Hi there. I'm sorry but I don't really remember which patch I was using for this clip. It was a Fender model of some sort. These days I'm back to using a conventional amp. The Tonelab was great, but like most guitarists, I need a change once in awhile. Good luck and enjoy the Lab. It's a great unit.
Im considering the vox tonelab ex since they discontinued the le. It seems like the le sounds better, though. I don't know why it was discontinued. I don't know if the circuitry is quite the same as the le.
lol 'Oh, I think it's a Fender amp, I don't worry about that stuff too much'. HA! Gearheads vomitted in their mouths when you said that. Personally I agree with the sentiment that it lacks color but is certainly good enough for live. Thanks for posting.
I think you'd have to hear it live to make that call. Remember, this is a clip taken from a digital camera (and its cheezy mic), watched on a computer.
I recently put together a conventional tube amp and pedal rig (Dr Z and some really good pedals).
Sounds good, but I'm not sure it's any better than digital. I get my sound out of pretty much any kind of set up.
@mxgr194 I thought about the camera mic thing right after I posted. It's true. Time to go down to the store and play around. My ears are very tuned to tone but I agree that you can find good sounds in many places the purists wouldn't dare to tread. It's so boring if everyone agrees on the same handful of approved sounds.
HI FROM GREECE...IF I WANT TO USE THE TONELAB WITH A P.A should i use a d.i with it? cause i have used the tonelab a couple of times connected directly to a p.a and i didn't like the sound that much.i want to avoid the crap solid state amps that more studios have.i know that i should use ln2 mode ....but anything else....should i use a d.i like you do?
I asked him the same question in another post, heres the answer he gave me...If the tonelab is offstage and far from the PA then go ahead and use the DI boxes but, if the tonelab is onstage with you or you just using it in your garage or home setting then the DI is not nessesary
Case in point, vox ac30 has a plathora of sounds when used with your current set up. Imagine multiplying that option with the number of amps and configurations possible!
virtually ENDLESS!!!!
Technology is like a wild horse that needs to be tamed. If you can do this, you can ride it wherever you want to go!
There is a way of playing multi effects amp modellers and that is to treat it as such. However, because of the number of parameters and the learning curve required to use a specific amp modeller to optimum capacity, many guitar players tend to hide behind what they currently have and stand by their "organic" tone decision.
Yet, when used correctly, an amp modeller can spell the differecene between having an exponential amount of sounds and tones on your sound canvass!
No, you're totally right, it does. Your playings got it, but the tone is hollow and leaves much to be desired. I'd use modelling if I was strictly playing in a diverse cover band, but thats pretty much it. Sorry, I'd love to share some clips, but I have none on the net.
hey man your videos inspired me in buying tonelab le and im absolutely satisfied with it but some times one of the steal buttons the modulation to be exact doesnt respond. do you know what should i do?
Unfortunately the only solution is to get it fixed while it's still under warranty. It shouldn't cost a nickel, but you'll be without the unit for a few weeks.
I deal with the same store for a LOT of business so I know they would provide a loaner while it was away, but naturally that depends on the store.
Even intermittant troubles like yours should be covered.
I'm afraid your question is beyond my technical knowledge of the unit. Certainly a device like the G Sharp can be inserted to the Tonelab's Effects loop, but I can't speak with any authority on it's midi capabilities,
hi man, nice tones you have there.. i have a question for you, can the tonelab control presest from a unit like a TC electronics G sharp via midi? i really like the amp emulation of this pedal, but i would love to improve the cleans without braking the bank..
Hey Gallo, I run my tonelab into thew line in on my computer. I can plug my headphones into the computer and jam along with media player and disturb anybody. Its great. I can play as loud as I want and the tone is killer.
The sounds are presets which I modified. Really all I had to do was to drastically rduce the effects and adjust the eq to my taste. Also, it's important to note that the mic on the video camera cuts out a lot of bottom end so the actual sound is a bit fatter in person.
My suggestion is to try both units through the same amplification and with the same guitar and go with your gut. I suspect you can get a good sound from either. I chose the Tonelab because I think it's the best.
1. I really don't connect it to a computer but I know people do it. I know you can send the output to your computers speakers so I'm sure you can do what you're asking.
2. I connect directly to the PA (no amp at all). If you do use an amp I would recommend a keyboard amp or a powered PA monitor. Either of those will not "colour" the sound like a guitar amp would.
The Tonelab is designed as a complete rig (pedals, amp and speakers).
It would be as good but MUCH more limited. The Tonelab's strength is of course in its ability to copy famous amps, but not just one amp. It will also allow you to replicate MArshalls, Vox's, Fenders and others as well as providing excellent effects.
Hello Dr.MXR you got the best demos for the Tonelab LE, i am analog guy i like Andy Timmons and paul Gilbert type of tones i was willing to buy a Laney LC15 and make it run through a good distortion pedal , do your think that would be more real in tone more than vox tone lab le through PA ?
I'm sorry to say I don't know. I would have to turn it on and check.
Really though, all I did was to take an existing patch and turn off some of the effects. I think the clean tone comes largely from the single coil pickups.
The amp and head models are seperated, but I'm not sure if you can completely bypass the amp model and use the device just for a cab modeler. You can definitely mix and match amps and cabinets though.
No. The Tonelab does not have a power amp and so cannot drive a cabinet by itslf. None of the competitors units can do this either (Line 6, Korg, Boss et cetera).
Do you know if it's possible to run this on the amp's loop for more tone options, but also use the amp alone (like a bypass section of tonelab's)? And is this unit pedal friendly? If I'd use a ts-9 with tonelab's clean sounds, would that be ok?
Yes, as long as your amp's loop can be bypassed with a foot switch you can do that. Also, the Lab itself has an effects loop which enables yu to insert pedals quite easily.
Well they do similar things. Are they the same? I guess it comes down to taste. I tried all of the major brands including the Korg and selected the Vox. This was based on sound quality, capabilities and ease of use.
So would you say different exterior, but same innereds.Oh Le has a tube, but does it make that big of a difference. I use the korg ax 3000 on my youtube page (original song) give a listen. thanks.
I really don't know, because I don't use an amp with this device. I use it INSTEAD of an amp. I plug it right into the PA.
If you want to use it as an effects unit, one way to bypass it would be to put it in the effects loop of your amp (presuming you have a footswitch to bypass the loop).
How? Well if you really want to, you can build a patch from ground up, but all I do is find a patch that's close to what I want and remove the stuff I don't need (too many effects generally).
I think the key is to use single coil pickups.
Enjoy the pedal and thanks for checking out the clip,
Awesome thanks! But is it possible to have a bypass setting for one of the bank spaces? For example, when you hit the "delay" (silver) button you will have bypass, clean on your amp...
I have been playing bass for about 2 years and I recently started playing guitar. I want a multi effects pedal for my guitar . I am between the Boss Me-50 and the Tonelab Le. My friends tell me the Me 50 has some cool effects but some are mediocre and the Wah could have been much better. The Tonlab Le sounds great but it's a little more expensive next to the BOSS. Do you recomend me to pay the extra money for the VOX?
Well, honestly I haven't tried the Boss so it's not fair for me to comment on it, but the Vox is worth every penny in my opinion.
It's important to note that the Vox is more than just a multi effects unit. It's an amp and effects MODELLING device. The sounds are very natural and respond like a tube amp.
Thanks very much. I'm starting to believe more and more that the key to a good clean tone lies in using single coil pickups. Lately I've been using a Boss Recording device (BR900CD) and the clan tones are every bit as nice as the Tonelab.
Trying to get clean tones from humbuckers or P90s doesn't work for me.
I would love to, but I honestly don't remember. I always take an existing patch and twek it. The sound must be a stock patch with most of the effects turned off. Sounds like a Fender amp setting to me. The unit is locked away right at the moment.
please, a friend said me that "...in TONELAB LE There is no A/B switch, so if you need both a clean and dirty channel on a song, you need to get creative..."...that's true...?. Please talk about this...thanks.
Well your friend is partly correct. There is no A/B but nobody really used the A/B for this purpose anyway. To have a clean and dirty sound in the same song, you simply program the sounds you want in a bank (there are four sounds in every bank. This is a basic requirement for me and I have no trouble doing it at all.
Hey thanks man. I'm quite happy with the LE so far, but I definitely would like to fatten up my clean sound while still keeping it CLEAN. I don't like hairy clean tones. Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out for sure.
You may be right. It sounds a bit like a Fender amp, but almost TOO clean to be a Fender. Of course with single coils it's not terribly hard to get a decent clean tone.
Hey man! I just recently picked up an LE. I'm curious which patch you are using for this clean tone? Sounds really nice. Thanks!

