Main features
• The ToneLab EX features a power amp circuit that uses a
miniature triode 12AX7 (ECC83) vacuum tube that is nor ‐
mally used in preamps, generating the sound of a real tube
amp, and capturing the feel and tone of the original ampli ‐
fier (Valvetronix technology).
• Thirty ‐ three amp models using sophisticated modeling
technology are built ‐ in. There are also eleven speaker cabi ‐
net models, giving you an easy way to recall sounds rang ‐
ing from vintage amps of the past to expensive high ‐ end
tube amps.
• Fourty ‐ five high quality effects are built ‐ in, allowing you to
simultaneously use up to nine effect types including noise
reduction and the volume pedal.
• There are one hundred preset sounds (four programs in
each of 25 banks) that take advantage of the amps and ef ‐
fects, together with one hundred user ‐ editable programs
(four programs in each of 25 user banks), giving you a total
of two hundred programs that you can switch between by
pressing a foot switch while you perform.
• You can assign any of the eleven stand alone pedals and ad ‐
just various parameters using the control knobs in the amp
section. In this way, the ToneLab EX enables you to create
complex, pro ‐ level sounds featuring abundant effects.
• The expression pedal lets you control wah, volume, or
many other parameters with your foot – a great asset dur ‐
ing live performance.
• The Quick Assign function makes it easy to assign parame ‐
ters or other functions to the expression pedal.
• The Amp/Line switch ensures that your sound is correctly
optimized whether you’re using a guitar amp or line ‐ level
system as your audio output device. Setting this switch to
Line will activate a Total Equalizer that adjusts the tone of
the final output sound.
• A built ‐ in Auto Chromatic Tuner features switchable Nor ‐
mal mode and Strobe mode for easy tuning.
• If you use a commercially available USB cable to connect
the ToneLab EX to your computer, you’ll be able to use the
ToneLab EX librarian software on your computer to man ‐
age user programs, or use the ToneLab EX as a USB audio
interface.
