USE

For those using KORG material, it is similar, even principe.pour others with the instructions just understand the principle and c is gagnbr />
SOUND QUALITY

I had the Korg axg1000 and principal default was the overdrive and a simulation can not get a bit "lightweight"
the ToneLab is making a correct answer my request. Depending on the volume on the guitar or not I can saturate the ampli.La simulated fender as Marshall is excellent.

The ToneLab has a proper dynamics and provides a very good presence in a group. I play softer and hear me better.
the sound effects are very good in terms of investment

NOTICE GLOBAL

Is perfect guitarist seeking invetissement in material with a very good quality for money (468 effect on line)
I could have chosen a tube amp (peavey valve king example) but I would have to add + or even 250 in effect.

The ToneLab is a very good choice for blues lovers, rock, hard rock. For mtalleux, I remain rserv.

Dj said lower

USE

Using ultra easy, we find his own sound we were looking for a long time, no need to read the manual to understand how to operate the machine, except perhaps to record its sounds.

SOUND QUALITY

So ct SON, 10/10. It was here, for me, the best multi-effects ever built! A sound that melts your amp, plus I play a Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue 40W full tube fenders and TV and stratocumulus, mainly american standard. It is a multi gnial effect because even on a transistor amp, you have the lamp We will Mtallica Beatles, through the Shadows, Oh yes, with the ultimate Vox Wah , but happiness! Can be modulated DIFFERENT amps, Marshall Stack, Fender tweed, etc. 10/10 because for me there is no better!

NOTICE GLOBAL

It's been 6 months since I use it and I'm not! Even if the price is quite lev we pay for There are some who prfreront of pedals spares, other multi-effects, everyone's gots. But ct heat, Vox Tonelab SE kills everything !!! I repeat that choice a hundred times if he had to. 9/10 for the price a little lev.

cf test

UTILIZATION

étand not too adept at 4 sounds / moreceaux I rather sought the appearance succession effect: very average

pass channel A / B depent phases of the moon!

SOUND QUALITY

BIG breath ....

OVERALL OPINION

classic pedal, the lamp not really more than that, the big problem is the breath ... impossible to use in the studio with the same gate, .....

Robust pedal 2 expression pedals plus button dimmer Halogen adjustable as finesse.

after all, offered willingly to a friend specializing in times of Metallica approach sounds kill em all the same.

I will not repeat the trick effects. There's minimal effects for almost all play (except perhaps the metal ...). such as chorus, delay, simulation of amp, pedals, reverbs. It is pedal format and super convenient in rehearsal, in the studio or live. We may regret the absence of usb.

UTILIZATION

I have not had too much need for manual use is quite simple, super intuitive knobs corresponding to the parameters (gain, treble, bass ...)
the editing and saving is very easy, even live. LCD display is legible.

SOUND QUALITY

Effects are of good quality but it does not hack finely.
Some simulations are more realistic and give more "want to play" than others. Used guitars are a Gibson LP and a Fender statocaster (squier).
Yet careful not compare with a real tube amp (sound level).

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for about 3 years and I'm separate buying a 11R which is a higher range and format rack. The tonelabSE no longer be available in nine ca occasion but can be a good deal. I have not had the opportunity to try the POD HDXXX which is probably the same lineage. I do not Regrete my choice because it is a small box containing good enough to play easily and without problem ... the rest being in our 10 fingers. But ... guitarist is often the pursuit of "his" and like to change equipment.

We find that all sounds Vintages are also integrated into the brand amps like Vox ADV 15/30/50/100 W. Amp Simulator, Distortion, Clean, Overdrives, Wha Wha, and also Modern Metal, U.S., UK etc ...
Firms to choose from so everything is in the program. The sounds are warm thanks to the technology of the lamp circuit amplifier Vox Valve Reactor 12 AX 7. The advantage of this pedal is not a rack that can edit and modify sounds at will, once the "beast" tamed, you got to the net and you can download "" tons "of presets.
The connection is complete entries, Midi, Mono and stereo outputs, headphone, power. The only obsolescence comes of age which deprives him of the USB.

UTILIZATION

There are already 100 User Presets.
Two assignable foot pedals.
The manual is clear and French.
The edition becomes relatively easy.

