Vox Tonelab ST

Value For Money : Excellent
A metal case, compact, weighing reassuring that does not slip on the floor, all is serious. The lamp is visible behind its schedule heats up the look. I am somewhat less convinced by the plastic jacks and power switch are the same as my DA5 on which I had to change these elements by the stronger ...
The power supply is light, techno cutting, it does not heat up and seems to fulfill its role without a nuisance.

UTILIZATION

very adequate and well-written.

Controls accessible directly respond, but I'm not a fan of keystrokes to get to some features (presence, noise etc., min max of the pedal, edit 2 and 3, 10 presets progress ...)

The simple two-digit display is visible, a preset name is also very good;)

Vox, the only software available for PC only allows banks to manage that sounds. That annoyed me a bit, so I embarked on the creation of a publisher who meets preset (in my opinion) very well and this role than others: http://baloran.cekool.com/stedit-download


SOUND QUALITY

I like. Let me explain. Only home-studio owners, before the Tonelab, I was only 4 and Guitar Rig 2 amplitude. My guitar (PRS SE Custom Fender Tele Baja, Bass Yamaha RBX270) are connected directly to an Audio Kontrol 1 and Mackie MR5 monitors, or a little VOX DA5 to play without starting up the plant ... I was moderately convinced by the emulation: a lot of work to get to sound pleasant (I do not have to be talented ...) It seems very intuitive, often noisy or musical bit, CPU intensive ... etc.
With TonelabST, I find very pleasing sound without the fuss, I record them on with only a sequencer plugin compressor and a reverb and I'm just really;) Although there are as many digital processing in this contraption in a audio plugin, I find it really sounds more natural, warm. Well, the effects are not all of great finesse, the setting of "noise" a bit tricky (like dust under the carpet ...), breath a little present in certain combinations.
USB 1 works correctly, as the ASIO driver: it is simply limited to 44100 Hz I still pass through the analog input of my Audio Kontrol.

OVERALL OPINION

As mentioned above, having no experience on equivalent products, I really like my TonelabST. The Vox website (forum and toneroom) is quite nice and active. I remake this choice with the only hesitation may be the choice of the EX which replaces ST in 2011). I think the TonelabST has excellent value for money.

Pleasantly surprised