A Fender amp like a twin reverb 65 + ibanez ts9?
I look for a list of the patches of the vox se too.
THis sound is really fantastic even if it's clean.

My computer or computer speakers had nothing to do with it.
It was the sound of the Tonelab into a PA system as recorded direct to the video camera. That's it. The computer was not in the room.
The guitar is a MIM Fender Strat with Carvin pickups, but really any single coil pickups can yield similar results.
I don't remember which amp was modelled but it sounds like a Fender to me.

Hey Milkman..
This is Lucidology from the TGP forum...
I just love the fact that it's so clean...
Reminds me of a cross between a JC120 & a 100 watt Twin ...
The SE version before this was incapable of this kind of clean ... the LE is a totally different approach.
In fact, it's you excellent playing & demo here of the Tonelab SE that convinced me to buy it ...
Try the Dumble Clean amp for a little more rounded warm Tone, but still very clean ...
Thanks Milkman ...!!

Hey thanks man. I'm quite happy with the LE so far, but I definitely would like to fatten up my clean sound while still keeping it CLEAN. I don't like hairy clean tones. Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out for sure.

Very Cool Milkman..
sounds like that the 2 X 12 Blackface tone (via Twin)

Thanks man,
You may be right. It sounds a bit like a Fender amp, but almost TOO clean to be a Fender. Of course with single coils it's not terribly hard to get a decent clean tone.

Wow, sweet man. How about a little demo on how to play Free Ride? I wanted you to keep jammin on that!

Thanks and sure no problem. The next time I have my rig set up (should be later this week) I'll blast through Free Ride for you.

Thanks. Some folks think it's a little TOO clean, but that's the way I like it.
