Apart from the vitalvalve tone this ingeniouspower amp design provides, italso allows us to replicatevarious “circuit characteristics”that are unique to the allvalvepower stages of theamps we’ve modelled. These“characteristics” include:Class A or Class AB operation,Presence and Resonance(low end) controlcircuitry (both found in thenegative feedback circuit thatsome, but not all, valve powerPREAMPFEEDBACKCIRCUIT(WITH OR W/OPRESENCE &RESONANCE)MODELDEPENDENTVOX VALVE REACTORPHASEINVERTERamps have) and power output. Being able to match such vital characteristics helpsensure that each and every one of our models is as tonally authentic as possible -as opposed to the usual “close but definitely no cigar” norm of digital modeling.And just so you know, this patented in USA power amp technology is unique toVOX Valvetronix.BIASBIAS12AX7(ECC83)12AX7(ECC83)12AX7 (DUAL TRIODE)PUSH–PULL OUTPUTCLASS A OR ABMODEL DEPENDENTOUTPUT TRANSFORMERREACTORAMPUSINGCONSTANTCURRENT &REACTIVEFEEDBACKDUMMYSPEAKERIntroductionPanel TourSetupProgram/<strong>Manual</strong>Creatingand StoringAN OVERVIEW OF <strong>ToneLab</strong>Let’s talk about how <strong>ToneLab</strong> is structured.SIGNAL ROUTEWhen you plug into <strong>ToneLab</strong> the signal passes through the following stages.You might want to glance at the explanations in “A Guitarist’s Guided PanelTour” (p.5) while you read this section.PEDALEFFECTSAMP MODELS16 TYPEGAINPRE AMPVR GAINVALVE REACTORPOWER AMPCLASS ACLASS ABCHVOLUMECABINETMODELS10 TYPEEFFECTSMODULATIONDELAYREVERBAMP/LINESWSTRUCTUREYou will perform or create sounds using one of <strong>ToneLab</strong>’s two modes; ProgramSelect mode or <strong>Manual</strong> mode.Additional functions are provided by UTILITY and GLOBAL modes (where youcan make settings for the optional foot controller and for MIDI), WRITE modewhere you can save your original programs, and TUNER mode which lets youtune your guitar.
