Quick Start A GUIDE FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO PLAY GUITAR FIRST, AND READ THE MANUAL LATER! ep, you’re right, the vast majority of manuals are about as interesting as watching paint dry and we know that you’re anxious to plug in to your new ToneLab and give it a whirl in the comfort of your home. So, here’s a “Quick Start” to get you up and running in a heartbeat. Y First we’ll get you started quickly using the preset programs.
. Before you turn ToneLab on, lower the volume of your amp or mixer so you don’t hear any potentially speaker-damaging pops or buzzes. Then turn on the STANDBY switch (6.2) to power up ToneLab. 6. Turn up the volume controls of your amp or mixer, and ToneLab’s rear panel LEVEL knob (9.3) to adjust the volume. NOTE: You won’t hear sound for several seconds while the valve (a.k.a. “vacuum tube” if you live on the west side of the Atlantic) warms up.
CREATE YOUR OWN SOUNDS 9. To create your own sounds, use the knobs and buttons of the amp and effects sections – just as you would expect! The controls of the amp section work basically the same as on your favorite guitar amp. Simply turn the GAIN (1.3), TREBLE, MIDDLE, BASS, PRESENCE (1.5–1.8), and VR GAIN (1.4) (which corresponds to MASTER) knobs to get your desired sound. To get the most distortion, turn up the VR GAIN knob. CH VOLUME (1.

Introduction To maximize your chances of enjoying a long and happy relationship with your ToneLab, please read this manual at least once, and (as they say), “use the product as directed.” Keep the manual for future reference after you’ve read it; you’ll want to re-read it later at some point to pick up cool tips you may have missed the first time around.
• ToneLab Sound Editor is an editor/librarian software that lets you visually edit ToneLab’s numerous parameters, and save and manage programs. To obtain the “ToneLab Sound Editor ,” please contact the VOX distributor in your country or download the latest version from: “http://www.voxamps.co.uk” or “http://www.valvetronix.com/” To find your local Distributor go to: “http://www.voxamps.co.uk/dealers/worldwid.
AN OVERVIEW OF ToneLab Let’s talk about how ToneLab is structured. SIGNAL ROUTE When you plug into ToneLab the signal passes through the following stages. You might want to glance at the explanations in “A Guitarist’s Guided Panel Tour” (p.5) while you read this section.
Program Select mode: • Choose, play, and edit any of the 96 programs. Manual mode: • Use ToneLab just like a guitar amp, where the sound will be exactly as the knobs are set. As we said before...what you see is what you get! UTILITY: • Adjust the noise reduction (the higher the settings the more noise will be suppressed). • Name a program. • Choose the function that will be controlled by the expression pedal of the optional foot controller. GLOBAL: • MIDI-related settings. • Adjust the digital output level.
Introduction Panel Tour Creating and Storing To help make this manual as painless to use as possible, we’ve given it an inside back cover that folds out. And, when you fold it out you’ll see nice big pictures of the Top Panel, Rear Panel and more.
1.5 TREBLE Control 1.6 MIDDLE Control 1.7 BASS Control This trio of controls allows you to dial-in the exact amount of high, mid, and low frequencies. The manner in which each one of these controls behaves and interacts with the others is dependent on the amp type selected. NOTE: In keeping with the originals, certain models will produce almost no sound when these three tone controls are turned all the way down (counterclockwise).
HINT: The reason that modulation, delay, and reverb effects are invariably set up after the amp rather than in front of the amp as a “stompbox” is simple. To most people’s ears, they sound better and more realistic that way. Think about it – REVERB emulates the sound created by a room or a hall. So, logic dictates that if we’re going to add it to our sound, the closer to the end of the signal chain we put it, the more “real” and natural it’s going to sound.
