralistes. For example, I compared a wahwah wahwah simulates a real, personal and well I am unable to make the difference (some may may be).
I mainly use a US LoneStar Start (HSS) and a Fender FM212 amp.
This amp n'tant not an exeptional quality, I plug the Tonelab not in between instrument but between effects loop, and I happiness. The sound is warm, round, and it is leisure will appreciate the quality of simulated DIFFERENT amps. On this point, my prfrs are tweed 2x12 (aka Fender Twin Reverb), the Black 4x10 (aka Fender Bassman), the UK Blues (JTM 45) and the UK 80 (JCM 8OO). And of course the Vox amps (I guess the home ingnieurs Korg been put special care care for these models).
It also possde effect simulates an acoustic guitar rather practitioner. So I wanted to plug my LAG jumbo and idem, it's good. Couraging I therefore pass the economy of a sound amplifier that I missed a bit.

The simulated effects are fairly standard but falls well is those I DSIR ...

OVERALL OPINION

will make a one month that I use extensively in my home or rpt. (Achet mid-December 2005)
Its size is gnreux you do not need to aim for a switch, there is no break when changing patch, the expression pedals are soft and prcises, it's really short scne East.

The report quality price? Just buy 5 or 6 good effects pedals and makes you the price of a Tonelab SE. Well, the ToneLab possde 50 effects, 16 amp models and 11 speaker simulation trs good quality. Trs good report quality price then.

EDIT 12-06-06:

Yesterday problem of switch A / B and one that did not work. Concert imminent, can not send OPG, and impossible without it. Opening the product (properly I would not lose benefitted the warranty). The springs under the situs buttons should "settle" over time. The solution: stick with small labels to reduce the apparent distance-switch. The advantage is that if I put the TLSE rpar I dcolle the labels and my password inaperue intervention ...

Go here http://la-poisse.ifrance.com/ for more info.
EDIT 14-05-07:

More than a year of use and still no problem (Connectivity, food, push buttons, pedals, everything is OK). The bag wears out quickly in the corners, I prvois to make or buy a boiboite to transport it. I do not play electric guitar without my TLSE. Same for recording, I connect a mono output table 01V96, or a sound card E-MU. I record the same sound that comes out (go away) from my amp.

We'll make it short for once:
- There are not thousands of effects and amps, just ncessaire, a magnificent modlisation pedals and amp + speakers all typs trs.
For the rest, see the datasheet.
- Pramp lamp
- All sounds are perfectly JTable (see below)
- Connection: send / return (jack), MIDI I / O (DIN), Jack Stereo Mono 3.5 or 2 jack (left, right) or 2 with any one fawn knob for volume g nral output, input jack (yes bah ...)

- In short, the ncessaire is, for all cases.

ADD THE 13/04/2008: My pdalier DEATH because buttons and shit like the bastard. The switch changes make no difference, Integrated Circuits certainly a bug. This problem is rcurant the Tonelab. This is intolerable on a machine worth 500 lcher leaving you in 3 years!

UTILIZATION

For use, the concept is very simple:
- 1 button (at the foot, of course) can switch to "pedals" or "Preset" (hold = tuner, with a panel of LED Green / Red ddi nothing that a)

- In "pedals", IT CAN BE USED other switch is:
-> Button A / B to change the channel like any amp
-> Button 1-Pedal: to enable / disables effects pedals (distortion or other)
-> Button 2-Modulation: to enable / disables modulation pedals (chorus or other)
-> 3-Button Delay: to enable / disables the time limit PDAL
-> Button 4-Reverb: to enable / disables rverb

- In "Preset"
-> Button A / B to change the channel like any amp
-> 1,2,3,4 Button: to change the memory (14) in the bank select (124)

In short, you can use this pdalier like analog pedals c'tait 4 + 1 amp branches SERIES (former) or as a system that in modern modlisation.

SOUND QUALITY

For rglages, even not need the notch, there's every knob like on the real amps and pedals true, and everything is described directly above.

For the sounds, everything Modl scored his era one time or another, and it's a pleasure to use, especially since it does not Noit in the mass (the choice is not monstrous, a dozen pedals, mod, delay, amp, speaker cabinet, reverb).

All is available immediately without going through a menu that dfile 3 hours, there's that turn and click.

Used with guitar Whale Whalebone 55 (hollowed mahogany set neck Seymour Duncan SH55 Seth Lover). The sound is absolutely gniale, tantt round and soft, dry tantt filthy, according to the amp and pedals chosen. Beautiful large rock to jazz.