SOUND QUALITY

So, I will not repeat the previous opinion, but saw the possibilities and quality present, we can quickly obtain the desired sound. It complements very well the owner of a transistor amp, making the lamp effect of small preamp stage, as the possessor of a tube amp.
All brands of guitars, Epiphone, Gibson, Fender, BC Ritch, etc..
He catches heat and good fishing micro markets series!
I love his versatility, all effects have their charm, it sounds punchy in the ranges Vox AC or Metal, Rock, Cleans, always in short run, a box made to spend the ages Lol.

OVERALL OPINION

About 5 years and no problems, a tough case. Yes I have the Boss GT, a Pedal Board, Zoom, Digitech, Korg 3000 etc. ..
I have nothing against him except the USB though so far can be adapted by the South, but it was the top of the range at its output, the price was justified by its sounds and its apparent solidity is proven today, its two extra pedals in addition, what a great pedal!

I do not feel the need to replace it with new that does not bring much originality apart from the USB, if really required, I would.
Moreover, to date, there are so many good Softs both studio and live,
only spoiled for choice or the choice of embarrassment there (thank you Michael).
A € 150 in good time, go for it!

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.

No need to present the beast! everything is top blues to heavy metal very fat! AC works wonders on a transistor amp anyway.

UTILIZATION

very simple configuration. Quick. on the other hand, mine runs rough!
of time, the buttons do not work, then make sure it works then it is the turn of expression pedals! short, it becomes difficult!

SOUND QUALITY

It rocks! I used it with my girl and my Washburn eclipse II and the result is superb in the two cases. it sounds a bit with some simulation of digital amp but really nothing nasty.

OVERALL OPINION

Ben really good when it works! ca is a good alternative if you have a transistor amp and not much means to buy pedals. You will not be disappointed! For my part, I continue to use it while waiting to take me a tube amp with pedals.

Hello, the caractteristiques are available everywhere on the net ...
However, it lacks a USB shame!

UTILIZATION

The general config is very intuitive, rather simle anyway.
The manual is in French and very clear.
Editing sounds is easy.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are very efficient, it generates very little noise.
The sounds are rather warmer compared with the competition.
Plugged into the loop of an amp or two if you like the stereo using only the effects this is good but personally I always use it plugged directly into the console with the amp simulations that go well.
For the home studio is really very practical and realistic.
Beware any such device will never replace a real tube amp should be clear.
Dessustoutes I plug my guitars and personality of each instrument is concervé except perhaps for very large saturations.
My Strat guitars sontr, Vigier, Gipson, Suhr, MusicMan and Epiphone.
I do not hate anything about this unit.

OVERALL OPINION

I use mostly home studio in otherwise live in bars where the boss makes big eyes every time he sees a guitar amp and particularly when there is not much room ...
I tried other machines but I frankly prefer the VOX as it offered the hottest sounds.
What I like least about this VOX is that it does not really sound like my RIVERA lol, I love everything else.
I bought it used so really cheap lowest price that some U.S. pedals that do one thing (one effect anything) so for me the value for money was fantastic.
I do it again this choice again in a single second even without the USB!

multi purpose amp simulators .... etc.
see on the net

with a lamp in it!

UTILIZATION

me who is struggling with this style of device, I found it rather easy to use!
say it is!
both pedals are very useful, I even managed to plug into the computer with MIDI!
otherwise the editing software is damn good ...

... short across impecc ...

SOUND QUALITY

then like any multi effects there is good and less good, I managed to download sounds of hell ... all played through headphones ... Hell!

on the other hand I never found it fun by plugging it into an amp!

bad result (for me) on my ex vox little night train ... I wish I tried it on a PE60 seems that it is ... the coup I sold it.

OVERALL OPINION

I had it for 6 months and it is a good device.
the fact that he is not old USB connection usb / midi cable with dedicated is more tedious ... no looper on it ... but sound effects and convincing ... the headphone!

why not redo this choice given the price in time ... but is still figuring out how to plug into an amp and I like it!!