HINT: To set a precise delay time that matches a song’s tempo, tap your finger on the TAP button in time with the song. If it’s slightly off, use the Fine Control to match it perfectly. STEP ON IT! If the optional foot controller is connected, you can set the delay time by tapping your foot. HINT: To defeat Bypass, press the TAP button once again. 2.5 Value Knobs 1–3 In Program Select mode and Manual mode, these knobs adjust the effect. The knobs will edit the effect you selected by its TYPE button (i.e.
3.5 GLOBAL Button This is where you adjust settings for MIDI or the digital output. Press the GLOBAL button to make it light, and then use the 1/PREV and 2/ NEXT buttons (3.3) to move through the menu items listed below. After selecting the desired menu item, use value knob 3 or the ▲, ▼ buttons to √ and 4/® ® change the value. For some menu items, you will also use the 3/√ buttons.
4 VALVE 4.1 Valve window ToneLab contains a 12AX7 (ECC83) valve (vacuum tube). The valve is a key part of the Valve Reactor power amp. NOTE: The valve window may break if it is subjected to impact. Be particularly careful not to let it be struck directly, since this may also break the valve itself. If the valve window is broken, have it repaired immediately, since the valve itself may break or other damage may occur if this is not fixed. 5 INPUT/PHONES (The Front Panel) 5.
7 MIDI 7.1 MIDI OUT Jack This jack transmits MIDI data to control a connected external MIDI device. 7.2 MIDI IN Jack This jack receives MIDI data to control ToneLab from a connected external MIDI device. 8 PEDAL 8.1 VOX BUS Jack For connecting an optional VOX Valvetronix Foot Controller pedal...a must have item, as you’ll soon discover! NOTE: Don’t ever connect anything other than a compatable VOX foot controller to this jack! 9 OUTPUT 9.
Setup NOTE: You MUST turn off the power of all your equipment before you make connections. If you ignore this warning, you may damage your speaker system or experience malfunctions! BASIC CONNECTIONS 1. Use audio cables to connect the ToneLab’s OUTPUT L/MONO (9.2) to your mixer/recorder or guitar amp. (p.13, 14) NOTE: If you’re making connections in mono, use the OUTPUT L/MONO jack. However to take the fullest advantage of ToneLab’s sound, we strongly recommend that you use stereo connections.
• When using ToneLab for analogue recording, set the rear panel AMP/LINE switch (9.1) to the “LINE” position, and connect the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks (9.2) to the channel input jacks of your mixer or recorder. HINT: If you’re using a mono connection, use the OUTPUT L/MONO jack. HINT: If you’re using stereo connections, pan the input channels of your mixer/ recorder to the far left and right respectively.
USING ToneLab FOR LIVE PERFORMANCE EXAMPLE OF CONNECTION TO A GUITAR AMP (Or Amps) • If you are connecting ToneLab to one or more guitar amps for use in a live performance etc., set the rear panel AMP/LINE switch (9.1) to “AMP,” and connect the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks (9.2) to the input jacks of your amp(s). HINT: If ToneLab is connected to a guitar amp first, set the tone controls to their center positions and adjust them until ToneLab sounds right through your amp.
PROGRAMS (Program Select Mode) ToneLab has 96 programs (24 banks x 4 channels). Every one of these programs can be totally rewritten or “custom tweaked” to your heart’s content. With the factory settings, the channels in banks 1–12 contain a total of 48 preset programs. (Banks 13–24 contain the same preset programs as banks 1–12.) In order to select programs, you need to be in Program Select Mode. SELECTING A PROGRAM As an example, here’s how to select program 2-3 (bank 2, channel 3). 1.
GETTING TO PROGRAM SELECT MODE Here’s how to get to Program Select Mode. When you enter Program Select Mode, the bank number (1–24) will appear in the bank display (3.1). If the bank display shows “ ” (Manual Mode) This means that ToneLab is in Manual Mode. Do one of the following actions to return to Program Select Mode. • Press any one of the channel select 1–4 buttons (3.3). • Simultaneously press the BANK ▲ and ▼ buttons (3.2). If any of the UTILITY (3.4), GLOBAL (3.5), WRITE (3.6), or TUNER (3.
