Very interesting, thanks for that! Of course that is for the original Tonelab, so I don't really know for sure if it applies to the Tonelab SE, though probably since the SE and desktop came out at the same time it probably does. Vox told me, for example, that the TLLE does not have balanced outs, unlike the TLSE which supposedly does.
Vox Tonelab Se Review
- Setup เสียง effect กีต้าร์ไว้คร่าวๆนะครับ.
- In my seemingly never-ending search for the holy grail of guitar tones, I recently picked up a Vox Tonelab SE, and I must say I am impressed. I've been a Line6 POD guy for a long time, and while I've never really been satisfied with the direct sound of the POD into Sonar, the change to the Vox was.
Studio Amp Modeling & Effects Are Now Stage Ready!
Announcing the VOX Valvetronix ToneLabSE - a large-format multi-effect modeling pedal board processor with the awesome sonic power and warm and fat distortion of pure tube sound, a wide range of built-in effects, and two expression pedals for complete performance power. VOX Valve Reactor Circuit Delivers True Tube Amp Sound ToneLabSE features the acclaimed VOX Valve Reactor found on Valvetronix series amps and the ToneLab amp/effects modeler. The VOX Valve Reactor circuit uses a 12AX7 triode vacuum tube together with an actual low-wattage tube power amp circuit, a virtual output transformer, and a dummy speaker circuit that simulates the impedance changes of a real speaker. It also reconfigures itself so that its characteristics are the same as the amps it's modeling (class A, class AB, negative feedback circuit, etc.) This means that all of the nuances of the original amp model including sound, feel, distortion and presence are reproduced. Sophisticated Modeling Technology ToneLabSE provides sixteen accurate and versatile amp models that use the sophisticated modeling technology proven throughout the Valvetronix series. Starting with VOX's own AC30, the models cover a range from classic amps to built-to-order handmade amps, from vintage to modern, from clean to hi-gain. The ToneLab SE also has eleven cabinet models that faithfully replicate the cabinet shape and the number and type of speakers. ToneLab SE operation is easy - you simply turn a knob to combine different amp and cabinet models. A Range Of High-Quality Effects The Vox ToneLab SE's effects are categorized into modulation, delay, and reverb, with eleven types provided for each category. The effects range from stomp box to studio-quality effects, and include even a rare analog chorus, rotary speaker, and vintage delay/echo. Some the ToneLab SE's effects let you change the output settings (monaural, stereo, or stereo output of wet/dry signals) or the connection order of the modulation, delay, and reverb effects for even more flexibility. There are also sixteen pedal effects, including wah, overdrive, distortion, fuzz and acoustic simulator. ToneLab SE's easy knob-based editing means that you can easily tweak this rich array of effect types and parameters to your personal taste. 96 Program Memories The Vox ToneLab SE's amp, cabinet, and effect settings can be saved into 96 programs locations. For each program, you can store two channels (A and B) of amp and cabinet settings. There are also 32 preset programs that contain classic settings for each amp model. Extensive Expressive Potential ToneLabSE provides two expression pedals that you can use to control wah, volume and many other effect parameters. You can assign the ToneLab SE's pedals to control the delay time, modulation speed or depth, or many other parameters, giving you an enormous range of creative possibilities. The Quick Assign function makes it easy to assign a parameter at a single touch. Smooth Operation You can assign the ToneLab SE's control switches to control parameters such as tap tempo, effect on/off, or rotary speed switch. Vox's ToneLab SE really shines on stage, literally; the LCD screen that displays parameter names and detailed information is backlit for increased visibility. A valve icon shows the number and model of the power tubes used in the original amp that's being modeled. Convenient send/return jacks are provided on the ToneLab SE, allowing you to connect external insertion effects such as distortion or overdrive. You can also switch the insertion effect on/off at a touch of a foot switch. And ToneLabSE's metal chassis exudes an aura of solidity and reliability. Editing Software Lets You Save And Edit Sounds Dedicated editing software for Vox ToneLabSE can be downloaded from www.voxamps.co.uk. This software displays all parameters, making editing the ToneLab SE even easier, and also lets you stockpile an unlimited number of sound programs. Independent built-in Auto Chromatic Tuner The Vox ToneLab SE's built in Auto Chromatic Tuner has its own independent LED display for excellent visibility. The tuner also provides a mute function for silent tuning on stage. Vox Valvetronix Modeling For DAW Vox also offers the [url=http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ToneLab]ToneLab[/url], a desktop version with the same Effects and Modeling features as the ToneLAb SE. You can record your live sound settings in your project studio with the ToneLab, and leave the ToneLab SE packed with your live sound gear. Vox ToneLab SE Features and Specs:

The Vox ToneLab SE is an amp and effect pedalboard processor that delivers VOX modeling technology, as found in the Valvetronix series amps and ToneLab amp/effect modeler, expanded modeling options and assignable, dual expression pedals for total control.
ToneLab SE employs VOX’s Valve Reactor™ circuit, a proprietary design that uses a 12AX7 dual triode as a power amp tube, to recreate the sound and feel of a variety of vacuum tube guitar amps. It offers faithful models of 16 amps ranging from vintage classics to modern “boutique” standards, plus 11 cabinet models that reproduce the acoustic character of various cabinet shapes and speaker types, for unmatched modeling realism. Also included are 50 stomp boxes and effects (up to 7 can be used simultaneously) that model vintage and popular effects such as compression, overdrive, chorus, tremolo, rotary speaker, acoustic simulation, tape echo and auto wah (noise reduction is also included). Any combination of amp, cabinet and effect settings can be saved as one of 96 programs. Two channels (A and B) of amp/cabinet settings can be saved in each program, allowing the player to switch smoothly between backing and lead parts. 32 preset programs of various styles are also provided.
Convenient send/return jacks allow players to connect their favorite pedal directly to the ToneLab SE. An Amp/Line selector allows the user to connect to guitar amps, power amps, mixers or even to record direct. Also included is a headphone out for private practicing, MIDI IN/OUT and a built-in Korg digital tuner.
ToneLab SE features heavy-duty metal construction and control knobs for simplified operation. Operation is easy and intuitive — program names, parameter values and original values are displayed on an LCD screen, which is backlit for enhanced visibility. Valve icons show the number and type of power tubes used in the original amp being modeled.
Dedicated editor software for ToneLab SE is available as a free download from http://www.valvetronix.com. It enables the user to edit on the computer, as well as manage an unlimited number of programs. It also allows the user to share and control programs for ToneLab.