Floorboard multi-FX
simulation of amps / speakers
simulation of distortion pedals, wah, chorus, reverb, delays and other ...
a 12AX7 "warming" the sound
connectivity options, possible output in stereo headphone output. No USB.
the pedal is quite long and weighs his weight but very sturdy (all metal).

UTILIZATION

It takes a little getting used initially to juggle all the adjustment options offered, but I guess it's the same battle on many multi-effects.
Nevertheless there are quite easily the type of sound you want and the effects that one wants to use. The range is very wide.
You can edit the sounds in depth, assign a task to a switch or control of a specific effect or amp simulation in two expression pedals.
Good reliability / correct: in 7 years of use I had 2 times the case of screw handlamps walking in the housing and the switch of presets that were beginning to tire (problem solved by adding a shim to improve contact) nothing dramatic ...
It's practical, sturdy and it works well. The format is a little "aircraft carrier" but we have everything on hand.

SOUND QUALITY

The different sounds clear / distortion have all offered a different color and everyone should find something.
after trying a few tube amps we must admit that this pedal, despite its "lamp" is fairly soft knee. I never managed to get as much momentum as the pedals of a tube amp. Do not expect miracles on that side.
Also I noticed that the pedals still ate a lot of his / dynamics. I live by plugging in my power amp (Peavey 50/50) I had a clear sound a bit flashy, even if the amp is very "simple" very right. With the pedal all between the two becomes "sanitized".
Malgés time spent on the beast I've always had great difficulty finding quality crunch tones. It may be just me but it remains an enigma ...
We can therefore have a clear (too) clean, nice distortion with a wide range and a host of effects is easily adjustable.

OVERALL OPINION

I used this machine for 7 years and it made me very good service.
To be honest I have not tried many multi-effects before you buy. I bought it on the advice of an informed person.
I do not regret this choice because it is very convenient and somehow it helped me determine my "sound", to know what effect I used most often etc.. It allowed me to make the transition to a pedalboard that has only what I need.
My opinion is that this pedal can make a transition period between learning effects, settings and one where it feels to move to more upscale products, corresponding to its sound. I see it as a kind of laboratory where each can determine / shape its overall musical identity.
Then with time and more meetings with the gear couillu we want to move on ...

Been playing guitar most of my life (i'm 41 now). Tastes range form Rock, blues, Christian worhsip.

Purchased from Sound Control in Birmingham around the same time I was upgrading all my gear - it was used with my Mesa Boogie F50 and Gibson Les Paul or Fender Stratocaster. I think it cost £399 - they had only just come out at the time - you can get them much cheaper now.

I was attracted by having all effects in one unit, it looked great with two expression pedals and the valve showing and the flexibility and number of effects was just out of this world.

I've sold it on ebay now. I'm a bit of a techno-junkie (and computer programmer), but never really had the time to work out how programme it properly - it was just a little too complex for what i wanted for a live gig - even though I had pre-programmed the channels beforehand (although for recording when I had more time to dial in the efects and play with it a bit more it was great). I never seemed to be able to get the best sounds on the unit and had problems in getting 'equal' volumes / levels when switching between pre-sets, especially when changing between clean and crunched sounds. When it was used in bi-pass mode it seemed to loose gain / brightness (even with the gain switch at the back set on max) and again, problems getting even levels between bi-pass and effects.

Fantastic - at a gig I accidentally dropped my Gibson on it - took a chunk out of the headstock of the guitar, only made a minor dink on the case - rock solid construction.

If you have the time, patience and ability, then this unit is well worth having - I take full responsibility for not generating the time to get the best out of the unit, but hey, i just decided I wanted something simpler.

Started playing piano and trumpet at age 5, and still playing everything i can get my hands on!! I perform with guitar and bass for the most part these days.

Bought at Guitar Center and paid $420.00 USD

The concept intrigued me...that is where it ends

Even with their set programs this thing has fluctuations in tone and volume. I swapped cords,guitars,tried it thru my Mesa Maverick, Ampeg V-4 (yes i bought it new...i'm that old!!) and through a Marshall JCM 800...same result. Went back to Guitar center and their display does the same thing. I returned it on the spot and I will continue to use the assortment of stomp boxes and Wah pedals I own.