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it since its release.
- I love all of this stuff, incredibly easy to use (although sr, you have to fiddle with more than 5 minutes to understand the subtleties ... say an hour with the manual to take advantage of any background) .
- Attention, it is not enough rpter in the manual it is important to rgler parmamtre the "out" according to that on which the branch (guitar amplifier or line). This provides a sound that suited gnialement derrire, but if not rgler, a feedback or the sound is awful).
- The report qualitprix? Gnial, as long as one is "open" (I'm sick of these guys who say that modlisation amp like the amp is not worth it ... even 10 times expensive, still happy!).

- I try other pdaliers the Boss GT8 in particular. This is much more "gas factory", with the added sound very modern (in contrast with the many characters the Tonelab Vintage). I conoit all the same as according to what you want to do, it can also be a solution INTERESTED.

N / A

OVERALL OPINION

N / A

All is said below.

J'apprcie that the effects are not too many: we keep everything a guitarist needs without putting impact 'gadget', often unusable.

The two magnificent prsence pedals of expression is the most beautiful effect, and the number of switches can have fun live and offers many possibilities.

UTILIZATION

Overall, I did not worry, it's pretty simple as long as you read the manual once before engaging in risky rglages!

The software available on the VOX avoids too s'abmer back to look for her!

Even when it is necessary some time to find its own sound, the time to understand all the possibilities of the BTE.

SOUND QUALITY

APRS one year of use, here are the conclusions I draw from:

I love the cleans, as diverse as they are, and regardless of the amp in which the branch has always rings (I have a weakness for cleans Fenderiens.)

Crunches are LGERS type AC30 ausi quite successful (VOX oblige!), I have not really used the others but they seem to me good quality.

For distos is much better than what I've heard on other pdaliers, but for rhythmic mtal has seems a little limited.

But for everything else, I t trs satisfied.
Effects offer incredible opportunities and I spent a lot of time tweaking and more m'clater avec.En trs they sound good when you ask for ?

OVERALL OPINION

I used a year as a guitarist / singer to play alternative rock and pop rock.

Live is really happiness, you press a switch and presto, everything is the effect, simus amp ... No need to play the tap!

The sound is good trs, provided that the receiver plugs into a sufficiently transparent and quality.

I am if I had the same sparmais needs before (have it all under foot and be able to have live sound quality and especially that carries everywhere), I would have the same choice!

In addition to a, pdalier is a tank, it is indestructible.

In the end, it's a good trs pdalier which is a 200th of time, which is really a ridiculous price for a vehicle like a. .. (especially when it was the 450th pay: p)

EDIT: I have not had the problem that some have to switch with, but it's true that a monster like a, it means trs trs from VOX.Heureusement, is a rpar (see tips above AF)

I think everything has been said about the bêêêêêêêêêêêêêêêêêêtte!

UTILIZATION

It's really very intuitive as multieffects

You turn the knobs to select the notch effects, amp modeling and the type of firms. After that the red LEDs that light up and a screen (backlight) that guides us!

The manual is very well done and allows a quick start and efficient machine!

SOUND QUALITY

So yes, it's sending the unit terible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can do it all: I like the distortion and I served with ben!

I tested it live on a mixer, the input device of a Peavey Bandit 112 and my EVAN 60 and the loops and effects is very successful and this on all types of configurations !

The effects are superb and the models are glaring truths!

Together with my LTD / ESP MH 400 or my washburn A5 is a treat for the ears friends.
Especially with the pure joy of modeling mesa / boogie and also the RAT distortion ...
The reverb is terible mainly live on a console and the delay will help you well on stage or in repeated ...

it really can do everything the beast and it remains clear that it will never replace the original models, but it's really stunning and effective

OVERALL OPINION

I sold it not long ago a friend and he was a guitarist myself for 3 years!
What happiness to friends!
I now find the holy grail with EVAN 60 and blackstar ht dual-reni but I do not have the ToneLab mates and if I had to buy one, it'd be the one!
I used to also well on my first 2 albums and I want to reiterate that we really just do everything with a multi like this, the lamp provides a little extra warmth to the overall sound.
The effects are terrible, the models are realistic and the handling is quick and intuitive.
If you saw a voullez go http://www.myspace.com/chookas because I used it on many of the scratches!

Three slices of classic effects pedals and a slice of effects which can be added an effects loop with external pedals:
- Modulation (Tremolo, Chorus, Flanger, etc.)
- Delay (Analog, Rhythm, Hold, Reverse etc)
- Reverb (Spring, Room, Hall etc.)
- PDAL (Compressor, Wah, Auto Wah, Octave Fuzz, overdrive etc.)

The connection is adequate and includes the essential needs of the guitarist:
- Between 6.35 symtrique
- Two output jack symtriques 6.35 (L & R)
- An input and an output jack symtrique 6.35 for effects loop
- Headphone jack 3.5 asymtrique
- Two ports Midi: In / Out

Lacks only numrique output (SPDIF) to avoid going through an analog, but Vox made some adjustments on the latest version: the Tonelab LE.

