Product that needs no introduction, but important points vis a vis the competition: all metal therefore made to last, two modes of operation amplifier or console, two modes of operation mode or pedal recall mode presets very long with two expression pedals, connectable to a computer taken with MIDI (it is necessary to buy a cable midi / usb), a silent tuner, and then tons of presets that circulate on the net.
UTILIZATION
As with all multi-effects has amp simulation, effects of HP and, as soon as one switches to preset (programmed settings or a program), everything becomes complicated and time (this is my personal opinion). There are hours to go over to his choice of settings. 24 banks of 4 sounds that can switch two selections amp and HPs ... here is the world. On stage it's almost unusable as it is necessary to juggle the ball of your foot to reach the desired sound. In practice, we selected a handful that we put in the same bank. Pedal mode, it works like a real pedal board, we select the effects you want with her foot, and it works pretty well. The French manual, available on the net in case it is lost ... is well designed, clear and concise. Programming selections are made with micro switches low quality .. I changed several. Otherwise it is possible to program the Tonelab on his computer, and therefore need to use these switches. The selection of nimble or live effects, is done with metal switches that require an occasional dusting / lubrication. That means we can open the beast without worries.
SOUND QUALITY
For digital and at the time or the Tonelab SE came out, the sound quality is good. Of course, what is important above all is the quality of the material that is output. On a good console you get a good sound (you can believe connected to the amp simulation) ... console on a poor quality .. unfortunately no miracle. To be perfectly objective should be able to compare it with NOVA for example, but this is not the same price either. At VOX, for me it's the best multi-effects they have on the market.
OVERALL OPINION
I used it from 2008 to 2011. Purchased 250 secondhand, sold just under 200. It remains a very good deal.
Only downside to the table qualities of this product, a little cheap switches or age badly. Built for the stage, he did a good job, HIS job. It allows among others not to take the amp on stage and travel light so that does not allow the NOVA example (no amp simulation).
In secondhand and a first set eyes to buy (almost) closed.
