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!