UTILIZATION

As has often said and t rpt the Tonelab is designed and made for players who do not want to spend most of their time fiddle music buttons!
However, the factory presets have effects exagrment xagrs, forcing spend some time dpart to be preset to "sound" as we like.
(Sometimes the right plan to import via MIDI preset raliss by others to make a little ear and understand how the Tonelab works to get ours)

All effects are ditables knobs directly by bypassing the sub menus of sub menus menus (unlike some of its competitors), even if the simplest and fastest way is when the same edition via Midi with Tonelab SE tlchargeable Editor on the site of Vox (PC and Mac).

The effects are just enough of them to vary the sound, and the least we can say is that they are good programs because the edition is simple but powerful.

Live (for the SE version is really a thought for scne) is the foot!
Pan! in direct box with a return ddi glove and it (and us ing-kiss her because it does not grate the noise of a subculture amp scne on)!
In addition, using the FX switch ON / OFF can be as its name indicates disable and / or activate the slices of the same effects with preset paramtr same effects not Active! Control switch allows for him to have a tap tempo for delay rgler speed, or following the paramtrage preset to activate an effect or parameter.
And I do not even deuxime channel for each amp simulation can be activated by keeping the same pRSET (clear sound -> sound saturated with the same effect) or both p dales of expression also fully paramtrables!

There is no wiggle ten years: ct use is intuitive, practical and powerful. Vox thank you!

SOUND QUALITY

L is really the highlight of the Tonelab: its sound quality.
Algorithms combined with the programming circuit patent Vox by Vox: VOX Valve Reactor (APRS all treatments numriques simulations and effects, there is a Global Warming signal converted to analog by switching to low intensity in a 12AX7).
On this last point, there is clearly dbat between profes-sionals who amplification dnoncent extensive opration Marketing Vox to stamp their product label of "the tube" and the pro- Tonelabeurs (including myself) who use it and find that compared the sound is warmer and more dynamic than that of competing products.
The exact vrit is probably somewhere not far from a 50/50 rev because it is true that the lamp is btement rtro-clear with a orange LED by Vox, another ct there is the success of the Valvetronix SERIES (Vox amp transistors modlisation) and all versions of the Tonelab to prove that guitarist in marketing communications can sale but will never replace the return of the tural user satisfaction, and ultimately his choice, dictated by his ears.

Effects on the quality, they are good without being exceptional (not the level of high-end pedals ddies that unites cost half the price of Tonelab).
Some cons are just for use as the compressor, and the octave, for example.
But trs honntement working out its presets, you can get sounds absolutely magical!

The quality of simulation is trs good, especially if you like the sound Fender, Vox, Marshall, and with little gain.
The simulations of high gain amps do not sound modern or "high gain" or "modern"!
But for the right rock up to the saturation AC / DC is all that playable.

OVERALL OPINION

It'll be two years I have, and never had a problem with.
Then it sr, with a system that the chain of production, one is never safe from a manufacturing default but normally there is a guarantee!
At least one caregiver (no drop, no pogo above, press the switch reasonably etc.): the Tonelab is made to last!

It really is a superb machine, which I am quite unable to do without today.
I emmne everywhere RPET, scne, oxen with friends ...
And whatever its mode of amplification: sound system, amp neutral Tech21 PE60, Hifi speaker ...
It always comes out with flying colors!

I think I'll invest in even when the lamps with full pdalboard and all the rest, I keep it for its practical yet incredibly ct gnial guitar playing!

Many opinions have been posted on this pedal. I will not repeat what was said, but only a few remarks and additions that I think are important.

Side characteristics, this pedal is actually quite comprehensive. Although less than a Line 6 POD X3, but the bulk is the same.
Please note, the pedal is large, heavy and solid. Scheduled to be strolled around. It's tough! The display is clear even if the presentation starts from the date: that it is not that young pedals!

I especially want to draw your attention to the two expression pedals, because that's where it has its strong point.

The 12AX7 or ECC83 in English instead of Vox, double triode preamp classic is there to "warm" sound. Argument marketing or real plus for my part I am not totally convinced.
Another black spot: Can not use a wah and distortion simultaneously. Ditto for distortion and compressor. Some interesting effects are strong and together in the same group "Pedal". Unable to take to Hendrix Fuzz with a wah, a Univibe and octaves. It's a pity!

UTILIZATION

Operation is simple. Each parameter can be edited easily without menus, submenus, sub-submenus and more ... The effects and amps are clearly identified and easily accessible on the pedals. The storage is also very simple, and the assignment of the pedals.

One detail is slightly annoying: the volume knob out of the pedal is located on the rear edge of the pedals, a remote and mostly impractical. It must be set when it connects to an amplifier, at risk to over-charge the input of the amp, or otherwise reduce the volume too much input. He will also manage the volume of output to the headphones. In short, a bit of a chore to pay!

