A Guitarist’s Guided Panel TourHere we’re going to learn about the knobs, buttons, and jacks on ToneLab’stop and rear panel.To help make this manual as painless to use as possible, we’ve given it aninside back cover that folds out. And, when you fold it out you’ll see nice big picturesof the Top Panel, Rear Panel and more. Why did we do this? So you canhave pictures of both panels staring you in the face while you read about ‘em - thusavoiding the annoying “flicking between pages” that most manual’s require you todo because there’s only one picture of a panel and it’s never on the same pageyou’re reading! So, fold out that useful back cover and let’s go...THE TOP PANELIntroductionPanel TourSetupProgram/ManualCreatingand Storing1 AMP SECTIONThese control the settings for the amp.1.1 AMP TYPE SelectorThis allows you to select an amp type. The amp type you select will determinethe operation of the power amp (Class A or AB), the response of the tone controls,and the wiring of the circuitry, causing the controls to function just as youwould expect on the actual amp being modeled. The sixteen stunningly accurateamp models - each of which is based on an accepted all-tube classic –include the legendary VOX AC30TBX. (For details, see p.21.) As already mentionedin the intro to this manual, each model not only replicates the exact gainand tonal characteristics of the original amp’s preamp circuit, it also simulatesthe all-important power amp stage, in terms of both Class (A or AB) and negativefeedback circuit (or lack thereof).1.2 CABINET TYPE SelectorThis selects one of ten cabinet models that replicate the shape and size of thecabinet plus the type and number of its speakers. (For details, refer to p.31.)HINT: Notice that the AMP TYPE, CABINET TYPE, and PEDAL selectors have theinstantly recognizable “chicken-head” (pointer) knobs in the true VOX tradition.Preamp Controls1.3 GAIN ControlThis adjusts the preamp gain of the selected amp model.1.4 VR GAIN ControlThis adjusts the volume from the preamp to the Valve Reactor circuit. This settingwill affect the amount of distortion produced by the Valve Reactor. (Fordetails, refer to p.22.)NOTE: The amount of Valve Reactor distortion is also affected by the GAIN control.With some settings, you’ll notice less distortion.5