HINT: When you change the type or parameters in the amp or effect section, the display will show the type name or parameter name, and its value (a). A short time after you make a change, the display will return to the program name (b), but the state of the TYPE buttons and the function of the value knobs will be preserved. (a) (b) CREATING YOUR OWN PROGRAM(S) If you want to tweak an existing program, select one that’s close to the sound you want, and start by adjusting the GAIN (1.
5. Using the CABINET TYPE selector (1.2), choose the cabinet you want to use. HINT: For recommended combinations of amp and cabinet types, refer to p.33. 6. Adjust the GAIN (1.3), TREBLE, MIDDLE, BASS, PRESENCE (1.5–1.8) and VR GAIN (1.4) to taste. CH VOLUME (1.9) adjusts the volume while preserving the overall character of the distortion produced by the power stage. HINT: To get the most distortion, raise VR GAIN to a desired level. 7.
NOTE: The noise reduction setting is saved as part of each program. If you switch to a different program or to manual mode, or turn off the power without storing, your settings will be lost. 1. Press the UTILITY button (3.4) to make the button light. 2. The name display (3.8) will show “NR SENS” (noise reduction sensitivity). If anything else is selected, press the 1/PREV button (3.3) to make the display show NR SENS. 3. Use value knob 3 (2.5) or the ▲, ▼ buttons (3.
STORING A PROGRAM When your tweaking has resulted in a sound you’re happy with, store it! 1. Press the WRITE button (3.6). The name display (3.8) shows “✳WRITE✳,” and the bank display (3.1) and CHANNEL SELECT 1–4 buttons (3.3) will blink. 2. Use value knob 3 (2.5) or the ▲, ▼ buttons (3.2) to select the bank you want to use, and use the CHANNEL SELECT 1–4 buttons (3.3) to select the channel.
Explanations of the Amp and Effect Types T his section explains the sixteen amp models, ten cabinet models, ten pedal effects, and five modulation, three delay, and three reverb effects. For example, if an original amp doesn’t have a complete 3 band EQ network then we’ll set up the “missing” tone controls on our model to be “neutral” (i.e. as the original) when set it at 12 o’clock - thus giving you extra tonal flexibility in those EQ areas, if you so wish.
on the original then PRESENCE will be an added control on our model. This time though, the “neutral” position is when the control is all the way off (turned fully counterclockwise). The two models this applies to are BLACK 2x12 and TWEED 1x12. IMPORTANT NOTE: As you’ll discover when you read their descriptions, in the case of the AC15, AC15TB, AC30 and AC30TB models, we’ve utilized the PRESENCE control to mimic the TOP CUT control - whether it was present on the original or not.
Tube Talk Us Brits call ‘em valves while our US cousins call ‘em tubes...as the saying goes: England and America are merely two countries divided by a common language! Anyway, call ‘em what you will, these wondrous glass bottles lie at the tonal heart of each of our 16 models.
AC30 and AC30TB. In a nutshell, the result of this design is more power and more distortion - the latter of which gets thick with second and third order harmonics that become more and more prevalent as the amp is cranked. Thanks to our unique Valve Reactor Technology the power stage of your ToneLab is automatically switched to its “EL84s in a Class A circuit with no feedback” emulation whenever AC15, or any of the other three Vox models, is chosen.
3. AC30 4. AC30TB Even though the AC30 was a runaway success, several artists expressed a desire for the amp to have more tonal flexibility and a pinch of extra gain too. VOX reacted quickly and came up with some clever extra tone circuitry that featured an additional ECC83 valve and was called “Top Boost.”* When “Top Boost” was added to an AC30 it increased the gain of the combo’s Brilliant channel, and added two extra EQ controls, giving the amp three tone controls -Treble, Bass and Cut.
Once again, the PRESENCE control of our model acts as the original’s Cut (but in reverse: “off” = cut) while the GAIN, TREBLE and BASS mimic the original’s Volume, Treble and Bass controls. The MIDDLE is an “extra” with 12 o’clock being its “neutral” position.