Apart from this detail, RAS

SOUND QUALITY

Well, aside from modeling amps, with the chance to have copied some of the models, I must admit that it is more models "inspired" than real emulations. Amps rather "clear" as the Fender or Vox honored with sounds rather nice, but still quite steep: it's digital!
To gain amps like Mesa or Marshall, say to be nice that this is not the strength of this pedal.
More generally it is a pedal driven sound "vintage", not modern. For large saturation, go your way.

Now for what makes the whole point of this pedal: the effects and two expression pedals. While the effects are not of exceptional quality, but there are many, varied and well made. Some are worse than others or seem redundant. But no matter.
Note: Both pedals are assignable to the vast majority of effects settings available! That is, one can, for example for the pitch shifter, change the pitch via a pedal, you then have a Digitech Whammy! Best of all, the pitch of the beginning and end of the pedal is changed from -2 to +2 octaves! Another example of the dual-phase: each pedal can be assigned to a speed of 2 phasers: dramatic effect guaranteed! For delays, I use the tap tempo pedal assigned to the delay time and assigned to a pedal feedback!
I am able to put together a machine foot and effects configurable with associations to the wildest possible results, modular live!

OVERALL OPINION

So here, this pedal is more oriented to sound vintage, it is expensive but seriously built. Amps and effects available are varied and complete. Faced with numerous competitors, he defends himself well. For against, facing the last Line 6 POD X3 Live, it does not take long to compare!

Now forget the part amplifiers, and add two assignable expression pedals for most of the parameters of each effect and you get a multi-effects EXTRA ORDINARY. A special adviser to the researchers of strange sounds and original. We are almost at Zvex! Unable to get results equivalent to the pedals sound normal: they have no expression pedals! In addition, each pedal itself is fully customizable, which allows you to control very precisely each effect.

Behind the classic pedal is hiding a real machine to test the effects of new and surprising results.

What can I say that has dj t say? Pdalier modlisation multi-effects. There is little prs everything you need: overdrive, fuzz, chorus, flanger, delay, reverb, wha, Univibe, tremolo, rotary, etc.. CRER per channel can be a clean and drive, we have many choices of formulations of amps and cabs.

Prampli lamp operates as a false light amp. Like the Fender Cyber, Vox who knows that in an amp is the amp that Global Warming lamp sound and not those of pramp, chose one of amule EL34 or 6L6 a diode with a , original, not bte and effective.

It can fly at noon (how useful?), Y insrer supplmentaires effects (why, there is not enough?) And the connection is complte. Some may blame the lack of SPDIF, personally, even in the studio, I never felt the lack.

The beginning Ds I replaced the lamp with an Electro Harmonix APRS doing various tests. It was a progrsrel and tangible.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is childish, you plug, you play.

Everything is easy ditable, the manual is clear, but TRS, unless you are beginners, are you one really need?

SOUND QUALITY

Overall it is a good product that does what one expects. N'esprez not have an original sound or the finesse of the amps and vintage effects shops. this machine is not made for that.

However, if you're the piano bar and need a set u ^ p compact and easy plug anywhere you have what you need. I did some studio o knowledge we do not ask me to be the star but to play games that would go well in the mix and production, and everyone has always t tr s satisfaction. Similarly, I happened to accompany singers and singers and I had everything I needed under the feet. I even did concerts with my band for a few years by using it.

Of course, once again, you will not have the finesse of a true Twin, or a true Marshall, but in the end what matters is your exact for the public and there is convincing this level l.

If I were to compare it's a great 4x4 for everything, city, highway, country, but it is not an Aston Martin or a limousine or a real good old Land Rover to go into the bush .. . This is a knife espce Swiss guitarist, and for the price you will not.

Personally, I did some sound banks adjust my Start and my Heritage 535 with some effects that I need it most. Once in a program I dclenche effects and change the channel like I a system that vintage. It is a fawn to archaque can be, but I find that a can be better in a logical formulation.

OVERALL OPINION

I've since its release.

I had the Pod Line 6 AX2 212 of a Line 6, Fender Cyber ​​Twin one. I tried other things in queqlues Zoom, Korg, Yamaha and Behringer same. If the Fender comes before in terms of roundness of her (but it is mainly thanks to HP), the Tonelab comes before all others by its ergonomics, the quality of its sound and its grain gnral.

Again, although I prfre Obviously a Twin or a Marshall or a Mesa lamp with my Fulltone Hartman and others, but for global use and a certain ease of transportation and I still use keep my Tonelab.

The ratio quality price is excellent

the only - is the relative fragility of switches that it can recommend and resolder ... but it is a great product
