Tonelab

[Cranium]

I went to GC to check out the Vox Tonelab and the AD30VT and the Marshall AVT20, first time I tried the Tonelab (through Vox AD50VT) I didn't really like it too much, I went on to the AD30VT which didn't impress me too much either, then the Marshall AVT20X which I liked, but I couldn't really get more then 2 tones out of it.

I went back to the AD30VT and I saw a AD60VTX with the NeoDog speaker for $799 (I think) and the panel was just like the Tonelab but without a few things, it sounded so much better then the AD30VT I couldn't help but go play the Tonelab again, but this time I tried setting up the AD50VT a little too and the sound was a lot better! I liked it much more then the AD30VT and decided to take it home .

It sounds quite different through other amps, it also sounds very realistic except the effects don't quite sound right sometimes, it’s a little bit complicated for unsophisticated people like me, and I might be writing a review on it some times later (when I figure out what some of there knobs do). R

PS: Any of you Tonelabbers have any cool preset ideas?

The tonelab is a fantastic modeler, but the presets are among the worst I´ve ever tried. Once you get to know her, you are going make her howl

Read the manual, for example the Blackface amp uses the presence knob to emulate the bright switch. It contains lots of humor too, so it´s a easy read.

If you have a midi interface I could send you my patches (the tonelab editor is great!).
