From Our Research Team:

Take A Collection of Guitar Amps & Effects With You!

The new ToneLab LE includes a few improvements on its popular predecessor, the ToneLab SE. The first is a new four-mode line out voiced specially for various applications, from direct recording to live performance through a PA system. The "Line 2" amp/line setting features an all-new three band Master EQ section modeled after one of the most acclaimed live mixers ever manufactured. This allows you to EQ the sound of your ToneLab LE to suit any room or sound system. For greater flexibility in recording applications, we've added an S/P DIF output. Finally, the new ToneLab LE wouldn't be complete without some new effects! A new "metal distortion" sound will satisfy your need for extreme gain. Two new delays, a slap delay and a two-tap delay with tap tempo, add to the ambient effect offerings in the LE. Finally, a new multi-tap chorus gives you independent chorus taps for each of the left, center and right outputs, producing stunning depth and spaciousness.

VOX Valve Reactor delivers true tube sound
The power amp section on the ToneLab LE features our patented VOX Valve Reactor circuitry. This unique technology enables these units to provide the sound, feel and dynamic range that, until now, were only possible with amultitude of all-tube amplifiers. The Valve Reactor circuit uses a 12AX7 dual triode vacuum tube, a virtual output transformer and a dummy speaker circuit that simulates the reactive load of a real speaker. It 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
Starting with VOX's own AC30, the 16 amp sounds range from rare vintage amps to high-end modern amps. From clean sounds to extreme high-gain distortion, these models cover a wide range of tonal possibilities. Cabinet modeling reproduces the acoustical characteristics of ten different cabinet shapes and speaker types.

A range of high-quality effects
The effects are categorized into modulation, delay, and reverb, with eleven types provided for each category. Effects range from stomp box to studio-quality effects and include a rare analog chorus, rotary speaker, and vintage delay/echo. Some 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 16 pedal effects, including wah, overdrive, distortion, fuzz and acoustic simulator. Easy knob-based editing means that you can easily tweak this rich array of effect types and parameters to your personal taste right on the unit without having to scroll through time consuming menus of parameters.

120 Program memories
The amp, cabinet, and effect settings can be saved into120 program locations. For each program, you can store two channels (A and B) of amp and cabinet settings.There are also 40 preset programs that contain classic settings for each amp model.

More expressive potential
ToneLab LE provides an expression pedal that you can use to control wah, volume and many other effect parameters.You can assign the pedal to control the delay time, modulation speed or depth, or many other parameters, giving you an enormous range of creative possibilities. The QuickAssign function makes it easy to assign a parameter at a single touch.

Superb operability, extreme flexibility
You can assign the control switches to control parameters such as tap tempo, effect on/off, or rotary speed. The LCD screen that displays parameter names and detailed information is back lit for increased visibility. A valve icon shows the number and model of the power tubes used in the original amp that's being modeled. Convenients end/return jacks are provided, which allow you to connect external insertion effects such as distortion or over-drive. You can also switch the insert effect on/off at a touch of a foot switch.

Editing software lets you save and edit sounds
Dedicated editing software for ToneLab LE can be downloaded from www.voxamps.co.uk. This software displays all parameters, making editing even easier, and also letsyou stockpile an unlimited number of your own sound programs and share them with your friends.

Built-in tuner
The Auto Chromatic Tuner has its own independent LED display for excellent visibility. The tuner also provides a mute function for silent tuning on stage.

All the right ins and outs
Perfect for home recording and live performance, ToneLab LE includes everything you need for killer guitar sound. Featuring an S/P DIF optical digital output and MIDI IN and OUT connectors, ToneLab LE offers you plenty of potential and numerous options to expand your system. You can use the effect insert jacks to connect an external effect processor or stompbox, and the headphone out is just what you need for late-night practicing.

ToneLab LE...pure tone

Unlike most of your reviewers, I Have been playing this unit now for several months, on stage and off, and I still haven't come to a dead end.

If your like me, you've had every peice of equipment wheather you could afford it or not, and still couldn't find that sound or pitch or swoop...look no further.Reguardless if you think you have the best thing since sliced bread at your feet, or your just playing through an amp, The ToneLab SE has what you've been looking for! close [-]

Way Better Sound Then Line 6 and the rest...

I must say, Vox has done it! I sold my Mesa Triaxis and 2:90, 2/12, for a Vox AD100VT and I'm loving this thing. My Mesa was great but it was a monster and I had to keep tweaking the dang thing to get... read more [+] the sound I wanted. I just purchased this today so I haven't even programmed my own sounds. I'm just completely blown away with just the presets that I can't wait to dig into this more. and.... I've read that the presets aren't all that great so you mean this baby gets better? Been playing for 24 yrs... Eric Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, Classic Rock, Jazz, Country, it all sounds incredible. I'm not into crushing heavy metal but I noticed some heavy sounds coming out of here for those of you that are curious. BUY IT YOU WONT REGRET IT! close [-]

Wow. Nice Job Vox

I am really impressed with this unit. I have a fender twin reverb and about $1500 worth of stompboxes. I'm kinda a tone nut. I bought this to use at church so I wouldn't have to drag my amp around.... read more [+] After about half an hour of tweeking I nailed the sound of my twin at about 98%. I A-B tested it to recordings I did with the twin for a few songs. Sounded almost identical and without all the noise from the twin. I even was very happy with the spring reverb I got and Fender reverb is hard to match. I wasn't immediately impressed with the distortion effects but the amp modeling and other effects are superb. The presets are really kinda useless so don't judge the unit by what they give you from the factory. You really have to get in and know what you are doing to match the sound from the original amps. I seriously am considering selling my twin and my delay and chorus pedals. I will keep my English Muffin and Mesa tube distortion pedals as well as my 808 tube screamer. This blows away the new pod as well as the digitech unit I tried. Nice Job Vox. close [-]

Great piece!

I've been playing guitar for 40 years or so, an old dude true, and have had a lot of pedals/multi-effects pedals in that time and this one is by far the best sounding of them all. Sounds good with hum... read more [+]bucker pickups or single coil pickups. Really nice amp sims. Just be sure to choose the correct setting for running it through an amp or line. Some reviewers are missing this fact and reporting bad sound. Read the book before you start and it tells you this. Some people don't/can't read, I guess. Digitech, Yamaha and the others make some nice units but not like this one. I really believe I have found the last one I will ever need. If or when it quits working I will be bummed, BIG TIME! I'll have to find another one somewhere. close [-]

Great Item ...and MUCH cheaper that buying all those pedals

Music Background: Hobbyist, pick with friends, play some in church
I would have given the VOX Tonelab LE a 5 star rating but I believe any piece of gear that requires you to read a manual is defective. When I arrived home today my 14 year old had the Tonelab hooked u... read more [+]p and was messing with it. Within 20 minutes I had the EXACT sound for the Pulse cut of Pink Floyd “shine on you crazy diamond” dialed in and saved. I tried this on my Crate GX-212 and on my little VOX Pathfinder 15R. The amp models sound real good as do the cab’s. This unit is just a lot of bang for the buck. The only other multi-FX unit I had tried was the Vamp-2. I didn’t like the Vamp because you have very little input on the FX you select. With the Tonelab LE everything is as tunable as pedals or amps. One of my big hang ups is any effect that changes my volume. The Tonelab has some very high gain settings that are LOUD, but you can hit a menu button and set it where you want it. For what I do most of the presets will have to be tweaked but that’s a simple task. This is my first big multi-FX unit and I’ll be 45 years old tomorrow and I fined the unit easy to operate. When I finish looking over the manual I’m sure I’ll like it even more. close [-]
