Vox Tonelab

Description

Not just a powerful desktop modeling processor or just another Valvetronixproduct – the Tonelab has features not found in the Valvetronix amp series, like separate speaker cab modeling that produces an uncanny spacial sense even when using the line out – plus MIDI I/O for transferring programs and editing and features a S/PDIF jack for direct-to-digital interfacing. Briefly, specs include: VOX Valve Reactor (using a 12AX7/ECC83 dual triode as a power amp tube) circuit delivers the sound and feel of actual tube power amps, 16 amp models ranging from vintage classics to modern “boutique” standards, 10 cabinet models add even more variety and authenticity, 22 modeled effects with quality that rivals stand-alone units, Heavy-duty construction, Familiar knob-based interface for ease of use, 96 programs, Headphone output, Optical digital out (S/P DIF) for digital recording (Tonelab Only), Dedicated editor software for even more detailed editing, MIDI I/O, Optional Valvetronix series foot controller for even more performance possibilities, Backlit LCD with easily viewed LED-like display. Like most of these all-in-one units, there’s too much to list here but for full specs click here for Vox’s Site. These were a $600 list when discontinued a year or so ago but this one is “as new” with not a hint of use and ships in original box with power supply and manual. Great sounding unit for the studio or even live sound and, best of all, knobs…glorious knobs…for players who like to look down and do a tweak with a twist of a knob rather than scroll to another screen. All this for just $199(Hold ~ Ken L 2/24).
