stand alone pedals
The ToneLab EX provides eleven models of the most popular
effect pedals. You can use the GAIN, TREBLE, MIDDLE and
BASS controllers to adjust the major parameters.
HINT:
Each pedal type’s GAIN (adjusted by the top panel
GAIN control) can be assigned to the expression pedal
for control. For details on how to assign a parameter to
the expression pedal, refer to “Assigning a function to
the expression pedal (Quick Assign)” (p. 31).
1. TONE DRIVE
This effect models a California boutique pedal that offers a
clean boost and overdrive in one effect. Dial in the right
amount of singing distortion and give your amp the boost it
needs to get extra sustain.
2. BRIT LEAD
This models a pedal that was nicknamed “The Leader”. It is a
British Overdrive designed to give more power and punch to
any amp.
3. FAT DIST
Based on a pedal named after one of the most disliked
rodents to ever walk the planet! The result is a smooth distor ‐
tion rich in harmonics... nasty but nice.
4. METAL DIST
This is a distortion unit that’s ideal for metal.
5. ROCK PLANET
Need metal? Well this is it. This model is based off a popular
metal distortion that uses a mid ‐ frequency sweep that scoops
you right down into the inner depths of the planet.
6. TUBE DX
This effect models a relatively new ultra high gain distortion
designed by a British amp company using an ECC83 tube
and high tension 300 volt circuit.
7. BIG FUZZ
This model is based on a pedal often referred to by its nick ‐
name—the “Rams head”. These were produced in New York
between 1972 and 1977 and are highly collectible and known
for having a complex harmonic fuzzed out distortion with
long sustain.
8. VOX TONE BENDER
This model is based on our original 60’s
Tone Bender fuzz pedal. The VOX
TONE BENDER was an aggressive fuzz
that utilized two transistors. The Tone
Bender was innovative because it
allowed more control over the distor ‐
tion with controls for attack and level.
9. OCTA FUZZ
This models a legendary UFO ‐ shaped fuzz unit that gener ‐
ates standard fuzz effects, and adds a pitch one octave above
the original. To get the best results, be sure to use your front
pickup.