7. UK ’80S This is modelled on a 1983, all tube, single channel 100 Watt head that boasts a Master Volume control - a wonderful feature that allows the user to dial in a decent crunch tone without having to max out the amp’s volume. Invariably played with it’s (preamp) Gain control cranked to the max, this amp was responsible for the fat, roaring sound that dominated ’80s hard rock and heavy metal.
10. RECTO This bad boy is based on the “Modern High Gain” channel of a brutal, 100 Watt, armour-plated beast hailing from California. Its deep, dark, loose low-end, some what “fizzy” top and Monster-like gain has made this all-tuber a mainstay for many modern, metal acts who either tune their guitars down as low as they can possibly go, or wield 7-string axes. At low GAIN settings, RECTO produces a distinctive, bright clean sound bolstered by some rich, upper harmonics that add fullness and dimension.
ups. It is also incredibly responsive and extremely sensitive to picking styles and pickup selection. And, as an added bonus, strummed chords just ring out and blossom. Original’s tube compliment: 3 x 12AX7s in the preamp, 4 x 6L6s in the power amp. 14. BLACK 2X12 (BLK 2X12) 15. TWEED 1X12 (TWD 1X12) The original we modelled here was born in Fullerton, California, in 1958, and clad in “tweed” - hence its name! Just like the AC15, this 18 Watt, 1x12, all-tube combo is the very essence of simplicity.
puppy up will produce those classic, old rockabilly and rock “n” roll sounds of the ’50s and ’60s, at the drop of a 10 gallon hat - especially when a single coil pickup is used. Original’s tube compliment: 1 x 12AY7, 1 x 12AX7s in the preamp, 1 x 5Y3GT rectifier, 2 x 6V6s in the power amp. 16. TWEED 4X10 (TWD 4X10) The 4x10 combo we modelled here was built in 1959 and originally intended for bass guitar.
B. CABINET MODELS Now let’s look at the CABINET models: 3. BLACK 2X10 (BLK 2X10) Although we did not model the amp that goes exactly with this cabinet, we loved the tone of this mid-60s Fullerton, California made open backed 2x10" ceramic magnet (of US origin) 35 Watt combo. So here it is. Great for blues, jazz and country. As with all cabinet models it can be mixed and matched with any amp model to produce some interesting tonal combinations. But for some recommended uses, please see the following charts.
recordings of many styles of music, but very predominantly Country and Blues based Rock. 5. VOX AC15 (AC15) This is a 1x12" open backed combo using the famed VOX Blue Alnico speaker, manufactured by Celestion in Ipswich, England. The one we used was a modern re-issue that was housed in the VOX AC15TB combo. This speaker, which is 8 Ohms impedance, 15 Watts power handling, is amazingly full-bodied for a 1x12 open back cab, and, of course, helps bring the famous VOX chime to the forefront. 6.
11. OFF OK, this not a cabinet. The OFF position turns off the cabinet modelling area of the ToneLab, and allows the direct amp models to be sent directly to the outputs. When would you use this? When you are connecting directly to a guitar system (guitar amp input or power amp/speaker cab system). WHAT GOES WITH WHAT? Basically, with your ToneLab you can mix any amp model to any cabinet model, and create many varied tones.
Due to the flexibility of your ToneLab, mixing and matching all of the amp and cabinet models can be done with the turn of a switch, without any risk of blowing the speakers up. Something that cannot be done in real life (unfortunately!). This capability can lead to some very interesting combinations, some useful, perhaps some not, but only you can decide what is useful to you, as your tone requirements are unique. Please feel free to explore all combinations of amps and cabinets.