I didn't keep it long enough to have an opinion on that!

As far as the effects....No one company makes the best of each type of effect. Find ones that sound good with the rig you play on. As far as the amp modeling pedal.....I only play tube amps and the concept of a modeling pedal is quirky at best. If you want a certain sound save up and buy the thing!! Why did I buy it??? Too much time on my hands and too much cash in my pocket...dangerous combination. Good thing Guitar Center has an excelent return policy!!

I've been looking to simplify my set-up and add a few new sounds, the Vox product looked interesting and seemed to be well tought-out and built. I purchased mine at Guitar Center for $599.00

Several things I like about the unit. First, it's easy to edit sounds, the pre-amps/cabinets and effect chain is layed out so that it is easy to access and edit, and the unit shows you where the parameters were set before you started editing them. Second each program allows you to save A and B amp selections, thus creating two different sounds with the same array of effects for each program. Also, being able to assign effect parameters to the expression pedals is a nice feature. Overall the sound quality is good, you can create some warm/natural sounds without sounding over processed.

I've spent alot of time trying to get a great sound out of my guitars and amps, and I often play directly to the amp, without coloring the sound. You can't by-pass this unit. Well, you can by-pass the effects, but I can't find a way to by-pass the pre-amp and cabinet simulators. You should be able to do this without buying an A/B switch. The other complaint I have is the tonal characteristics. The tone controls for the pre-amps seem weak to me, the cabinet selection is where I needed to go to develop the tone, also, the unit sounds a little dry, there's not much headroom, not like you'd have in a tube amp. (I know this has a tube, but it's basically a solid state processor). So depending on what you're looking for, it may or may not fit the bill.




The construction of the unit is excellent. It's easy to use and built to last.

The bottom line is, I like the unit, and you get alot of usable features for the price. I'm going to try work with it and decide weather or not to keep it.

Hi everyone. I got this unit from guitar center, at a reasonable price. Let me say that i was not really sure about its performance because there was no review written about it, sine it is a brand new item. How ever, for the information that you get from the manufacturer's website, and some other places on the net, I decided to go ahead and take the chance. It was a great decision. first of all, like the GT-6, which is a great unit too, it switches from program to program in real time, like if you were using single pedals. The effects are very clear, and the variety of modulations, amps, cabinets, etc is just all you need and even more. About how easy it is to use it, all I can say is that it is perfect for someone whoi already has experience in dealing with pedal boards. If you are an amateur on this, then this unit might be kind of complicated for you. However, keep in mind that This ToneLab SE was designed for guitarists who know what they are doing. And on top of all that, I'll conclude saying that it is the only pedal board ever made that works with pure tube warmth. Match it with a hot rod fender amp, and you'll have the greatest sound of all. It is heavy, because it is huge, and its all steel. I think it will last forever. Awesome unit. If you can afford one, consider buying it. Only if you are a serious player though. You'll love all the features and capabilities it has.

Tube driven.
awesome and clear effects.
tube driven.
no gap when switching between programs.
tube driven.
built like three tanks.
did i mention it is tube driven?!?!?!



only one,
a big one.
the price.


aaaalllll steeelllll.
sweet huh?

grab one if you can!
they are currently very few on the market.

Hello.
The ToneLab recovers roughly the characteristics of the ToneLab, with some effects and more.
Complete information about www.voxamps.co.uk.
s effects were found spread over different sections: pedal, amp, Presence and Noise Reductor, cabinet, modulation, delay and reverb.
The technology used is digital, with a lamp to heat through (although I'm not sure she plays a big part ...).
Software for editing sounds on PC via MIDI can be downloaded from the site of VOX.
It has 4 switch on which it affects what you want. Switch 2 to change banks, switch to the tuner and the effects loop, a control switch (to enable / disable an effect or tap tempo), and two expression pedals
Connectivity level, mono input, stereo output, Midi in / out, effect send / return.
One may regret the absence of a digital output.

