There's a wide range of available sounds and the presets reflect that variety by providing tones to suit most musical styles. Setting up a sound is straightforward whether you are starting from scratch or just tweaking one of the onboard presets. There are no operational niggles with the ToneLab ST - the tough metal body should be able to take the knocks plus the controls are simple to operate. Hear Guitarist's Simon Bradley put the ToneLab ST through its paces: The USB computer connection allows two channels of audio back and forth with the single output on the back of the unit acting as a stereo output for headphones or another monitoring system if not being used as the mono send to an amp.Ī rear panel four-position switch selects EQ options to best suit connection to either a line output or Vox, Marshall or Fender amps, while an aux input allows connection of MP3 players and the like for playing along with music. A pair of footswitches provides up and down access through the list of patches and can also select the onboard tuner. Whatever you set up on the front panel can be stored - including assignment of the pedal treadle, if not used for wah or volume, to a particular effect parameter. The ToneLab ST has 100 memory patches on board, comprising 50 factory presets and 50 slots to store your own sounds.

At the end of the signal chain a single rotary knob offers varying degrees of spring, room and hall reverb. The next stage in the chain - the modulation/delay effect, again with 11 effects choices - has two editable parameters adjustable by a rotary knob or, where appropriate, a Tap Tempo button. Whatever pedal is chosen has one major parameter that can be adjusted. There are 11 choices of pedal to start off the signal chain, these include five different overdrive/distortion/fuzz choices, treble boost, compressor, wah, octaver, Univibe and an acoustic simulation. While in this mode the treble knob adjusts presence and the middle knob turns on and sets the amount of noise reduction.

One of 11 cabinets can then be selected using the gain knob - the number of the cabinet appearing in the ToneLab's small numeric display.

Choosing a cabinet model to go with your amp is a simple matter of holding down the cabinet switch until it flashes.