3. ACOUSTIC Wanna go “unplugged” without the hassle of switching guitars and amps? Enter the acoustic guitar simulator - a clever effect that magically converts an electric guitar’s sound into that of an acoustic. It works best with a single coil (read: low output) pickup in the neck position, especially when paired with the BLACK 2x12 amp model. [1] “BASS” [2] “BODY” 0.0...10.0 Adjusts the bass. 1.0...10.0 Adjusts the body resonance.
6. U-VIBE Modelled on the famous Univox Uni-Vibe - a phase/vibrato effect that was designed to simulate a rotating speaker and produces a wonderfully seductive and “watery” tone. Interestingly enough, the guy responsible for this great pedal is also responsible for the birth of the remarkable Valve Reactor Technology used in the power amp of your ToneLab. [1] “SPEED” 1.00...10.00 [Hz] Adjusts the speed of the Uni-Vibe effect. [2] “MIX” 0.0...10.0 Adjusts the mixture of direct sound and vibrato.
D. MOD (Modulation) EFFECTS This section enables you to add a modulation effect after the cabinet. You can choose one of the five types of modulation effects. Here you can also assign external control over the SPEED control. “DEPTH” 0.0...10.0 “DEPTH” 0.0...10.0 “DEPTH” 0.0...10.0 “DEPTH” 0.0...10.0 “DEPTH” 0.0...10.0 1. OFF Select this if you don’t want to use a MOD effect. 2.
4. PHASER A model of a much respected and popular analogue phaser, housed in a banana yellow box! [1] [2] [3] (*) “SPEED” 0.100...10.00 [Hz](EX) “RESO(RESONANCE)” 0.0...10.0 “DEPTH” 0.0...10.0 MANUAL 1.0...10.0 Adjusts the modulation speed. Adjusts the amount of resonance. Adjusts the modulation depth. Adjusts the center frequency of the sweep. 5. TREMOLO This effect is based on the highly acclaimed tremolo circuit found in a BLACK 2x12.
1. OFF Select this if you don’t want to use the delay effect. 2. DELAY When this high quality digital delay effect is employed, the tone of each repeat is so good it is indistinguishable from the original note(s). 3. TAPE ECHO (T ECHO) This is an incredibly accurate model of one of the most respected analogue tape echo machines ever made. In the original the “echo” is produced by a playback head and the exact “delay time” is set by varying the motor speed.
F. REVERB EFFECTS Here you can make settings for the reverb effect that is played after the cabinet. You can choose one of three types of reverb. (EX): This indicates a parameter that you can control from the expression pedal of the optional foot controller. REVERB LO DAMP: knob 1 MIX: knob 2 HI DAMP: knob 3 SPRING/ROOM/PLATE “LO DAMP” 0.0...10.0 “MIX” 0.0...10.0 “HI DAMP” 0.0...10.0 1. OFF Select this if you don’t want to use the reverb effect. 2.
Tuner F or your convenience, ToneLab houses a built-in auto chromatic tuner that can be calibrated between 438 Hz and 445 Hz. TUNING PROCEDURE 1. Simply press the TUNER button (3.7) and the auto chromatic tuner will be activated. 2. When you play a note on your guitar, the nearest pitch and a tuning meter will appear in the name display (3.8). Note name# Meter Pitch is flat Pitch is sharp! Correct tuning F# G G# A A# B 3. Watch the meter, and tune your guitar. 4.
Using the Optional Foot Controller T • • • • • • he optional VOX Valvetronix foot controller lets you control the following functions.
1. Press the UTILITY button (3.4) to make the button light. 2. Press the 1/PREV or 2/NEXT button (3.3) to make the name display (3.8) read “EXP ***”. The parameter will change each time you press a button. 3. Use value knob 3 (2.5) or the ▲, ▼ buttons (3.2) to specify the target. “EXP ***” selects the expression target (i.e., the effect that will be controlled). The parameter that will be controlled will depend on the effect you select.
8. Use value knob 3 (2.5) or the ▲, ▼ buttons (3.2) to specify how the expression pedal control value will be initialized. “EXP INIT” specifies whether the control data (pedal position) of the expression pedal will be maintained when you switch programs. If this is “OFF,” the parameter selected as the expression target will immediately change to the current position of the pedal at the moment you switch programs.