UTILIZATION

Setup is super simple.
Can be assigned two distinct sounds of each pedal, just like an amplifier, a channel A and channel B. (For cons, the last edited channel that is assigned by default on the switch, which can be a bit confusing at first) What makes that total, 8 sounds on each bank accessible by foot.
To make his Son, we choose a patch (channel A or B), we seek a sound Triffouille buttons, and recorded by tapping twice on Write. If you want to copy a patch to another, is pressed once, we put on the target patch, and write on tamping. We can assign names to each patch.
We can assign an effect of each section on a patch.
The assignment of the expression pedals is simple, you press the button assignment, and choose the section on which it will be active. Same for the Control.
For example, if I want a pedal controls the height of the pitch, I choose a pitch in the modulation section, I slap on to affect EXP, EXP1 I choose and I chose Pitch Modulation. If this is the speed of a tremolo, it will speed modulation .. etc ... You can define 'thresholds' also, for example, if you want the pitch is not an octave below.
It can also trigger an effect by the control pedal, tap tempo or do. For example, if I want a delay is triggered, I choose a delay in the delay section, and on assignment, I put Delay On / Off
I have not found it as easy as corny.
I ordered my ToneLab SE in Germany, so I had a manual Allemand.j 'I sent an email to VOX asked me 48 euros for the record in French ... it hurts. But sincerely, without notice, in 2 hours, you do what you want the ToneLab. It's really super easy to use.
There are anyway Starter Guides on the website of VOX.
According to one amp or playing on table mix, change a setting in the menu GLOBAL: AP Amp and Line for Ln (table)

SOUND QUALITY

This is where it's the slap.
I have a VOX AC30, and I confess I am not out of place by the ToneLab, both simulations are realistic. Insincere it a hit. It has even more potential than real, because on each amp, there are two gain stages (gain VR and gain), so that you can have a very virile saturated with a simulation of AC30. The present section brings more shine to the additional
I play in a register rather pop / rock, and I'm satisfied. For metalheads, I'm not sure it is fairly saturated, whatever combination of pedals on the amps, it should be possible to reach a result not bad. It is clear that this is not an H & K WARP.
In any case, for distos rock not too fat and crunch biting, I have not found better. I have a Line6 DM4 in, it has nothing to do.
I play a Les Paul with P90, is connected to a mixing desk Yamaha MG12 / 4, or on a VOX AC30
The sounds I prefer: in effect, I find that there is no throwing, except maybe the filter and the talk in the mod section modulation ... I do not see what I can do, in fact ...
The Wha wha is really excellent, the autowha too. distos amp combined with the color really nice lead sound, although we must not abuse, failing to have the breath.
The amp models are really great. Each amp has a completely different color, and then what joy to be able to change the speaker on the fly. The tweed cartonnent, the VOX as well. Otherwise, it sounds great, but not knowing the real amps, I can not go too far on modeling
Modulations cartonnent, tremolo, rotary speaker on the phaser, the mod delay (to combine with another delay for a nice double delay).
I'm not a fan of chorus, but even if I do not use it, it looks to turn properly.
The delays are really great (the reverse delay is stunning .... ....)
The Noise Reductor is effective, but tends to eat a lot of sustain I think.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the ToneLab SE for a little over a week.
I was not connected mutlieffet (if you can call it a multi-effect), I like the roots, with the pedals around.
What I like most is not having to juggle between the pedals to change the sound, it's super convenient to switch from one amp to another, with or without the effect ... while pressing a single switch.
The sound is really great credibility (I do not have Mickey Mouse ears either), with a dynamic that I have found on any multi-effect that I tested (including the infamous BOSS GT6 ...).
As I said above, I'm not sure that the lamp does play a role, because when you turn on the multi, it turns on right away (not like on a real amp). There's a small LED behind that is there to give the color of the lamp heater. In my opinion, it is purely marketing.
Still regret (except the lack of digital output), I find that the deflection of expression pedals is quite limited compared to a real Wha Wha ... it's still super playable.
I tried a few models before you buy it, but it has no real competitor (maybe soon a line6?).
The value for money is nickel, since the effects are of quality. I paid a little more expensive than in Paris, at around 600 euros, but at least I .. gnarf!
I chilled this choice without hesitation. It's a safe bet when it does demand too distos bourrines .. Finally, it is my opinion.
Moir made some remarks on the many points that I forgot to mention, I will complete the notice accordingly.
