Info

Due to the flexibility of your <strong>ToneLab</strong>, mixing and matching all of the amp andcabinet models can be done with the turn of a switch, without any risk of blowingthe speakers up. Something that cannot be done in real life (unfortunately!).This capability can lead to some very interesting combinations, someuseful, perhaps some not, but only you can decide what is useful to you, asyour tone requirements are unique. Please feel free to explore all combinationsof amps and cabinets. That is the beauty of <strong>ToneLab</strong>.NOTE: Product names appearing in this manual are trademarks of their respectiveowners, which are not associated or affiliated with VOX in any way.

OFFSelect this when you don’t want to use a PEDAL effect.2. COMPGotta play a clean passage that needs to be nice, smooth and even? Need a hairmore sustain on a lead line? Then, look no further; COMP is the pedal for you.Modelled on a compressor pedal that is hugely popular due to the percussiveclean sound it can produce - making it perfect for ’80s and ’90s pop and funkrhythm work. It can also add a singing, mellow sustain to lead lines - clean or dirty.[1] “SENS” 1.0...10.0 Adjusts the sensitivity of the compressor (i.e. when its“smoothing” effect kicks in). The amount of compression/sustainwill increase the more you turn this controlup.[2] “ATTACK” 1.0...10.0 Adjusts the strength of the attack.[3] “LEVEL” 0.0...10.0 Adjusts the output level.34
3. ACOUSTICWanna go “unplugged” without the hassle of switching guitars and amps? Enterthe acoustic guitar simulator - a clever effect that magically converts an electricguitar’s sound into that of an acoustic. It works best with a single coil (read: lowoutput) pickup in the neck position, especially when paired with the BLACK 2x12amp model.[1] “BASS” 0.0...10.0 Adjusts the bass.[2] “BODY” 1.0...10.0 Adjusts the body resonance. You’ll need to adjust theBASS along with this parameter to keep a balance.[3] “TREBLE” 0.0...10.0 Adjusts the treble.4. VOX WAHThis effect is modelled on the legendary VOX Wah pedal, the V847. Thanks to itsunique “throaty” tone, the V847 is the only Wah pedal many professionals will considerstepping on. When used wisely, this pedal can either make your guitar crylike a baby or howl like a man possessed![1] “CLOSE” 1.0...10.0 Adjusts the tone when the wah pedal is closed.[2] “PEDAL” 0.0...10.0 Mimics the “sweep” of the wah pedal — from open toclosed.[3] “OPEN” 1.0...10.0 Adjusts the tone when the wah pedal is open.USEFUL TONE HINT: A great tonal trick that’s employed by many guitarists,including some who are household names, is to find a “sweet spot” within the rangeof their Wah pedal and then leave it there. This is often called stuck-Wah (imaginethat!) and, when used tastefully, can be very effective as it produces a very distinctivesound that will cut through any mix. You can dial in a stuck-Wah “sweet spot”with your TONE control in a heartbeat. Try it, it’s cool...STEP ON IT! Yet another reason to buy the optional foot controller! Yep, you’veguessed it — you can use the pedal of the foot controller to control VOX WAH.5. AUTO WAHThe lazy man’s Wah pedal! Only kidding...this quirky but useful effect allows you tocreate an automatic “Wah” effect that varies with your picking dynamics (i.e. howhard or soft you hit the strings).[1] “SENS” 0.0...10.0 Adjusts the sensitivity of the effect.[2] “ATTACK” 1.0...10.0 Adjusts the Auto Wah’s response speed.[3] “POLARITY” uP(UP), dn(DOWN) Sets the direction in which the auto wahwill operate.REVERB DELAY MODULATION PEDAL CABINET AMP TYPE Amp/EffectTYPE35