Control via MIDI IDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is a world-wide standard for exchanging various types of musical data between electronic musical instruments and computers. When MIDI cables are used to connect two or more MIDI devices, performance data can be exchanged between the devices, even if they were made by different manufacturers. M ToneLab can use MIDI to communicate in the following ways with another MIDI device.
MIDI interface MIDI OUT MIDI IN MIDI OUT To a MIDI sequencer/computer MIDI IN Dedicated foot controller ToneLab NOTE: You will need a MIDI interface in order to connect your computer with ToneLab. Some USB-MIDI interface devices may not be able to transmit/receive the ToneLab’s MIDI exclusive messages. SETTING THE MIDI CHANNEL (GLOBAL “MIDI CH”) In order to exchange data with an external MIDI device, ToneLab’s MIDI channel must match the MIDI channel of your external MIDI device.
2. Press the 1/PREV or 2/NEXT button (3.3) to make the name display (3.8) show “PCHG OUT.” 3. Specify whether program change messages will be transmitted. Use value knob 3 (2.5) or the ▲, ▼ buttons (3.2) to make the desired setting. “OFF”: Program change messages will not be transmitted. “On”: Program change messages will be transmitted. CONTROL CHANGE (GLOBAL “CCHG I/O”) √ or 4/® ® buttons to select the controller for which you want to trans4. Use the 3/√ mit or receive settings.
“CC00”–“CC95”: When you operate a controller, messages of the specified control change number 00–95 will be transmitted. Similarly, ToneLab will be controlled when it receives messages of the same control change number from an external MIDI device. PARAMETER CHANGE (GLOBAL “SYEX OUT”) When you operate ToneLab’s knobs or buttons to edit the value of a parameter, system exclusive such as parameter changes are transmitted.
BACKING UP 1. Connect ToneLab’s MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN of the device that will receive the data dump. 2. If you want to transmit only one program, use Program Select Mode to select the program you want to transmit. If you want to transmit the Manual Mode settings, select Manual Mode. 3. Press the GLOBAL button (3.5) to make the button light. 4. Press the 1/PREV or 2/NEXT switch (3.3) to make the name display (3.8) read “DUMP CUR” or “DUMP ALL.
the settings of the amp section are determined by the physical positions of the selectors and controllers, they will not change.) HINT: If ToneLab received all data, all data other than the amp section settings of Manual Mode will be overwritten automatically. However if the data was received in Program Select Mode, the data being edited (i.e., the edit buffer) will not be changed. Adjusting the Digital Output Level (GLOBAL “DOUT LVL”) H ere’s how to adjust the output volume of the DIGITAL OUT jack. 1.
Restoring the Factory Preset Programs H ere’s how you can restore ToneLab’s programs and all its other settings to the state in which it was shipped from the factory. NOTE: This operation will permanently erase all the programs you’ve written or tweaked yourself. MIDI settings and settings you made in Manual Mode will also be erased.
Troubleshooting I f you suspect a malfunction, please check the following points first. If this does not resolve the problem, contact a nearby dealer. 1. The amp isn’t powering up when the STANDBY switch is “on” • • • • Is the AC/AC power supply connected to the rear panel ~AC9V jack? Is the AC/AC power supply plugged into an AC outlet? Is the STANDBY switched on? Could the AC/AC power supply be damaged? 2.
5. You can’t hear any MODULATION, DELAY or REVERB effects even though they’re dialed in... • Are the effect LEDs lit? If an LED is dark, the corresponding effect is off. Press the TYPE button to select an effect type. • Could the modulation “DEPTH” or the delay/reverb “MIX” be set to a low value? Press the TYPE button to select an effect and use the value knobs to adjust the appropriate parameters. • Could the effect be bypassed? Is the effect type LED blinking? If so, press the TAP button to cancel bypass.
