I recently bought this before Christmas.
At Parklane, Citi Music. Original price was $900 but during the Christmas sale 40% of I got it at $500. Lucky me.
Very big and Very heavy but worth carrying around. The 12AX7 Vacuum tube inside creates and amazing warm tone with much needed bite for your burning Guitar Solos.
The interface on this Huge Multi-effects is pretty and simple, and pretty simple to use too. There are:
Pedals:
- U-Vibe
- BLK/ORG Phase
- Octave
- Ring Modulator
- Treble Boost
- Tube OD
- Super OD
- Boutique OD
- Fat Distortion
- Orange Distortion
- Fuzz
- Octafuzz
- Compressor
- Acoustic Simulator
- Vox Wah
- Auto Wah
Every effect also has an indiviual tone setting.
You also get choices of many famous Amps that have been famous in the past like Vintage Amps, or more Modern Amps.
Amps:
- UK Blues
- UK 68P
- UK 80's
- UK 90's
- UK Modern
- Recto
- US High Gain
- Boutique OD
- Boutique Clean
- Black 2x12
- Tweed 1x12
- Tweed 4x10
- AC15
- AC15TB
- AC30
- AC30TB
Along with Amps you also get Cabinets which is great for when it comes to recording. You dont need to carry an amp down to the studio and you can still record line-in and get a sweet sound.
Cabinet:
- Vox AC15
- Vox AC30
- Vox AD412
- UK H30 4x12
- UK T75 4x12
- US V30 4x12
- Tweed 1x8
- Tweed 1x12
- Tweed 4x10
- Black 2x10
- Black 2x12
For each Amp and cabinet setting you get the normal 'Gain' along with 'Vr Gain' which boost the output from the tube, and then after that you get channel volume and EQs.
Great Modulators that can be tweaked to your own liking and each and everyone has a 'Manual' setting than can be set to any of the 2 pedals so you can manually alter settings during a Live performance. I usualy like to use the Stereo Chorus make a brighter tone for my guitar.
Modulators:
- Text Tremolo
- Rotary
- Pitch Shifter
- Mod Delay
- Filtron
- Talk Modulator
- Classic Chorus
- Stereo Chorus
- Classic Flanger
- Bi-Chorus
- Duo-Phase
Ofcourse the most popular effects, The Delay effect.
Delays:
- Stereo Delay
- Cross Delay
- 2 Tap Delay
- Rhythm Delay
- Hold Delay
- Reverse Delay
- Echo Plus
- Multi Head Echo
- Analog Delay
- Mod Delay
- Sweep Delay
Another Effect that is always trusted upon to make solos sound more powerful, and is also great for recordings, Reverb.
Reverbs:
- Spring 1
- Spring 2
- Plate 1
- Plate 2
- Chamber 1
- Chamber 2
- Room 1
- Room 2
- Hall 1
- Hall 2
- Gated Reverb
When you first purchase your ToneLab SE you get 32 Presets already Calibrated into the effects. Altogether there are 24 Banks and 4 Programs on each bank. So this makes 96 memory slots. Btw each program also has an A and B channel which gives you more possibilities.
When you first glance at this Piece of equipment, you think, Wow how do i use it? But once you start messing around with it (unless you wanna read the 69 page manual) you start getting the hang of it, then you start to create some personal settings. Once you understand it, the sweet sounds come along, but you need to know how to use the effects properly.
In the end, you get amazing quality sound with high quality recording standards.
If you already own one but you dont agree with the sound, try changing your global output setting to 'Line' rather than the preset 'Amp' setting. But the abbreviation isnt helpful. Ln = Line and Ap = Amp. You only use the Amp setting if you want to take advantage of the Amp sound that your plugged into. Otherwise if you use the Line setting it takes advantage of your cabinet settings.
