  • Multiple effects add a custom touch
  • Unlimited expressive pedal power
  • Excellent audio integration with your computer

True 12AX7 tube circuitry for premium tone
The Valvetronix series was developed with painstaking attention to detail. The valve circuitry features a real 12AX7 vacuum tube — along with other components — to cleanly mimic the interaction that occurs in a tube amplifier in a way no digital circuit can. This distinguishes the ToneLab ST from other manufacturer's modeling units. This fundamental difference is the basis for the awesome sonic power available in the ToneLab ST that no other multi-effect unit can obtain.

Sophisticated top-to-bottom modeling technology
Through the years, a handful of guitar amps have provided the inspiration and created the driving force behind the greatest guitar performances in history. ToneLab ST is equipped with thirty-three spot-on amp simulations, including vintage amps, coveted boutique amps, the latest high-gain amps, and entirely new amp models designed by VOX. But the ToneLab ST goes even further, adding eleven classic cabinet configurations that can be mixed and matched with any amp model. That's 363 amp and cabinet combinations available instantly!

Multiple effects add a custom touch
A single ToneLab ST program contains amp, cabinet, pedal and modulation effect settings - even noise reduction options - providing enormous freedom and versatility for creating your own sounds. There are fifty preset programs for immediate use, covering a broad range of styles and playing styles. The preset programs include twenty song programs, able to instantly reproduce the familiar sounds of those great guitar songs that everyone will recognize. This way, you can enjoy the versatile sounds of the ToneLab SE right away - before you even consider creating your own programs. But when you're ready, the ToneLab ST can hold fifty of your custom edited programs. Together with the preset programs, this gives you a total of one hundred programs, available on demand.

Unlimited expressive pedal power
The ToneLab ST provides an expression pedal that lets you control various tone shaping effects and parameters as you play. In addition to volume and wah, you can use the pedal to control realtime effect parameters - amplifier gain, tremolo speed, flanger depth, etc - providing a dramatic leap in expressive potential. The "Quick Assign" function lets you assign any effect parameter on the fly. By specifying the range of control, you can quickly create highly original performance settings.

Excellent audio integration with your computer
ToneLab ST is a complete ASIO-compatible USB audio interface. With a single USB connection, the ToneLab ST will conveniently interface with your computer DAW or sequencing software. ToneLab ST delivers the signal to your computer digitally, with no degradation in sound, for flawless recordings. Librarian software (Windows/Mac) for managing ToneLab ST programs will be available as a free download , and allows the easy exchange of data between users.

Versatile support functions
An auto-chromatic tuner featuring great visibility is built right in. Mute and bypass functions allow you to tune unnoticed while on stage. The ToneLab ST's powerful Amp/Line switch lets you instantly apply the appropriate compensation for a guitar amp, power amp or direct recording connection, so you can take full advantage of its full sonic potential in any situation. There's also an AUX IN jack so you can play along with the sound of your favorite band in nearly any format. Compact in size, the on-the-go ToneLab ST is big on features and huge on tone!

All Around Awesomness!

by Daniel from Hyndman, PA
August 28, 2011
Music Background: Metal/Hard Rock for over 16 years
Vox has come up with one, very neat gadget! For the past 5 years I've been busy with plastic Zoom and Digitech pedals and after buying this TANK I now know I should have started here to begin with. Re... read more [+]gardless of what some people have said about this pedal, it delivers great tone for me all the time with a 10 out of 10 rating! Its built tough, all metal, can always take a beating anywhere I go. The warm tone of the vaccum tube wakes up my solid state amps. I mainly use it for Distortion and chours/flanger/echo effects, all of which sound great. I can control the timing of the effects with ease. It has wonderful amp models with extra gain if you need it. It has its own volume, gain, and EQ with a built in tuner. The price is great for this bad boy, I've had it for over a year now and I plan on using it with all my gear all the time for hopefully a very long time. I recommend this pedal to EVERYONE! close [-]

Excellent Tone for the $$$

by Randy Tate from Louisville KY

Music Background: Years of experience
I play a 76 Les Paul Deluxe through this and into my Peavey DB210 and it has killer tone. You can dial in anything from crystal clear to mind-numbing distortion. You get a nice reverb unit, good delay... read more [+], a nice wah, decent flanger, chorus, phaser, octave, tremolo. You can dial in the amount of gain you want, so if you want a hint of distortion or full blown chaos, it is up to you. I like the ease of operation, the flexibility of the tones, and the affordable price. It is made well, and not some chintzy plastic box. It looks like it will hold up well to wear and tear. I would say if you want a nice group of classic tones with only a moderate amount of tweaking, this is a good box for you. I use a 76 Les Paul, an 89 Strat and an archtop Dean and get neat sounds from all of them. Highly recommended! close [-]

Music Background: active musician, I play on the Worship Team at church.
I use this pedal on both my PRS and my Taylor T5, and though this pedal was not designed for elctro-acoustic guitars, my T5 sounds absolutely stellar through it !

Nice Unit for the Money

This thing sounds great straight into the PA or recorded...if you cant get a good sound out of this going direct then you cant get a good sound period.

Very good at what it does

by Davis Warner from PA, USA

Music Background: Gigging musician, home recordist
The Tonelab ST is an interesting beast, that fits in a particular niche. It doesn't have the flexibility of the Tonelab LE or the Pod X3, and it doesn't have as many amp or effect models.

... read more [+]/> What it has are carefully selected, useful, and good-sounding amp and cabinet models, and some of the most commonly-used effects. To me, the Tonelab ST has three strengths: It sounds very good, it is a 24bit USB 2.0 recording interface (that works very well, in my experience), and it is inexpensive.

This fit the bill perfectly. I use it for playing at church (the main reason I bought it--it allows me to get the tones I need at a completely controllable stage volume) and recording at home.

I wasn't sure if it would be good enough to record with, so I did some tests. I have two of the modeled amps available to me (Fender Pro and Vox AC15), so I made the best recordings I could in my home studio with those two amps. I found that the Tonelab ST sounded better, with lower noise, than the best recordings I could make.

Do I recommend the Tonelab ST? Maybe. I would urge you to consider the ways you plan to use it. If you need a good amp modeler with basic effects (and are planning to plug directly to the PA board or to a full-range amp), it's a great (and low-priced) choice. If you need a wide array of effects or advanced effects routing, check out the Tonelab LE or the Pod X3. If you plan to use your own amp and want effects only, check out the Line6 M9. close [-]
